    No laughs

    This guy ruins his entire life to chase some hot hot "Danica McKellar" ass (If you know Family Guy you'll get the reference). Surely he should have known more about his wife before he married her. He said himself he was marrying into the business. So stick with that plan. I had half expected him to tell the Japanese the plan, which he did, but to then go and turn the company around for them and live happily ever after with his chosen chick. It's not well written to miss that obvious and rewarding feel good plot direction. It needed that sort of ending to boost the overall film. There's a featured review which is all lies that convinced me to give this movie a go. I can't believe how much worse it is than that review. The problem is that the "jokes" if you could call them that, are few and far between. It messes itself up with trying to have deep and meaningful romantic comedy undertones. It should be a completely debauched frat house style romp through depravity and degradation, in the wake of him finding out about his wife. It just doesn't play out very convincingly on any front.

    Well worth the experience!

    I thought the movie was entertaining and enjoyably funny. I had the pleasure of watching it with several dozen people. I knew about half of the people, the others were strangers. The laughter in the room grew louder and louder as the movie progressed. When the movie ended, the topic of conversation was the hilarious scenes depicted in the movie. Having shared laughter and engaging conversation about the movie, strangers became friends.

    The known actors did a great job of fulfilling their roles. And the unknown actors performed as if they were seasoned pros. The movie accomplished what a good movie should accomplish and that was to provide entertainment that consumed your thoughts.

    While extremely funny, the movie also has a plot that takes the viewers through twists and turns which result in surprise events. As with any comical show, viewing it with a group of friends rather than alone, will enhance the enjoyment.

    In between the few jokes I wasn't laughing...

    "Mancation" was actually anything but funny, and I can say that I honestly didn't laugh a single time throughout the entire movie.

    I should be said that director Frank Vain is trying to put together a comedy here, but it just failed miserably. The jokes were far between and when they were there, the punchlines were off and the comedy just wasn't there.

    The story in "Mancation" is about Vince (played by Matt Kawczynski) who just have gotten married to the boss's daughter. Upon their wedding day he comes home and finds her in bed with the bridesmaid; it turns out that she is a lesbian, and has been so all throughout their relationship. Together with his brother Leo (played by Stephen Medvidick) and his two friends Brady (played by Joey Fatone) and Adam (played by Jake Matthews), Vince travels to Atlantic City to meet up with his high school sweetheart.

    Right, storywise, then "Mancation" did have potential, just a shame that the storyline wasn't fully brought to justice given the bad jokes and lack of comedy throughout the entire movie. It should be said that the people cast for the various roles were actually doing good enough jobs, it was just the script that was working against them.

    The only memorable scene in the entire movie is the controversy stand-off between Adam and Igor (played by Derek Lindeman). It wasn't actually funny, but it was so bizarre and disturbing that it stood out in an otherwise stale and irrelevant movie.

    If you are looking for comedy, then your money would be better spent on something else. There really isn't much to come here for, truth be told.

    I found it funny...

    Perhaps because I don't suffer of a PC overload of guilt and pity, so I don't cringe at non-PC comments.

    This movie is funny and does not try and be anything beyond that, there is no moral of the story here, it is what it is supposed to be, a lighthearted fun movie, something to have a good laugh, and a bit silly at times. If you want bleeding heart PC fluff then don't watch this movie, it is not for you.

    For me this is a really fresh comedy in this day and age of washed-out oh-so-PC movies which are all so bland I want to scream to the heavens.

    Can we have some more please sir?

    Truly feeble

    What a load of crap ... Whoever Mr Vain is that wrote and directed this feeble excuse for a comedy, he needs to go and get a job in Wal-Mart or something, cos that might be more within his capabilities Trying to remake The Hangover was pointless in the first place as several others have done it since, and lets be honest, the original was no classic itself Here we have inept acting ... A feeble script ... Attempts at gross out humour ... And all of it failing hopelessly due to no idea from the director, I was going to say regarding timing, but I've decided it is more a case of regarding anything But with a script this pathetically bad ( yes, it was also written by Mr Vain ) there would really be no hope for anyone And no its not so bad its good ... Just a complete waste of everybodys time
