I am an immigrant, so for me "American" film industry kind of simple, predictable, boring, like pop music, it is product line, but for sure there is some diamonds, and No Way Joe is one of them. It is not for sale! There is amazing music! "coach" song - awesome! Lots of information to think about Good actors, good camera man.I wish there will be more movies like this, and not "popcorn" movies that kills your time and then you leave with empty head and wont be able to recall after one year what this movie was about... This movie will leave something in your head and in your heart, for sure! Unfortunately people don't like to think, and movie with guy that jumps and shoot for 2 hours more popular than movies like "no way Jose" You can see it by rating and budget. But there is always people who not run after money, they make movies like this and make this world better! Love you guys!Thank you!

I'm not sure what kind of mid-life crisis Goldberg is having but this is 97 minutes of unwatchable rambling garbage through no real story line or anything interesting at all. It's very clear that the actors involved think their jokes are clever and funny but really they're all just laughing together and no one else understands a thing they're saying. I sincerely regret renting this, not so much for the $ I spent, but more for the wasted trip to RedBox. I shut it off at the 50 min mark while fighting back alternating yawns and nausea. I'd ask for my money back but I desperately want to avoid hearing or seeing Goldberg again. Ever. Steer clear.

Flop is the first word I thought after seeing this movie.Honestly I'm at a lose for words because Jose the main character in this story went from frustrated over aged rocker wannabe, to child molester, to chronic psychological neck pain patient, to inhibited boyfriend, to just a lot of talk with his fellow frustrated over aged rocker wannabe's.And then the constant news feed of crime and violence in Mexico where Jose and his former but still attached girlfriend wanted to go for their honeymoon but she kicked him out because she discovered a long ago 'mistake' Jose got in trouble doing, and what was the purpose of the half-sister, and the pool woman?The movie is like a balled up tangled string and all of Jose antics and talking can't undo the knots.

Jose lacks purpose and never committed himself fully to anything. He is singer in a band, Jose and the Joses, that plays at children birthday parties but refuses to write children's songs for example. He still borrows money from his sister who made moderate fame with You Tube make-up tutorials. When the real motives behind his name change to Jose come out and break up his relationship he has to re-evaluate his life. The movie works as an underdog character piece with pointy dialogue. It reminds slightly of Greenberg although less strong and slightly listless in it's execution. The performance of the cast alone is worth it though. O'Reilly and Goldberg deliver as a couple so do Siegel and Belknap as supportive friends. Being mediocre, it still has some true gems. Band membermGabe losing himself in solo is touching and Jose's conversation with his sister summer are truly phenomenal moments to name a few.
