Bar Fight!

Bar fight! It isn't the best film ever made, but it's not the worst, either. The film follows a couple that has recently split up. While the breakup is smooth, they end up fighting over who gets to keep going to their favorite bar. In order to decide who can keep going to the bar, the pair play some quirky games, and you get the feeling they may not be over each other after all. Or are they? And it's Christmas for some reason. Anyway, I didn't recognize any of the actors except Melissa Fumero from Brooklyn 99. But I thought they did okay with what they were given. Personally, these types of movies are 50/50, and I thought that this one was okay.

It was not my choice to watch this movie, my poor sweet, not cinematically-choosy, boyfriend selected it. I was on-board at first solely due to my love and professional respect for Rachel Bloom and Melissa Fumero. However, the more time I spent "watching" (better said, "enduring") this film, the sadder I felt for these two underrated talents. They should not be agreeing to such genuinely trivial, D-List projects that are so beneath their talents. Albeit you don't every day book a "Brooklyn 99" or "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" as those were needles in the hay stacks; however, standards should have been set. There was not a single original thought or line throughout this entire film. I also never once even had a silly chuckle. It was a completely sub-par, novice, straight to streaming film that nobody really should waste their time on. There are better bad films out there to pass the time on.

This film lacks good acting performances, humour and wit. Personally I cant find anything good to say about this film - maybe the colour palette of the whole film was quite pleasant. The main ex-couple had no chemistry, most of the jokes repeat themselves, side characters and their lines are annoying and extremely unnatural and the story is quite predictable. The whole film felt super staged and more like an episode of a sitcom. And eventhough I like Melissa Fumero in Brooklyn 99, this role just didn´t suit her. I must admit I struggled to get to the end of "Bar Fight", eventhough the runtime is quite short.

This has got to be one of the most boring "comedies" I've seen in a long time. The jokes, what few there were, were lame. The chemistry between the characters was nonexistent. This might have made an ok 30 minute TV show, but there is no way it should have ever been made into a full, feature-length film. As a matter of fact, the whole issue with "whose bar it is" could have been solved really simply if they'd both just ignored each other or even just stayed on opposite ends.

What there two ever saw in each other in the first place - the whole, overdone overweight, frumpy, "every-man" scores beautiful, out-of-his-league girl notwithstanding - they have nothing at all in common. That they broke up without even a single cross word between them... yeah. No. Then you bring in the girl's best-friend. She has got to be the most annoying, obnoxious, crass person alive. Again... nothing in common between her and Melissa (the main girl), either.

Of course, the required reading was there... both the main guy and the best friend's husband are portrayed as the perfect "house husbands" - within the first five minutes, Melissa literally says that exact thing about Luka, her ex-boyfriend. When Luka tells the annoying best friend that she is, in fact, mean, she cuts him off and asks if he's going to call her "opinionated," "bold," "overbearing" because of course, he's sexist. When Melissa is walking back to her car, Luka asks her if she wants him to walk with her - you know, as a gentleman to make sure that she gets there safely - she looks at him in disgust and declares "sexist!" practically spitting the word out of her mouth.

Do yourself a favor and skip this. Not even the big names (relatively speaking) could save this dumpster fire.

This movie plays ike a National Lampoon film (after they made all the good ones and started making trash with the NL name on them) only updated to today's lingo.

Actually it's a level above those NL movies, but not by much. The characters are all fast talking people making silly predictable jokes that arent actually especially funny.

Throw in some dumb humor like the one about plastic straws and you can anticipate every line in the film.

It's competently, if inexpensively, made and the acting is fine. The movie's downfall is the script which just isnt all that funny. It's like a facsimile of a comedy written by someone who isn't all that talented and only knows comedy from other movies they've seen.

Byt the time the first third is done, you will be either bored or annoyed. There is nothing new or original in it.

If you want some background noise from a movie that sounds like every other movie in this genre then go for it.
