The Out-Laws

There a few laughs in the movie, I gotta give it that. But for the most part this movie is stupid, cliche and down right annoying. Adam Divine is a frigging train wreck, his delivery of the dialogue is so over the top it's hard to stomach. His screaming like a baby is neither funny or any way entertaining and there is way, way too much of it. The thing is, with some better casting and better direction it could have been a great movie. Nina Dobrev is the exception, she's pretty much makes it all work. Ellen Barkin and Pearce Brosnen have a pretty good pedigree but seem miscast and are not believable. How we made to the end, I don't know.

I gave this comedy a chance because of the great casting with Pierce Brosnan, Ellen Barkin, Nina Dobrev and Michael Rooker, but even they couldn't save this mess. The chemistry between Dobrev and Devine wasn't convincing, mainly because Devine can't really act. Unless you're a fan of Adam Devine and Blake Anderson and their infantile humor in Workaholics, you probably will cringe and eyeroll your way through the lame comedy, which is pretty much spot on with the Workaholics series. It feels like a bunch of failed SNL sketches. The entire writing is cliched and predictable, and the directing does nothing to elevate the already irritating comedy and generic story. Had they cast someone actually funny, like a Kevin Hart, this would've been more enjoyable. If you're into snot-nose barf-up comedy, this may be for you, and all the pre-teens out there, but not for mentally stable and mature audiences. The bogus 10/10 reviews are funnier.

Unfortunately I can not think of a single good thing to say about this movie. It's bad. Really, really bad. The script is terrible. I assume the actors only did this to pay off a debt. Adam Devine is easily the worst lead actor in cinematic history, so I hope he rakes in the Razzie Awards. Well deserved.

Adam Sandler produced this train wreck, so I didn't have high expectations in the first place. Those expectations were lowered almost immediately. Not even Pierce Brosnan could save this terrible movie.

If you have the "outlaw" in-laws holding a gun to your head, then sure, watch it. But if you a sock drawer that needs sorting or drying paint that needs watching, do that instead.

This is one of those comedies where you only watch it because you stumbled onto it on Netflix. You aren't even looking forward to watching it but you have a 90 minutes to kill. You watch it, get mildly entertained, finish it and forget about it. You enjoy your time with it but move on.

That being said it wasn't bad at all. The main actor just seems to have no range at all. I like him, but he plays the same role in every film or tv show he is in. The other actors were pretty funny especially Pierce Brosnan. It was refreshing to see him in a goofball comedy.

Just another I have some time to kill so let's watch it movie.

I've never been a big fan of Adam, but Pierce/Ellen/Richard and Julie as the parents?! That meal scene alone was hilarious and worth the watch. Orgies?! How could you not cackle at Julie's character taking about attending those when she was younger? And I just love those four anyway. How fun to see Julie on screen again! I wish they would have all gotten more screen time though.

Same with Dean. He's outrageous and should have been utilized to a larger degree.

The main couple were fine, but everyone else stole the limelight.

I watch movies for entertainment. I'm not one to analyze them. Was I entertained? Yes. I enjoyed it.
