Quem Chamou o Charlie?

I remember when Hollywood used to make this psychological test in the audience, just to learn about people's minds and they would use it. One of the most used findings was that about, catching the audience attention in the first 10 minutes. I watch for only 20, and i was bored. Also the camera work is so clumsy that i got dizzy.

There was nothing funny in this movie, although the acting is really good and the photography is amazing. But hey, who doesn't like New York?.

Other movies come to mind, from the 80's... I might not remember the names, but I do remember laughing. Bill Murray, Bette Middler... Not laughing with this one.

Phil is a high-flying businessman who seemingly has it all. His friend Charlie is the opposite. When they bump into each other at the most awkward time for Phil, Phil never could have imagined his life was about to change - for the better!

During peak Covid-19 time, Charlie shows up uninvited at Phil's home, asking to stay there for a few days. While Phil's wife Rosie is not happy with the idea, Phil agrees - providing he stays "in his own space". With Phil always concerned about business and Rosie concerned about everything else, Charlie bonds with their 16-year old son Max.

'Who invited Charlie' features good performances - especially Adam Pally as Charlie, who is just such a positive, uplifting spirit and so incredibly well performed by Pally. Charlie is a free spirit, and an endearing and likable character. I absolutely loved the way his character - and the film - developed. Adam Pally brilliantly steals the show in every scene he is in. This movie had me smiling all the way!

With a good script, many hilarious moments, and a good soundtrack, 'Who invited Charlie' was a very entertaining watch. I really enjoyed it!

This film feels like the kind of movies Netflix should be suggesting! Well known cast, accessible story and just a feel good movie without feeling like I've been dumbed down.

What About Bob? For a new generation and times. Any time I get to see some familiar VEEP faces, is also a bonus!!!

Reid Scott has never not made me chuckle, and even as he doubles down on the "coolest guy in the room" and then reels it in, he is just great in every scene.

Definitely recommend it for a smarter take on Rom Com Night! The story gets rolling quick and it touches on everything we've been going through with a nice magnifying glass that both makes it feel comfortable and awkward and comical!

Really happy I stumbled upon this!

On the surface, it's a laugh-out-loud comedy, filled with drinking and pot-smoking antics, led by Adam Pally. He reminds me a little of the late, great John Belushi. He's funny, crazy, and has that infectious mantic quality Belushi had. But this film goes a bit deeper than that, and I found it to be a solid, touching look at family life and dysfunction.

The story revolves around a New York couple and their son. Rosie (Jordan Brewster) and Phil (Reid Scott) and their son Max (Peter Dager) decide to leave the city and spend time at their summer home in the Hamptons. The film takes place during the beginning of the pandemic, which I thought was a bit annoying. Get used to it folks, I think we're going to see a lot more of them in the near future. The couple has some problems to work out, and their son is incredibly shy. The one day Charlie (Pally) shows up, unannounced. He's a total wild man, sucking down booze and smoking pot all day.

At first the family is on edge, but eventually things begin to click. It's implied that several years ago, Phil stole an idea that Charlie had and ran with it--and ended up making a pile of dough from it. But Charlie doesn't begrudge him for doing it. And while he's there, he gets the couple to try to work out things. He also helps Max come out of his shell. I had a feeling that it was going to turn into an "Animal House" crazy film, but I thought it went a lot deeper than that. It was an overall solid flick.

What Fun!

Was not expecting for this to hit on so many levels.

Movie had ideal timing where we could look back and laugh a bit about Covid - you forget how crazy that initial phase was, people were scared and insane!

It's a movie that everyone can enjoy, which is rare these days. It had just enough of all the top needs; drama, laughter, irreverence, feeling, warmth, and friendship. All beautified by great locations.

Adam Pally's clothing was like another character, and worked so well, a real highlight--I need more clothing like that!!

The intro animation felt new, I so appreciate when they make that fun.

Movie was poignant and funny, with a satisfying ending.
