The Truth About Average Guys (2009) Reviews

• all i can say is wow this is bad

  ya this is pretty bad. i admit i really couldn't sit through the whole thing there was allot of fastforwarding. its basically someones high school project that got on the IMDb. the premise is another recycled hackneyed idea only done poorly. if your doing a comedy on video you also have to have good actors or otherwise its like a porno without the sex and thats what we have here. the lighting is terrible on half the scenes and it looks like they reused locations that are supposed to be different locations lol. the lead girl is supposed some 'super hot babe' but shes not in anyway. some of the lines were pretty lame. i would be embarrassed to say them if i was in this. it is just a bad production in every sense and frankly im amazed it was able to get on the IMDb.

• Fun watching, but serious, one of the worst movies EVER!

  I don't know where all this reviews come from, just watched this movie and must say: One of the worst movies ever! Don't get me wrong, its a nice movie, and the actors really try and Erika Walter is gorgeous, but the script, the lighting, the colors, the choreography, cutting, dramaturgy, casting, production design, closing credits, even the graphic design for the film poster, everything seems more like a high school project. If i would not have read all the positive reviews and was curious what might happen to get them, i would have stopped watching the move after 20min... But: Nice Idea, and with some tweaking the script could become a nice one for a good movie... Maybe this movie is genius and i simply don't get it, but until this is proved i have to stick to the above written! No hard feelings, i love you guys!

• Nice Try But Hmmm Not Enough To Make it Watchable Also Insulting To Retarded People

  I watched this movie because of the comments on IMDb but hmmm... i understand the effort from the actors , i understand the low budget , but the thing with the retarded people is insulting, so the whole movie takes advantage of how retarded people looking funny and makes them to look like clowns in the circus , i loughed with one or 2 scenes but thats all very insulting i think.In my opinion maybe i am wrong on this its not a nice thing to make fun with retarded people.The plot is something we have seen on every movie out there so the conclusion is i give it a 3 because of the absence of everything that makes a movie watchable.Maybe those actors under other circumstances could have made more effort and got the applause's but here no.In my life i have learned how to respect the other people with special needs and to live with and making fun not fun of them.

• Unflinching, unfiltered humor

  This clever comedy is "Sexual Perversity in Chicago" for the millennial set. Like that predecessor, it features raw dialogue about men and women and love and sex, with a challenging modern romance at its core. During the all-guy scenes I felt like someone stumbling upon a secret primitive culture in their native habitat...a place far, far away from the female sphere where its natives try to figure out how to conquer that mysterious land. It's been done before but this film gave its male characters more freedom and more moments dedicated to their unfiltered, atavistic riffs. There's much humor in how these "average guys" attempt to figure out how the navigate the land of Hot Chicks (a female sub-culture that is hilariously skewered in a memorable scene). The story nicely balances the central romantic relationship with relationships among family and friends to provide a deeper well for drawing fresh laughs. It's fun and funny and kept me engaged. There are elements that overly sensitive people may find politically incorrect, but for me they enhance the unflinching, unprocessed style of humor that I like and that this film delivers in abundance.

• Hollywood wishes it had comedies this good.

  I saw TTAAG this weekend at the Trail Dance Film Festival where it kicked ass and took names. I haven't had a movie (intentionally) make me laugh this much in a long time. Ken and Jason were there along with Jason's beautiful fiancé and executive producer Katie and they were all very nice and very humble. If you happen to live near any festival where this movie is screening make sure to check it out, if you aren't then head over to their website and pick up a copy. Actually if you can see it at a festival go buy the DVD anyway, the bonus features alone are worth the money. I know that this film won Best Comedy and Best Actress at Trail Dance, they were also up for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor but I can't for the life of me remember if they won. What I do remember is that even their acceptance speeches were hilarious.
