I love this movie so much

Admirable film.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Except that it takes a little too long and is slow to start, the only significant problem with this movie is that it is very confined to the personal trainer world. If you don't know any of these people, you won't get the movie, it will seem boring and pointless.But, if you know at least one personal trainer, this movie gives an interesting and decently executed look into their world. You'll recognize a lot of behavior of personal trainers in the actions of Guy Pearce and Cobie Smulders. Yes, it's not very funny, but that is also the point. But, it has funny moments, again, this being the point.Other than that, you can see an interesting story about how different people influence each other's lives in surprising ways and also how people can act very wrong towards one another for prejudices, wrong assumptions and similar silly, internal, things.

"Results" is one of those tedious, quirky indie flicks with no in-built audience. Worse still, I had a fear it was intended as a comedy, and IMDb confirms this. It's not enough to say that there are no laughs in the movie. There's no humour. Nothing connects as though it is supposed to be funny. It's like another recent movie, "Drinking Buddies". That too was about people talking and doing boring things together, none of it of any interest to the viewer. You have to be careful about the word "weird" when describing something you don't like. A lot of weird movies are fascinating: most of David Lynch's or Cronenberg's repertoire, for example. "Results" and "Drinking Buddies" are not weird in themselves. It is, however, weird that their makers would expect anyone would want to watch them. Seeing a group of people enjoy this movie would be as bizarre as having a group of people stare enthralled at a hole in the wall for seven hours.

Review: I thought that I would give this movie a chance because I like Guy Pearce's movie and now that I've watched it, I'm in two minds with the end result. Its about a man called Danny (Kevin Corrigan) who becomes rich after inheriting money from his mother and he goes to his local gym to become fit and be able to take a punch. After talking to the gym owner Trevor (Guy Pearce) he is given a personal gymnast, Kat (Cobie Smulders) who goes to his house to put him through some intense training. After a while, the somewhat lonely and depressed Danny, falls for Kat but her professionalism and gruesome attitude, false her to cancel the sessions. While all this is going on, Trevor is planning to expand his gym business by opening another branch but Danny threatens to sue, because of Kats behaviour. After an intense confrontation between Danny and Trevor, they soon become close friends but once Danny finds out that Trevor is in love with Kat as well, a love triangle emerges and there relationships between each other become questionable. Personally I thought that it was a pointless movie but it's light hearted fun without much depth. Everyone put in a good performance and it was good to see a comedic side to Guy Pearce but Kevin Corrigan's acting was a bit weird. I didn't really see the point of Giovanni Ribisi's character, who played the lawyer with not that many lines and the movie seemed to drift into a love story which was a bit of a let down. Anyway, it's a watchable movie with a few enjoyable moments but I won't be watching it again anytime soon. Average!Round-Up: Guy Pearce, 47, starred in over 400 episodes of Neighbours and 18 episodes of Home & Away before taking the lead in the movie Flynn in 1993. He then starred as Felicia in the Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which was an outstanding performance and through 1993 - 1996 he starred in the TV series Snowy River. In 1997 he came back to the big screen with another brilliant performance in L.A. Confidential and after a few small movies, he took the lead in Memento in 2000. After a couple of years break he took the lead in the Count of Monte Carlo alongside Jim Caviesel and the disappointing Time Machine and I was impressed with his role in the Proposition in 2005. He then seemed to have gone under the radar with some low budget movies, until 2008 when he hit the big time with movies like Fragments, Traitor, Bedtime Stories and the award winning Hurt Locker. Since then he has become a bankable star with his roles in The King's Speech, Lockout, Lawless, Prometheus, and Ironman 3 and he has put in great performances in small budget movies like the great Animal Kingdom, the Rover, the Road, Justice and 33 Postcards. I personally rate him as an actor because he has proved that he can cover any genre. He does seem a bit distance and moody in a lot of his movies but his performances are always top form. Although he has starred in big movies through his career, he is one of the lucky actors that have managed to stay out of the tabloids so he can concentrate on giving a top performance in all of his movies. Anyway, this movie was directed by Andrew Bujalski whose only made 7 low budget movies in his career. You can tell that he had a small budget to make this movie but he did have some too class actors to work with, so he could have spent some more time on making the script a bit more meaningful. I recommend this movie to people who are into their comedy/drama movies about a rich man who goes to the gym to get fit and ends up falling in love with his trainer. 3/10

I'll kick off by saying any film with the Anglo-Australian actor Guy Pearce in it will always draw me toward watching. He's that rarest of things - an actor who can act. An actor who is a bona fide film star. A bone fide film star who has achieved his status by rejecting Hollywood. In short, hats off to Guy Pearce.This film is a slow burn. Indeed, it's a bit of a tiresome slow burn. Contrary to most films which move at this slow a speed but which make sure they reveal some depth to the characters, we come to learn less about the characters in this movie as it progresses. Or, rather, and perhaps more accurately, we care less. Their 'inner turmoil' and 'hurting' are all self-inflcited and, were we to meet people like this in real life, we may very well be tempted to give them a kick in the behookey and tell them to get a grip.The ridiculously named Cobie Smulders plays the ridiculously named 'Kat'. She's a fitness instructor who possesses an excellent physical appearance but a sour and bitter emotional one. She works for Trevor (Pearce). She's also his ex-lover who becomes his lover again. That's what 104 minutes of this film tells us. Not much else that interests us happens.In the middle of this is Danny (Kevin Corrigan) a 'got-rich-quick' pot smoking no mark of a man. The plot stumbles for a short time around a flash in the pan sexual contact between Kat and Danny. It was never going to be interesting and resulted in exactly that.In addition, there's some Soviet weight-lifting guy, Grigory (Anthony Michael Hall - who was great in Aftermath [2013]), who appears to have nothing to do with anything which comes before his appearance in this movie, and precisely zero to do with all that follows it. In short, the script is rambling and was clearly written from the point of view 'Hey, we got nothing to lose'. And, doggedly, it stays on that road - chasing after imaginary shadows with nothing to lose because there was nothing there to start with. The direction is average. The cinematography sufficient. Locations anonymous. Supporting cast immediately forgettable.So, what are we left with? We're back where I started - Guy Pearce. And it's to his credit that this film keeps the viewer watching from the beginning to the end. Because he's the talent here. He adds the clever guitar solo to a dull, lacking in melody B-side of a movie.6 out of 10 - thanks Guy.
