Please don't spend money on this.
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
The cast recognised as great characters in top box office movies are implementing themselves in their roles in this movie brilliantly. Love it! Watched it again and again and I see different angles every time. One of the most underrated movies I've seen x
I had this movie on my desk for a couple of months.. waiting and waiting for the right moment.. One day, when I was sitting on the couch with my beer and a couple of cigs, I decided I had 90 minutes to spend for this DVD. Well.. never spent better. This movie is amazing. Imagine you're at a party, imagine you have a couple of cameras, imagine you'll die the next morning... what would you do to make the best movie ever? ..probably nothing but enjoy the party with some drugs hanging out with girls and having fun. That's exactly what happened. This movie is REAL, You can feel the characters, their opinions and their way of being..Nothing more to say for me.. just watch it.
London is one of those movies that seem to typify what 'modern' film-makers seem to think encapsulates modern 'melodrama' or 'social realism'. Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha If the objective of this film is to assemble a cast of entirely unlikeable, pretentious, self-absorbed, egocentric late 20somethings (pretending to be teenagers (huh?) of unlikely wealth & unexplained income ???), inside a single New York apartment. Played out to a backdrop of supposed 'life issues' & 'internal turmoil' (ha,ha). Wherein, this group of self-pitying, narcissistic, drug-taking, arrogant, pathetic idiots pout about the place, dispensing cod-philosophy, and whining about meaningless aspects of their obviously privileged life. Then Hunter Richards has succeeded admirably.Even the movies tag-line manages to cause exasperatingly, wide-eyed moral offence: "One young man's incredible journey of self-discovery" errrr how so? What? by snow-balling coke all night then acting like a total W**ker. Evans's character Syd has got to be the most revolting & unsympathetic characters I've ever witnessed on screen. - I think I'd rather invite Norman Bates round for my going away party. As we are forced to sit through flashbacks of him preaching and treating his unnervingly beautiful, willing yet vacuous ex-girlfriend like s**t. We're then forced to swallow the unlikely conceit that this total a**ehole couldn't say "I Love You" to her in 2 years. (pass me the shotgun). Unbelievably, we are expected to feel some sort of empathy and compassion toward this character back in the present, as he snorts coke, and continues to treat his ex like s**t. What a total scumbag..!It's interesting to read other user reviewers and comments, who announce in solemn and earnest tone, how this movie deals in 'strong issues', and how they "relate so easily" to Evans's character Syd going through a his break-up. Jeepers - we've all been hurt in relationships, but if I was Syd, I'd do the decent thing and jump out the apartment window. I think these people perhaps need to 'grow up a little and stop partying through their noses.Instead, watch Cloverfield again, and delight as a similar bunch of vapid, conceited, hollow, preening morons get squashed and ripped apart by monsters !Loved Jason Statham's wig though ..
The great thing about this film is that I could easily fast forward through the sections where Chris Evans is throwing a hissy fit or just ranting inanely about the meaning of life.The bad thing is that I had to put up with the always intensely irritating Chris Evans in order to look at the lovely Jessica Biel, the amazingly cute and sexy Kelli Garner and the outrageously luscious Joy Bryant.So these people all have loadsa money and spend their time snorting coke and drinking and smoking various substances. London used to have this thing with Syd, though God knows why as he's unhinged and should be on prescription drugs and/or at anger management sessions. I had the worst feeling that she might actually abandon the flight and go back to Syd at the end. That would have been a nightmare. Isn't Syd with a 'Y' a girl's name? So four out of ten for this piece of garbage. One point each for the ladies and one for the pretty bathroom. Never did like Jason Statham as he reminds me of dire British gangster flicks. I've always disliked Chris Evans and I still do. I'd have a drink to calm down from watching this cack but I'd then be as bad as them.Rant over.
