Starring: Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill
Directed by: Phil Lord, Chris Miller
Rating: I Liked It
This week I'm in a bit of a rush, and I'm just going to keep this short and to the point. I wasn't expecting much from this movie at all. I rented it because I was bored, and I wanted something to watch. It will probably be my biggest surprise of 2012. I actually enjoyed this one.
Jonah Hill (who I usually like) and Channing Tatum (who I usually can't stand) play well off one another. The gags in the movie were a little cliche and some of them were over done, but all-in-all, it was funny. The part about Hill's character hooking up with a high school girl was a little creep, but the people writing the movie didn't seem to think so, nor did anyone that was a part of making the movie...or if they did, they kept their mouth shut.
I would definitely recommend this for a movie night at home. It's got good laughs and pretty decent acting all around. There are a couple of cool surprises, too.
This movie also brings up a point I'm a little confused about in general. There are two directors for this film. It's not that uncommon, but that doesn't make it any easier to understand for me. I kind of get it when the two people are brothers (the Wachowski brothers, etc.), but for two people to just direct a movie together. I think that would be difficult, no matter how close you are. It's just a random pondering of mine.
