Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Cooper (Chris Klein) is a struggling actor spending his time chasing women. His younger brother Ed (Brendan Fehr) is a successful ad exec and video enthusiast until one day he finds his girlfriend in bed with another guy making a sex video.This is definitely a broad inappropriate comedy in the vein of American Pie. Some jokes worked, but most just flopped badly. The intercuts with old videos just don't work. They aren't funny and way too amateurish. Chris Klein and Brendan Fehr are fine actors, but they're both strictly straight man. Chris is being asked to be the funny man of the duo, and he doesn't fit. Brendan Fehr is playing his role too uptight. That's not funny either.

I didn't expect anything much from this movie but the trailer look pretty good and I love this kind of genre of movie, all that leads me to watch it. And despite I do get some laugh I did quite enjoy it as much as I could.Brief: Ed the lonely man was dump a year earlier and never was able to get over it; and now his boss gives him an ultimatum - if he could not come up with brilliant ad campaign his ass is history. He was given the time of two day to do so unfortunately his brother have other agenda for him this weekend, to get Ed to finally get laid and move on.Okay, I didn't find the film to be terrible or anything but I wish they should have polish the script a little more and add something new to the movie of this type. The story is same old as one would have known. The good thing about the movie is real life footages, which help the movie in great way with originality and humor.The casting of the movie seem to be the best part of the movie with Brendan Fehr as little loser kind of brother and Chris Klein as a womanizer elder brother, both of them give a fairly good acting but it seem Chris might have gone over board with his enthusiasm. And the women in the movie aren't that bad looking.Advise: If you do not like toilet humor, I wouldn't advise you to see it. And if you do, you probably know that these movies mostly involve sex and nothing else, therefore I will not talk about how were the directing, lighting, and cinematography etc. Just tried to relax and enjoy the movie lightly.Reason To Watch: Series of Real Life Footage, Brendan Make Pretty Convincing Loser.Reason Not To: Not As Funny As It Suppose To Be, The Story Ain't That Good.Recommendation: Yes, But Only Worth Enough For If It On Cable Itself.Rating: 5.5/10 (Grade: D+).Rate Y/N After Read.

This movie should be judged for what it is and not what it isn't. This movie is just for fun nothing more. A little slow in the beginning but very funny once it gets up to speed. I'm not a big fan of crude movies like the American Pie series but this one I liked. That Chris Klein is my new best buddy. He is one naturally funny guy. I'll be on the lookout for any more work of his. I thought the photography was great. The acting was good. Directing was good. I don't have a clue what the budget was for this movie but from what I can see it was well financed. The uncensored "funniest video" clips are well placed throughout and are really funny even though I've seen most of them before. Grab a buddy and go see it!

This movie, as was to be expected isn't really great. Even though it's just another comedy focussing on sex jokes it doesn't even make it in that category.I don't think it should be compared to American Pie, it's jokes just aren't funny, at all. It's full of homevideo shots of people getting slapped in the face etc. that have to do with the story. It didn't help that once the movie started with a montage of some of these clips 50% of the audience behind me started laughing hysterically. I don't think I've ever heard people laughing so hard. I'm seriously wondering if they were paid to be there.They didn't make the experience more enjoyable though, although it did make me smile sometimes when ten people behind me were kicking the ground every time someone toppled over. It was really ridiculous.Anyway, I didn't expect much out of 'The Long Weekend' and I viewed it the way it wants to be viewed, a simple sex comedy. But I still think it's not worth watching it. Or at least paying to go see it at the movies. Of course I saw it at a sneak preview so I can honestly say I didn't know what I was in for.If you're gonna watch it, make sure you're extremely bored and don't have anything else to do, I guess it can be entertaining under those circumstances.
