ليلة الهواة

This was actually good. One of those funny movies. I really enjoyed this.

Awful. Awful. Awful. Whatever you are hoping to gain by watching this movie, you will be disappointed - unless of course you want to be angry at everyone responsible for this mess.

Bad story, bad acting. Kinda like a train wreck that you can't look away from, but wish I had turned it off way sooner. Don't waste your time.

Wasnt expecting much from this movie especially since I'd never heard of it until I was browsing through Amazon prime but I was surprised at how entertaining it was, its not gonna be up there with comedies like super bad or the hangover but it has its moments. Jason biggs is funny if course he will always be jim from American pie especially when making movies like these but all in all a good way to spend a few hours

Is the movie a great film that you will remember? Of course not. It is a raunchy, late night comedy with some laughs and tries to incorporate some heart felt scenes. However, the movie delivers on its promise of a popcorn, low budget comedy. So the 1 and 2 star ratings are not deserved. A great movie to put on when you are trying to fall asleep, wants something on while working from home or just want to pass the time on a rainy day. One thing that came to my mind was how the quick sword to fame can be a double edge for some actors. Leo crushed it in Gilbert Grape and Basketball Diaries and is now an A-lister. Jason Biggs rocketed to fame in American Pie and as never been able to shake the lovable loser character.

This is a textbook example of how Hollywood can screw up a really good story. This had the opportunity to be funny and entertaining and even touching. Unfortunately it didn't meet any of those goals. I was hoping that we'd get a story that played out over a few weeks and let the characters grow into people the cared about. Instead we got a story crammed into a single jumbled night and tied everything up with a crappy bow at the end. The entire thing was just disappointing and flat. The few attempts at humor were either gross or cringe inducing in their awkwardness. It didn't elicit a chuckle, much less any actual laughter. As another reviewer stated, it wasn't a bad movie - it just wasn't a good movie either.

I was really interested in this movie because i really like Jason Biggs, i think the guy is genuinely funny and Sean William Scott is not the only main star of the American Pie Franchise. So yes his name meant something for me. Also i happen to know a bit about this "industry" showed in the movie i tough it would be funny to see what the writer and director had in store for the movie, especially considering the label "based on a true story". I would say based on what i saw in reality some points of the movie are really stretched from reality but some other points are actually truthful. Some of the exaggeration are meant as jokes and some hit it while others really missed the point. I think the movie is full of good ideas, some nicely done while others completely miss there target. This had the potential to be another of those "awesome crazy nights" movies i like so much in the vein of "Superbad, Take me Home Tonight, 21 and Over etc", but in the end it lacked the juice to pull it off. Yet its still entertaining and worth a watch, just not gonna become a classic...

The whole point of a comedy is to make you laugh. This film doesn't. Instead they have created a nasty, cynical timid teenage boy's wet dream of movie. A distinct lack of charm, warmth or likability in the characters. Lazy, sloppy writing acted out by people who really should know better, even if they do have less than stellar careers, awful direction, desperate editing. God knows what those responsible thought they were making, although my guess is they didn't care. One of the few films I couldn't sit the whole way through and gave up around after about an hour. The one star goes to the editor of the trailer btw

If this movie was made in the early 2000 when you didn't have internet anywhere but your desktop and didn't it will be a hit, or at least it will go better with the critics and the box office, but it didn't. It has "sparks" or "glimpses" of the first American Pie humor, mostly because some sort of remembrance gets into your head when you see Jason Biggs as a lead, but it fails in deliver what is supposed, believing that a young American professional (architect) adult, married, expecting his firstborn knows NOTHING of bondage, prostitutes, bachelor parties and it's in a general picture an absurdly naive "whiteboy" in an internet era doesn't fall for it at all. The whole movie runs on the premises that people don't "google" everything they don't know. Is not the worst movie if you pretend this was made right after the American Pie (original) movie and not in 2016.
