Barry Munday

As others have testified, Patrick Wilson's Barry is treated like the worst human alive for reasons not made clear...enough. He's a womanizer? Yeah, and all the women he bedded WANTED it at the time, including Judy Greer's Ginger. I got so sick of her constant berating that I had to yell some unspeakable words at the screen. Sorry, Ginger, but you had it comin'! What makes it all bearable is Wilson's good-ole-guy Barry, almost innocent in his train-wreck approach to women. He seems so sweet and puppy dog up against all the arseholes who use him to channel their inner hatreds against. And Ginger eventually softens up and owns up to her fault and has a pretty good line about the blessings of ugliness. Good enough all around to watch instantly if you have Netflix.

The idea itself is absolutely unique and to be honest till near the end of the movie i thought (like most of who watched it) that she was faking the story and Burry didn't do it!!

She came to him after he became desperate for removing his testis, she came in that ugly looks and was blaming and swearing and he didn't push it back at all. And as he told her later on while they were in his car that she appeared now to (redirect) him!

He believed that she became pregnant from him however he didn't remember a thing at all of that night.

The main idea is never to give up and to see the good things in everything.

Way to go! I love it

Thank you very much Cheers

After a horrible incident at a movie theatre, Barry Munday wakes up in a hospital without his testicles. To make matters worse, a lawyer informs him that a woman claims he is the father of her unborn child.

The concept of the film makes it seem like it's going to be a lot more cruder than it actually is. Barry Munday turns out to be a rather mature film that has immature bits of comedy, which makes it come of as a sweet film with real issues it wants to discuss. Munday looses what many think is a man's manhood, but in reality, it took him losing his testicles to truly become a man. Based on the book Life is a Strange Place, Barry Munday is surprisingly delightful.

Patrick Wilson is perfectly cast as Munday, he nails the character in a role that demands him to be a womanizer, dumb, sweet, innocent and likable. Wilson gives us these little moments where the character will do something, when he isn't the main focus of the scene and it adds more depth to an already well written character. Judy Greer plays Ginger as the family outsider who is difficult to deal with. She comes off a a mature 12 year old. Her parents are played by seasoned actors Cybill Shepherd and Malcolm McDowell, both small roles but they do leave an impression. Jean Smart is the more memorable parent, she plays Carol Munday, Barry's mother. Do I even need to mention Lando Calrissian and the fact that he drives a DeLorean?

There are moments are pure hilarity, like when Munday accidentally calls out his child's name during sex, but there are moments of charm and delight, like the expression on his face when the child is born. His eagerness to be a part of the child's life is admirable, he's lost the one thing that will give him a child and now he discovers that he is possibly the father of one? That's enough of a sign for him to want to be a father that he accepts it without having a paternity test. But then the question arises, is he really the father?

Barry Munday is not a flat out comedy, it's more character driven. Munday, played excellently by Wilson, is a character that sells the film. If you can't connect to him, the movie might falls apart for you. I thought Wilson did an excellent job in this role and it's my favourite performance from him thus far.

When I first started watching the film I honestly almost turned off it. The movie clearly diddn't have big budget and it went quite sometime without any humor and just seemed raunchy. But once the second act came on I was honestly really engaged and by the end I really liked the film.

Patrick Wilson while hes no Adam Sandler did a great job in his portrayal of middle age guy who goes through traumatizing situation and turns his life around for the better. The rest of cast which had some big names did well too with the source material.

While there couple laughs to be had occasionally the movie succeeds more as a romance story. Sure there plenty of films that are similiar to this one but its still enjoyable as 90 minute watch. Would definitely recommend.

I am used to seeing Patrick Wilson chasing Ghosts in Haunted Houses but in this light hearted Romantic Comedy he holds his own. Balls ? Judy Greer is great as Ginger a Old Maid who gets pregnant and her Man . Wilson's Munday is sort of a Womanizer turned into Homemaker Dad after he loses his testicles in attack by girlfriends father. Raunchy aside If you stay with this til the End. Pretty Funny flick. Impressive Cast !!
