The Out-Laws

There a few laughs in the movie, I gotta give it that. But for the most part this movie is stupid, cliche and down right annoying. Adam Divine is a frigging train wreck, his delivery of the dialogue is so over the top it's hard to stomach. His screaming like a baby is neither funny or any way entertaining and there is way, way too much of it. The thing is, with some better casting and better direction it could have been a great movie. Nina Dobrev is the exception, she's pretty much makes it all work. Ellen Barkin and Pearce Brosnen have a pretty good pedigree but seem miscast and are not believable. How we made to the end, I don't know.

I don't know what's going on with movies lately but why are they so dumbed down? Like the crude humor? The unnecessary cussing. I don't get it. Comedies like American Pie, Superbad, and Easy A seem to be a thing of the past. Instead of using humor, crudeness and all in funny ways, now we just do and say random stuff that no human would actually do or say. I don't know who's in the writers room and if these are older people thinking they are hip and cool by writing this dialogue but it's really weird. Aside from the trailer giving it away, it was clear from the beginning who the robbers were. I think most of the actors were good, and did ok with what they were given. Sad to see the actor who played Tyree play such an over the top caricature instead of a character more real like in get out. Comedy just isn't hitting the same way. Maybe gen z thinks this is funny but as a millennial it missed the mark.

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.

Considering some of the garbage netflix has released recently I was expecting this to have a better review. Was this a ground breaking film? Absolutely not but it's a comedy with Adam DeVine you'd think people would know what they're getting into. Like most comedic actors he has one role he normally plays, in his case an idiot. He does it well and I laughed the entire movie. Maybe it was the edible I ate who knows but this movie was very enjoyable for me. Everyone was good/funny and it was a refreshing plot for a comedy. Are you gonna wanna see this in 70mm in imax? Probably not but it'a a solid movie for a night in.

This movie sucks. The only thing that saves it from 1/10 is that its a good cast and feels like a quality production compared.

First of all, the plot is silly. Silly plots can work if the script is funny. This was not. The characters are totally unbelievable and boring. For instance, having an FBI agent who works alone on the field and is bad at his job just feels old and boring. The dialogue sometimes doesnt make sense and is unbelievable. The movie wants to be a comedy but its just not funny. I didnt laugh once during the movie. I believe I smirked once at one of the comments from the main characters parents, but that was about it.

I finished the movie although I was very bored halfway through it. Afterwards I feel like it didnt give me anything. Not an interesting story, not interesting characters, extremely poor dialogue. Just not entertaining in any way.
