How sad is this?
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
This film tells the story of two employee in a organic food store, who are broke but have dreams beyond their means. They steal money from three shop and even from a drug dealer. Hence, they get into huge trouble."Take the 10" seems promising from the trailer, but the initial thirty minutes or so falls a little flat. Mainly it is because the jokes are to juvenile and stupid, such as the Asian woman Patty making contorted faces while saying something really silly. Fortunately, the second half of the film is better, as it is more funny in a grown up way. Overall, it is alright to kill time, but don't have high hopes on it.
Another disappointment from Netflix. As another review said, this is silliness compounded with a lot of homosexual unfunny jokes. When I was a boy, boys did not joke around about being gay all the time - if ever. There would be lines on a sports field for example, but not like these boys today or at least in this movie. And all the male characters look as if you could have them anyway for not too much persuasion. Their clothes and the way they walk and everything.As for the plot, it is even dumber. Ripping off drug dealers etc. and not seeming to feel any danger whatsoever. "Big Time" dealers who leave strangers in their bathroom where their stash is hidden and not even noticing it is gone? And the teasing the white kid gives to the Asian one is so homoerotic you know they would do each other if either one had the nerve to just go for it. The same goes for the Tony kid and his older brother. You just get the feeling they suck each other off. The whole thing about going to Brazil? What fantasy awaits there I wonder? And on and on. I didn't wait till the end to switch channels. The only obvious thing missing was sex. For example, why didn't Tony bang the gangster's girl when he had the chance? Probably because we saw the real him at the disco when they did "moon rocks."
This movie is garbage. Another review said something about how this will probably play well with the Stoner crowd. Just wanted to say: heck no, this certainly doesn't represent me or any stoner I know. Hollywood is such a shame these days. Tons of good actors and actresses, great work on visuals and scenery, but apparently not a single producer left wants to hire anything but the oldest tired hacks, or total space cases. Awful and out of touch. How do they spend so much producing these movies without bothering to hire decent story writers? Who watches these things? I don't get it. This is right up there with every other tired movie out there right now in terms of horrible.
I actually reactivated my account to post this review. While this movie is by no means a thinker's movie, I found it to be a very fun watch! Don't listen to these other reviews and give it a try - you won't be sorry. For people who can enjoy movies like the Hangover at the right times, give this one a go. I stumbled onto this movie on Netflix right when it was put up, and got hooked watching it. The narrative is similar to Crash in that its a story that is told in pieces, only to be slowly pieced together as the movie goes on. However, the plot is similar to Harold and Kumar. Lots of funny characters, with actors that put on a genuinely enjoyable performance. Enjoy the surprises!Definitely would recommend!
