Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
As a fan of the show I was expecting more of the same -- low brow humour. With relatively low expectations going in, I have to say the movie exceeded my expectations in how bad it was. The story was over the top. I mean the whole party over football thing is great but I would've liked more football in the movie instead of a ridiculous story-line. Was actually expecting the movie to be about Alex Moran's final season at BMS and not about how the goat house had basically turned into a distopia. The only reason I gave this movie a 2 instead of a 1 is because I was a fan of the show and it was nice to see the characters again. But yeah, this movie just stretched everything too far. That's all I have to say, don't waste your time with it, it may actually ruin the show for you.
I was in this movie as a Police Officer and I had a great time. I hope every one gets the chance to see this. It's definitely a funny movie. Adam Sanderish funny.The director actually would stop filming to get an opinion of a Background Actor. You could feel his passion for his work. This is rare.I was a little disappointed that it went straight to online rentals. But, all in all it was worth the wait.I really hope to work with this crew again. I think it was one of the best, most friendly sets I've been on.Also, the main cast was very kind and willing to share advice.Or,a joke.I was actually thrilled while I was watching it.
Listen, I haven't reviewed a movie on here before but I personally loved the humor in this movie so much that I don't feel its fair a few stuck up people are giving this bad reviews. It's obviously a movie (or TV series) that doesn't take itself seriously and with that in mind I found it to be the funniest comedy I've seen that I can remember. I'm also not generally a football fan, not really my thing but when you watch this movie it doesn't seem like a football movie, its packed with silliness, foul language, nudity, brashness and some very straightforward but well placed and unexpected humor. I can see some people thinking the style of humor in this movie is tasteless or immature but to me personally it was speaking to me. It also has an underlying parody aspect of generally overpaid athletes where the main character Thad is bigger than life which I found to be a nicely written character. Overall 10/10 I'm glad I discovered this I'm watching the TV series now.
This never seemed possible, but The Rise of Thadland is an even worse comedy than The Hangover Part II. It is raunchy only for the sake of trying to be funny, it is disgusting only for the sake of attempting to create shock humor, and there just simply isn't the energy in this movie which the television show had to offer.The premise is so straightforward and simple that it gets to be a bore right after Thadland actually becomes a thing. Moran needs to win over Thad for him to buy the goathouse so it doesn't get taken away for them. Thad's request is simple: throw an awesome party for him and he'll put up enough money to win the goathouse over in the auction. The bulk of the movie is this party Moran agrees to throw, making most of the humor in the movie drug-related. We watch people trip out on drugs for the comedy, which ends up being a bore and not funny at all. Also, it is clear which part of the movie has an extended nc-17 clip in the bonus features, and it is too disgusting to imagine how the nc-17 version would have looked and not funny at all.Of course Alan Ritchson as Thad shines as the star of the movie, though he is not the protagonist. He delivers the same goof ball we are all fond of in the television show, but the script just didn't allow him to shine AS MUCH as he did in the television series. The best moments focus around him, but sadly there are less than a handful of these moments.There is no way that anything released in 2016 will be as terrible as this film.1.0/4.0
