"Mancation" was actually anything but funny, and I can say that I honestly didn't laugh a single time throughout the entire movie.I should be said that director Frank Vain is trying to put together a comedy here, but it just failed miserably. The jokes were far between and when they were there, the punchlines were off and the comedy just wasn't there.The story in "Mancation" is about Vince (played by Matt Kawczynski) who just have gotten married to the boss's daughter. Upon their wedding day he comes home and finds her in bed with the bridesmaid; it turns out that she is a lesbian, and has been so all throughout their relationship. Together with his brother Leo (played by Stephen Medvidick) and his two friends Brady (played by Joey Fatone) and Adam (played by Jake Matthews), Vince travels to Atlantic City to meet up with his high school sweetheart.Right, storywise, then "Mancation" did have potential, just a shame that the storyline wasn't fully brought to justice given the bad jokes and lack of comedy throughout the entire movie. It should be said that the people cast for the various roles were actually doing good enough jobs, it was just the script that was working against them.The only memorable scene in the entire movie is the controversy stand-off between Adam and Igor (played by Derek Lindeman). It wasn't actually funny, but it was so bizarre and disturbing that it stood out in an otherwise stale and irrelevant movie.If you are looking for comedy, then your money would be better spent on something else. There really isn't much to come here for, truth be told.

...then we might have a piece of crap here. It's a terribly difficult task to try to wrap your mind around the purpose of making this movie, and even more mind boggling is the cast. I mean Joey Fat One and a freshly dusted off thirty-something Winnie Cooper? Atlantic City as the crazy party scene? I was hoping that it was one of those movies that are so bad that they are funny to watch, but it was actually trying to be quasi-dramatic. Joey Fatone has exactly three facial expressions and they are all really annoying to look at. The sad thing is that I think he tried really hard and worked tirelessly in front of a mirror to nail those confused puppy dog looks. I'm wondering what the hell happened to this guy anyway? Was this a slippery slope movie? Is this the bottom for Joey? You'd think Timberlake would throw him a bone and save him from this nonsense, but he took a left somewhere when Justin took a right. Now he's just a lost soul treading in the depths of the entertainment industry and if he's going to do porn he better get to fu@&ing fast because he is literally going to look like Ron Jeremy sooner than later and he just doesn't carry that kind of street cred in his repertoire that anyone with a sex drive is going to remember in ten years.Danica oh Danica...Why did you do this to me? We are the same age and I had the biggest childhood crush on you from The Wonder Years and you just absolutely ruined everything. I wasn't even aware that you still acted. You and Fatone just popped up out of nowhere. You two just please go back to that place where you've been low key for all these years. This i just wrong on so many levels. And as hot as you turned out, my imagination had you so much hotter and that visual has been savagely ripped from my mind, so for that I will never be able to watch The Wonder Years again without an overwhelming feeling of shame clouding over me, mostly for you, not for me. You could have at least gave us some frontal nudity, maybe a shower scene for us jaded poor viewers who got dooped into watching this piece of crap.To sum it up very nicely: The crazy guy wasn't really crazy; the cool guy wasn't cool; the weird guy was just corny; even Winnie and her rack were horrible. The comedy was non-existent. If it wasn't for the porn star in the beginning and Winnie's bouncing breasts at the end, then I would give it one star. I'll throw in a star for each pair of nice breasts I saw in this movie, bringing the grand total to three, lousy, pathetic, heartless, soulless, lame, Fatonish, stars.P.S. Those 2 positive reviews from Philadelphia are absolutely absurd and they deserve some kind of horrible tragedy in their lives to make everything right for that nonsense.

I thought the movie was entertaining and enjoyably funny. I had the pleasure of watching it with several dozen people. I knew about half of the people, the others were strangers. The laughter in the room grew louder and louder as the movie progressed. When the movie ended, the topic of conversation was the hilarious scenes depicted in the movie. Having shared laughter and engaging conversation about the movie, strangers became friends.The known actors did a great job of fulfilling their roles. And the unknown actors performed as if they were seasoned pros. The movie accomplished what a good movie should accomplish and that was to provide entertainment that consumed your thoughts.While extremely funny, the movie also has a plot that takes the viewers through twists and turns which result in surprise events. As with any comical show, viewing it with a group of friends rather than alone, will enhance the enjoyment.

I saw this movie at a screening in Philadelphia. I laughed so hard my sides were sore the rest of the night. The audience roared through the whole movie. The best part about the screening was that it was a well diverse audience. Not just 20-35 year old males, a good mix of male and female. Some scenes had me laughing so hard I was crying.The main stars were very good, the unknown actors made the movie. This movie starts out hysterical and just gets funnier as it progresses. Sometimes pushing the limits. This film has no redeeming social value, except that it will make you laugh at the ridiculousness and help you forget about the nonsense we deal with on a daily basis. Hanover move over,this is going to be the next cult film.
