The Out-Laws

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 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.

It is what it is. Brilliant, hell no. Good, yes. Wjat I enjoyed the most is Pierce joked about Bond.

Classic Adam Sandler's comedy film. It's ridiculous yet funny. Sonce Sandler is way too old to play leading role, he got a new blood tool over, Adam Devine. Devine used his cheerful stupid but smart characteristic well.

Nina Dobrev was an eye candy.

Pierce Brosnan and Ellen Barkin worked well acting-wise but I don't see good chemistry. It's like watching Brosnancs friend-zone invite to a wedding party.

Richard Kind and Julie Hagerty were spot on. They are so seasoned that they make you smile everytime they have screen time.

The biggest surprise and very funny act is Michael Rooker. Known as villains in most of his movies, he played bumbling FBI agent like a pro comedian. It's like he embodied Peter Seller's Pink Phanter.

The only problem is, as commonly found in a feel good comedy movie, The Out-Laws is not memorable. It's a movie you put on the cable channel again and again. If you jave Netflix subscription, watch it. If not, it's not to die for.

This movie was definitely not the best of 2023, not close to the best comedies out there, but it was enjoyable. This is a perfect family movie. No nudity or anything like that.

A good movie these days is a rare thing, especially comedies.

Its obviously low budget but that's why I rated it only a 6. A lot of room for improvement here and a bit goofy. But it kept me entertained all the way through, and that's what matters.

There's just one issue which I don't get it, maybe a plot hole towards the end, I don't want to give spoilers but that didn't make sense. Otherwise very good comedy. But I guess sometimes you just have to realize its a movie, just to have fun, and not think so seriously about it.

Acting was alright, pace was fantastic, never a dull moment.

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.
