Going Down

I have to say that when we first got this movie in, I thought it was going to be horrible. So I read the back, and thought "hey, this is going to be worse than I thought from the cover". But after about a half hour, I noticed I had been laughing out loud and just sat back and enjoyed it. Sometimes a movie catches you off guard, despite its pathetic reviews, horrible cover (US cover has a chick's stomach with a belt buckle stating "Going Down"), and just about every other mark against it that it could possible have, and still be funny. It wasn't a pothead movie, it wasn't an excuse to see a topless chick, it was just funny. I'm not going to say it was the best movie I've seen or anything, but its definitely worth watching if you don't want to invest too much thought into something.

Okay, so the guy or girl that said this movie was great clearly stared in it or made the horrible thing. Trust me, never ever see this movie, not even if your life depended on it. Where do I start? The directing? Horrible, seriously, there is no excuse for the lack of effort that went into this movie. Second rate casting and a poor director are a bad start Mr producer, what were you thinking? The script had some moments that you could see were dying to come out but were unfortunately crucified by the severe lack of comedic timing on the part of the cast and the director. Comedy is hard, don't try it if you can't do it, maybe soap opera is better? Sterile claustrophobic "sets" aka someone's house (guys, paint the walls next time) made it even more unbearable. All in all give me Jaws 3 with a little bit of Return of the Jedi and Jason X rolled into one and I'd be happier than watching this rubbish!

This movie was HELLLA funny! I don't know why so many people are giving this movie a bad rating. It was just a fun movie to watch. It did not have "oscar" material for sure and had some pretty cheesy stuff in it... but that's what it was SUPPOSED to have in it. Every film does not have to have great acting to be funny. Go out and see this movie if you just wanna have a good laugh at some funny situations. I was laughing the whole way through this movie. This movie is jam packed with funny situations and funny characters the whole way through. It has everything, sex, drugs, beer, a hooker, a wacko Policeman, kung-fu, dead people! Wow, it has it all!!!! Watch it!

It's hard to believe any sober person could have given this a favorable review. The story is inane. The acting is incompetent. Stupid dialog is overabundant. The acts of "going down" were reminiscent of cheap cable-rated porn, with little but tops of heads seen below downee pecs, and copious facial closeups of wincing downees. I laughed not once, but did give it one point for absence of gratuitous gore. It probably deserves another point as a good example of what not to include in a movie, but the multiple appearances of vomiting and sloven, easily frightened constable are too memorable to justify a higher rating than 2.

Because getting stabbed by a spoon would be better than this movie.

Taking place over 3 hours, Jack needs to clean his house from a party before his parents get home.

The laughs should ensue, but it's just frustrating and goes nowhere slowly.

Most of us have been in a situation similar to this in high school. That's what makes teen comedies funny. But THIS doesn't do that. This movie takes that element and turns the viewer 180 degrees and pushes the viewer away frim it. There's not one single character to connect with when ridiculousness gets beyond normal silly shenanigans and goes into pure stupidity.
