It's not a perfect film, but this is a very good thriller with good acting, direction, plot, and a good script. I'm surprised this movie isn't rated higher on here, people give a lot of stylized thrillers a pass, but give this one a bad rating. If you ask me, that makes no sense. This movie is actually really good, House of Games is underrated, at least by the people who rate the film on here it is. I would give this an 8/10.
You shouldn't pay too much attention to the negative reviews because this film was actually kind of funny and probably one of the better comedies to come out in quite a while. Sure, the second half might drag a little bit, however the actor's chemistry and some of the memorable exchanges of dialogue make up for most of this film's flaws. Also, Emma Watson's acting isn't that great, but I feel as some people are taking a movie like this too seriously. It's a raunchy R rated apocalypse comedy with Seth Rogen, Franco, and those guys, what did you expect? The acting and script are overall good, but the pacing could've been better. Overall, it's not as good as 40 Year Old Virgin or Superbad, but it's way better than some of the scathing audience reviews would tell you. It got a positive rating of 83% from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes, I have to say that they were right about this movie and the IMDb audiences were kind of harsh. If you like Seth Rogen and James Franco's brand of humor, you'll get into this movie. It's not an excellent film by any means, but it should be a fun enjoyable time for people that are into something that's different.
I don't understand some of the positive reviews trying to defend this movie, it was absolutely horrible. The only decent thing in the film was probably Naomi Watts' performance. Otherwise, the story is dull, illogical, insipid, and abysmally written. Anybody who says it's not that bad have really low standards. This movie was awful, incoherent garbage with one of the worst plots I ever witnessed. Nothing in this film works. Please skip it, don't waste your time.
