To me, this movie is perfection.

How sad is this?

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Saw that it had Chris O'Dowd and thought it would be worth seeing. WRONG! As SnoopyStyle6 said in the review "Someone please shoot Chris O'Dowd in the face", I think that's being to generous to both him and his character. Why would he do something as horrible as this, we may never know. His character should have been immediately beaten and his remains should have then been dragged off to jail. There you go, the movie should have been over in less than 30 minutes, because it is completely unrealistic that he would have allowed his so called brother continue to abuse him as he had, and the mother should have been disowned for having been so completely worthless and enabling. I have to believe that the people who claim this movie is funny either don't know what funny is, or are simply deprived of seeing ANY that is truly funny.

This is another comedy about a dysfunctional family and their decidedly absurd relationships. That much-exploited theme, the somewhat unfortunate title "3, 2, 1... Frankie Go Boom," and the negative reviews almost put me off watching this without even realizing that the wonderful Chris O'Dowd and Charlie Hunnam were involved. That Chris could completely erase his Irish accent and modify his usual comedic pacing added to my appreciation of his talent.Anyone complaining that the relationships between the brothers, Frankie & Bruce, and between the sons & their parents were unrealistic or that the situations that arise were absurd can't be serious. Did you really expect something titled "3, 2, 1... Frankie Go Boom" and starring Chris O'Dowd was going to be a dramatic slice of reality?I admit that I am a fan of movies & TV that exaggerate human interactions to ridiculous & absurd levels … things like "Modern Family" or "Arrested Development" or "Episodes" … but usually expect them to produce at most a few chuckles and smiles. Quite often movies or TV shows that attempt to elevate the mundane to the ridiculous fail, but this movie was truly laugh-out-loud hilarious. The story line, the acting, the pacing were all great. I definitely plan to watch this now for a second time and will probably revisit it again in the future.

Frankie goes boom, sometimes , to me , seems too "real" to be funny, but at that same moment , it makes you laugh, ...so, ...hard to describe, It has a real "grittiness" to the humor,...I kept saying to myself, this is not going to be funny"...and then finding myself laughing ...I am on my third watching, so it has my "re watcher" stamp, but still that feeling remains. "franky goes boom' has the ability to make you uncomfortable, it also has the ability to make you laugh... I definitely recommend "franky" as a comedy , but you REALLY need to have a sense of humor--if not , you wont enjoy.It got a 7 out of ten rating , and a re watcher stamp from me .

In this movie everything is stupid, just everything. Is like Lars Von trier's "the idiots", a sum of over the top characters, just trying to forcing out a laugh out of you, but in this movie the characters are not willingly acting like idiots, they are all real idiots, all of them. Is just unbearable to watch... well, unless you like that kind of thing.Is just to stupid, it gets uncomfortable, and this is coming from a guy who absolutely loves airplane, top secret, hot shots, police academy, it's always sunny in Philadelphia, Monty python, and a lot of other movies and shows that from time to time make absolutely no sense and play around with the moronic dialogs, but well, there's to way to do that, a clever one, and "frankie go boom"'s one.
