Ok so unforgettable is perhaps a bit of an overstatement.But it was certainly good.
I am not a fan of Jason Segal, or Kristen Bell, and went to see this purely and unashamedly on the grounds that my favourite comedian, Russel Brand had a role.Much for the same reason I went to see St. Trinians [which I also,coincidently,enjoyed greatly.]Well perhaps not purely on the grounds that Brand starred, it was made by the people who made Knocked Up,which was one of my favourite of last year's movies.
Anyway.
I like the script. Kept me laughing all the way through.Although I don't think the characters had much depth to them,they were still believable.
Wasn't filmed in any particularly special way,but I do remember liking the fact that there was always little laughable things going on the background of the frame.
The acting was pretty average, or maybe I'm just being bias against two actors that I don't particularly like? I enjoyed Russel Brand's performance,but then again, I'd probably would have enjoyed it regardless of what he was doing.
Ok so I can't actually think of anything else to justify why I enjoyed this film.Infact,looking at what I've written above,I've not explained very well why I liked it at all.I'm just going to put it down to the hilarious script.
And on that note,I'll leave you with a few of my favourite quotes from the movie:
Matthew :What did you think of my demo,did you get it?
Aldous :I was gonna listen to that,but then,um,I just carried on living my life.
Surfing Instructor: Oh come on..the weather outside is weather...
Surfing Instructor: When life gives you lemons,you just say 'Fuck The Lemons' and bail
Surfing Instructor:If you get bitten by a shark,you're not just going to give up surfing are you?
Peter: ...yeah,probably
Aldous :Could you get it out please Mr Hotel Man, I'm really losing a lot of blood here. [thats not the exact quote but it wasn't on IMDB and I couldn't find it anywhere]
And of course:
Surfing Instructor : You sound like you're from London! [ok maybe's that's only hilarious to me and my friends who have laughed about it since the trailers for this film came out.]
So there we have it.
Until Next Time
