Movie 43

Personally find it entertaining. Easy to watch. If you take out the crappy base storyline with the 3 twits it's OK. I don't think people realise the point of this film. It's just a sketch movie. It's not meant to be a masterpiece. Millions of people watch sketches like this on YouTube everyday but may a movie well that's just ridiculous, calm down. It's way better than south park which is just swearing angry kids and sex.

The first time I tried watching this movie, I couldn't get past the first segment and stopped watching. Then one night, nothing was on, so I thought I would give this movie a second chance. I'm glad I did. Most of the segments are hilarious! A couple of them were not. "Kids in machines" for example. The two final segments, "Basketball" and "Beezle the cat" were great! If you enjoy twisted humor and are not easily offended, you will enjoy it. If you are "Woke" or very PC, you won't like it, and I recommend you skip it.

I can't understand why this movie has such a low rating. It was so funny from start to finish and maybe even a little cringe. I stumbled across this on Netflix and glad I did. Even the girlfriend enjoyed the humor.

Idk how this got such low reviews. It's not a great movie, and it wasn't trying to be.

If you like random comedy: this is a good one. To be fair, it's not a gem, but well worth the time. Definitely will get a laugh or two. Also, getta see Hugh Jackman teabag his own food. 😂

Movie 43 (2013)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

The trailer to this thing promises that once you've seen it you'll never forget it and that's certainly true. In case you haven't heard, MOVIE 43 is a bunch of small skits with A-list talent that tries to shock and gross you out. This includes a story about a man with testicles on his neck, a mom and dad who make out with their son, a dirty game of truth or dare and countless more idiotic ones. There's no doubt that this film is in very bad taste but it tells you that before you buy your ticket. I know many absolutely hate this movie but I must admit that it made me laugh quite a bit. As with most movies that tell separate stories, this here is incredibly uneven and a lot of this is due to different directors doing stories but it also happens because the stories themselves are quite different in terms of how good they actually are. There are some (the girl's period) that just flame out before they get started but there are others that are just simply funny because you can't believe they went there. Plus, you get Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet kicking things off in a story you just wouldn't expect to see them doing. That there is rather funny. You can check out the cast listing to see how many big names they were able to get for this thing and it's rather incredible considering what the film is. Still, there's no way around the fact that only about 50% of the jokes actually work, which is why I can't give the film a higher rating. With that said, I think if you like really dark comedy that crosses the lines of taste then you're at least going to laugh some here. The film certainly isn't perfect but I think it offers enough to make it worth viewing.
