This movie was so good! I thought it was solidly entertaining all the way through, touching and funny, I don't understand the mediocre rating to be honest. I feel like a lot of comedies use stock character archetypes but Martin was relatable, and everyone had believable motivations. Idk, I liked it!
Better than expected
This wasn't bad. It's a basic premise that they manage to stretch out into a full length movie. Parts of it could have been left out and certain characters felt like filler but overall it was an entertaining film.
Hirsch and Simmons were fine but the movie wasn't great. Rarely funny and sometimes predictable, this is mercifully short at just over 80 minutes.
Movie was half fun half boring.
Emile Hirsch is a clone of Jack Black, looks and talks just like him, even got his hair.

I've got no explanation for the low rating overall. Maybe because it's not the cliche happy ending that you start the movie thinking it might be going. Maybe because it's not the crime drama some people might have expected from the trailer. Maybe it's a story that the male bonding isn't the drunk, strippers, hooker, debauchery stereotypes most male bonding movies have.
That being said it is funny, a touch silly, but all in all good fun. There's also the heart-felt, male bonding that is unexpected, at least how the story plays out. Someone said cliche, but it's not how I would describe it. More rom-com without the rom.
