How to Be a Man

Wow. I totally loved this film!

I guess it depends which side of the tracks you were born on, as to whether you will appreciate and truly understand the meaning of this film. I can only guess that all the negative reviewers are woke snowflakes, who live in their intellectual and superior minds all day, but have never experienced the rough and tumble of real life. The main character is experiencing an existential crisis, which is why his behaviour may seem weird and not funny at all. If you like watching shows like South Park, you will probably like and understand this film. I highly recommend it.

Very heartwarming movie with a good amount of laughs thrown in. It deals with a former stand up comedian with a pregnant wife coming to terms with his mortality after getting diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. He sets out to make videos showing his future son how to be a man but finds out he might not know as much as he originally thought.

Gavin McInnes seems to have the same problem as Robert DeNiro. By wanting to be a businessman, betting on as many horses as possible, his audience can't remember when was the last time he came up with good material. Whilst playing with the subject of 'older guy trying to make a point', the viewer is submitted to a wafer-thin script & very poor execution. The deadpan reactions of the main character simply aren't funny enough and so called embarrassing situations are too scripted and badly acted to get a reaction. Maybe some millennials and neo-con former-hipsters will appreciate the obvious irony, but I would steer everyone away from this dud.

Proud of your boy I'll make you proud of your boy Believe me, bad as I've been, Ma You're in for a pleasant surprise

I've wasted time I've wasted me So say I'm slow for my age A late bloomer, Okay, I agree

That I've been one rotten kid Some son, some pride and some joy But I'll get over these lousing' up Messin' up, screwing' up times

You'll see, Ma, now comes the better part Someone's gonna make good Cross his stupid heart Make good and finally make you Proud of your boy

Tell me that I've been a louse and loafer You won't get a fight here, no ma'am Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good But that couldn't be all that I am

Water flows under the bridge Let it pass, let it go There's no good reason that you should believe me Not yet, I know, but

Someday and soon I'll make you proud of your boy Though I can't make myself taller Or smarter or handsome or wise

I'll do my best, what else can I do ? Since I wasn't born perfect like Dad or you Mom, I will try to Try hard to make you Proud of your boy

If you are familiar with Gavin McInnes you will probably love this movie as it's consistent with his sense of humour. If you aren't familiar with him: keep an open mind. I think a lot of us can relate to both main characters, as we've all been student/master in some aspect of our lives. If you find this movie unfunny there's a strong chance you yourself are a terrible bore.
