Someone Marry Barry (2014) Reviews

• Someone Marry Barry is hilarious!

  madroseproductions2014-02-11

  This is just a straight up fun film. Tyler Labine and Lucy Punch together are amazing. They keep you laughing the entire time. If you need a laugh go this this immediately! Damon Wayans Jr., Thomas Middleditch, and Hayes McArthur also put together solid supporting roles. Ed Helms (of Hangover fame and the TV show The Office) had a very funny cameo. What makes this comedy different and special is the endearing love story. When you push aside all of the inappropriateness and lewd behavior, Barry and Mel are very cute together and that comes out in their strong performances. It is a take on the old saying, "there's someone for everyone". Very very fun film. A must see.

• Very trashy but entertaining comedy

  I see there aren't many reviews for this movie yet. Therefore I should let you know that this is a funny but very crude comedy. Definitely not for the kids. You don't even need to be a prude to be offended by this; I think any normal person probably *should* be offended by the antics of Barry, a chubby party animal, and his socially inappropriate girlfriend Mia, played by Lucy Punch. Tyler Labine handles the lead role with confidence, and whose career looks ready to blast off. Lucy Punch is also very effective as Barry's partner in crime. The film loses a lot of steam in the second half. But there's a steady drumbeat of funny situations to keep you entertained, sort of like watching The Simpsons. Have fun.

  Tyler Labine has always been a hot spot for me…hot, so very hot…so, frankly, even in his worst movies, he still brings a charm of someone who wants to be there, does his best and always entertains me. Add his charisma and undeniable likability and humor, the always wonderful Damon Wayans Jr (whom I've loved since the criminally cut short Happy Endings show) and the very funny Thomas Middleditch, you have one cute movie. Completely predictable and clichéd, the crude to a fault Someone Marry Barry is still hilarious at points and has solid performances all-around. It's not trying to be anything it's not and never takes itself too seriously, even when it veers into familiar, sitcom-gone-dramatic territory. For fans of both THAT ANNOYING FRIEND genre and Tyler Labine films, you'll sink in and enjoy your stay-at-home-movie-night.

• Do you feel lucky, twunt?

  Another evening browsing the unknowns on Sky Movies and I find my way to this little gem. I knew nothing about it beforehand and had no idea what to expect - having been sorely let down by previous American comedies of recent years I really wasn't expecting anything to enjoy. Some highlights - The taxi ride from the restaurant, it was well written and introduced 'twunt' to my vocabulary -and "Chugga Chugga Chugga Choo Choo" !! It's not laugh out loud all the way through and certainly not completely 'gross-out' as advertised. But it is a very real kind of humour that most people do as part of everyday life, or think about at least - "What do you think I do in the bathroom every morning - I masturbate for an hour with your electric tooth brush - it's more powerful than mine!" - from the main female character! Lucy Punch is the highlight of the film for me, she has the style and flow of a slapstick actress who isn't afraid to push the boat with a distinct British comedic feel - why does she remind me of a female Simon Pegg?! Besides the main storyline of Barry Burke and Melanie Miller we see the love lives or lack of them from Barry's friends and although not necessary to see, it does add a fresh level to the movie which is nice to see - it also makes for some very funny situational comedy when they go away together. It does have a low production quality which is a shame as I feel a bigger budget would have done this film better. Yet, the script is very good and there are some VERY funny moments in there, especially the dynamics between the two main characters and their 'better living' friends. If you've got nothing else to watch and you're looking for a good comedy film that is different from the rest, then you can't go wrong with this.

• Haven't laughed so hard for a long time!

  This movie kept us laughing though the whole thing! We were looking forward to seeing Labine after falling in love with Tucker and Dale vs Evil and were not disappointed. I think we all have a "Barry" in our life so it was easy to relate to and fall in love with the character. It was raunchy but so funny, comic timing by Labine and cast was perfect! Punch was hilarious and there were some great cameos. Typical,predictable storyline, but the acting and comedy was superb! We truly enjoyed the movie and were disappointed that it did not get better reviews. Common reviewers, it is what it is! Pure comedy genius :) Put the kids to bed and watch!
