Bar Fight!

Good movie!

I feel like the events and key moments for this film weren't well planned or executed. There were some surprising scenes once in a while, but there just wasn't enough excitement in them and when there was, it quickly faded out. On one minute I was happy that something happened and then the next minute it gets taken away. Kinda upsetting. A few songs in between scenes would have made a huge difference, but instead there were waaay too many silent scenes that weren't even interesting. A good soundtrack would have set the tone for the film and given more emotion to it. It's a pitty though, cause the plot seemed kinda fun and most actors are great. It just really lacks some action and more interesting characters. For a comedy movie, there should really be some funny/happy scenes. I didn't come close to laughing once.

People who dismiss this effort must be getting their laughs somewhere other than either film or tv because ... where are they? Where HAVE all the comedies gone? But I suspect those folks don't laugh a lot -- in general. This is a good-natured buddy movie without major surprises and some cheeful cameos by a friendly ensemble. To be fair, there is a "best friend" so lacking in charm it made spotting the gender of the author a bit too easy. But other than that, it's may not be cinema fare, but it is a streaming snack well worth enjoying. She is just as delightful as in the Brooklyn Nine-Nine character that made her such a broadcast favourite. He is a litte too low-energy at times, and his character could have benefited from a few more actual zingers. But hey. I was starving and this briefly fed me. So I give thanks and laughter in return.

Bar fight! It isn't the best film ever made, but it's not the worst, either. The film follows a couple that has recently split up. While the breakup is smooth, they end up fighting over who gets to keep going to their favorite bar. In order to decide who can keep going to the bar, the pair play some quirky games, and you get the feeling they may not be over each other after all. Or are they? And it's Christmas for some reason. Anyway, I didn't recognize any of the actors except Melissa Fumero from Brooklyn 99. But I thought they did okay with what they were given. Personally, these types of movies are 50/50, and I thought that this one was okay.

This movie plays ike a National Lampoon film (after they made all the good ones and started making trash with the NL name on them) only updated to today's lingo. Actually it's a level above those NL movies, but not by much. The characters are all fast talking people making silly predictable jokes that arent actually especially funny. Throw in some dumb humor like the one about plastic straws and you can anticipate every line in the film. It's competently, if inexpensively, made and the acting is fine. The movie's downfall is the script which just isnt all that funny. It's like a facsimile of a comedy written by someone who isn't all that talented and only knows comedy from other movies they've seen. Byt the time the first third is done, you will be either bored or annoyed. There is nothing new or original in it. If you want some background noise from a movie that sounds like every other movie in this genre then go for it.

Um yeah ok, 18 minutes in this became stupid officially. This movie doesn't soar but it tries to. Rachel Bloom has become massively oversized since that show about the Crazy Ex-Girl Friend. You can tell it's going to be a chore to watch. Here's what you do. You just either turn up to the bar whenever you want, or you don't. It's pretty simple. Since he found the bar it should be his and as a lawyer she should acknowledge that fact. Anyway back to the "review". The movie is what it is. It's light hearted. It tries to be quirky and different. It could be enjoyable in the right light of day. The biggest issue is that is starts out with a breakup in which nobody fights. So we're in fantasy land right off the bat. And there just isn't enough material to have a whole movie based on who gets a bar. Also the black guy has the most weird haircut. It's just plain stupid looking hair. Ultimately the thing about this film is that it's a breakup movie and that's never something to get excited about. It's a downer of a film and I'm calling it a 3/10.
