This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Pretty Good

A Masterpiece!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Although there's a romantic aspect, and although there are some laughs, this is really a drama. This poor schmuck is taken advantage of as he gets 15 minutes of fame he never asked for. He doesn't have much to begin with, and now he's lost even that. It's pretty depressing, to be honest! But it's a good story.

I had high hopes for The Clapper-the premise seemed great and I love Amanda Seyfried and Ed Helms. But half an hour in, I ended up fast forwarding to the end of the film. Helms and Seyfried do a great job and their love story was sweet, but the rest of the film didn't really know what it wanted to be. The cast does a great job, but they can't save this sinking ship.This movie is apparently based on a book, but I'm not interested in reading it after seeing the film.

Like so many WA movies, this one features a haggard, unattractive middle-aged loser who becomes obsessed with a beautiful young woman who looks like she's young enough to be his daughter. And she, incredibly, finds him attractive in return. Really? Are we still doing this in 2018? It was disturbing enough when Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn were teamed up (and he knew it), but 60 years on and Hollywood is still perpetuating the myth that this is normal and okay.Add to that a slew of unlikable characters (Ed Helms must be the most annoying actor next to Will Ferrell) and witless dialogue, and this was about the longest 90 minutes I've ever spent.The movie does have an interesting concept, but an unbelievable love story and awkward casting does it in.

An engaging slightly off-beat romantic comedy that probably delivers more observations about rubbish TV than the love interest. Director Montiel has found an original idea in looking at the life of Eddie Krumble, Ed Helms, who is a professional audience worker (and maybe there are several hundred of these folk in La La land). The love theme running through the movie between Eddie and Judy (a sweet performance from Amanda Seyfried) who is a gas-station attendant has its ups and downs but provides a suitable ending.It was the TV background that I found more entertaining, with a very credible performance from Russell Peters as the talk-show host Stillerman, the way the audiences are manipulated by the on-set producer and intriguingly the 'spontanious' chat between Stillerman and Eddie seemed to be rolling along on the teleprompter. Well worth a look.
