Tudo Por um Bar

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.

Um yeah ok, 18 minutes in this became stupid officially. This movie doesn't soar but it tries to. Rachel Bloom has become massively oversized since that show about the Crazy Ex-Girl Friend. You can tell it's going to be a chore to watch. Here's what you do. You just either turn up to the bar whenever you want, or you don't. It's pretty simple. Since he found the bar it should be his and as a lawyer she should acknowledge that fact. Anyway back to the "review". The movie is what it is. It's light hearted. It tries to be quirky and different. It could be enjoyable in the right light of day. The biggest issue is that is starts out with a breakup in which nobody fights. So we're in fantasy land right off the bat. And there just isn't enough material to have a whole movie based on who gets a bar. Also the black guy has the most weird haircut. It's just plain stupid looking hair. Ultimately the thing about this film is that it's a breakup movie and that's never something to get excited about. It's a downer of a film and I'm calling it a 3/10.

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.

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.

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.
