Amateur Night

Here's the plot - Unemployeed architect's wife finds a job for her husband online as a delivery driver, but the product to deliver turns out to be three exotic female sex performers. Oops! That wasn't explained in the ad online.

Surely something funny is about to happen. Jason Biggs plays the sweet innocent husband that just wants his 9 to 5 job. He stumbles into a job in which he is 'on call' all night for the sexy hard nosed girls. There's horny students having a party, thugs, car chases, lots of action that is suppose to be funny. But funny never arrives here in this flick! Biggs looks like he's doing this role for the money and everybody else looks unrehearsed.

It's too bad Directors: Lisa Addario, Joe Syracuse couldn't pull it together because I'm sure 'on paper' this story looked fun and funny. This flick is more funny to talk about with your friends than it is to watch; but you have to watch it to talk about it.

Ugh!

This is a textbook example of how Hollywood can screw up a really good story. This had the opportunity to be funny and entertaining and even touching. Unfortunately it didn't meet any of those goals.

I was hoping that we'd get a story that played out over a few weeks and let the characters grow into people the cared about. Instead we got a story crammed into a single jumbled night and tied everything up with a crappy bow at the end. The entire thing was just disappointing and flat. The few attempts at humor were either gross or cringe inducing in their awkwardness. It didn't elicit a chuckle, much less any actual laughter.

As another reviewer stated, it wasn't a bad movie - it just wasn't a good movie either.

The plot should have made it hilarious, but bad writing, a poor choice for the lead and slow direction made for a lifeless, humorless film. Not worth the time.

As someone who graduated from law school during an economic downturn and then waited tables for a while before finding a good job, I could relate to this out of work architect who suddenly finds himself working as a driver just to get by. However, beyond that the movie was full of surprises, including some cringeworthy scenes of the main character washing the "hardware" (sex toys) before a bachelor party.

This movie is as much a comment on the gig economy as it is funny and sexy. There is also an oddly sweet honesty about some of the interpersonal relationships depicted in the story.

I recommend this film for something to make you laugh and to put things in perspective at the end of a long day. (But I definitely do not recommend watching it with your parents or with young children.)

This was actually good. One of those funny movies. I really enjoyed this.
