Bar Fight!

Um yeah ok, 18 minutes in this became stupid officially. This movie doesn't soar but it tries to. Rachel Bloom has become massively oversized since that show about the Crazy Ex-Girl Friend. You can tell it's going to be a chore to watch. Here's what you do. You just either turn up to the bar whenever you want, or you don't. It's pretty simple. Since he found the bar it should be his and as a lawyer she should acknowledge that fact. Anyway back to the "review". The movie is what it is. It's light hearted. It tries to be quirky and different. It could be enjoyable in the right light of day. The biggest issue is that is starts out with a breakup in which nobody fights. So we're in fantasy land right off the bat. And there just isn't enough material to have a whole movie based on who gets a bar. Also the black guy has the most weird haircut. It's just plain stupid looking hair. Ultimately the thing about this film is that it's a breakup movie and that's never something to get excited about. It's a downer of a film and I'm calling it a 3/10.

This film lacks good acting performances, humour and wit. Personally I cant find anything good to say about this film - maybe the colour palette of the whole film was quite pleasant. The main ex-couple had no chemistry, most of the jokes repeat themselves, side characters and their lines are annoying and extremely unnatural and the story is quite predictable. The whole film felt super staged and more like an episode of a sitcom. And eventhough I like Melissa Fumero in Brooklyn 99, this role just didn´t suit her. I must admit I struggled to get to the end of "Bar Fight", eventhough the runtime is quite short.

Found this 2022 movie kinda randomly yesterday and saw Melissa Fumero was in it, wich i enjoyed in Brooklyn 99. I also like beer games and drinking in general so i was like "why not", just a little fun afternoon comedy.

Overall i taught the movie was fine. I did laugh in a few places, and the same charm Melissa has in Brooklyn 99 is also present here. Her Ex Husband is a little more "muffled" but he is fine.

Most of the support cast are really straight out of these sitcom comedy shows. Over the top at every turn and its barely if you don't hear the laughing track during certain scenes (there is none, but this has all the vibes of it). Most of the movie happen in the same location (the bar) and around, and its obvious this was done on a very small budget.

That said for me it did the job. Not a movie ill rewatch or can say it was amazing, but as a movie consumer who watch a lot every year, this was perfectly fine and enjoyable for what it was.

People who dismiss this effort must be getting their laughs somewhere other than either film or tv because ... where are they? Where HAVE all the comedies gone?

But I suspect those folks don't laugh a lot -- in general.

This is a good-natured buddy movie without major surprises and some cheeful cameos by a friendly ensemble.

To be fair, there is a "best friend" so lacking in charm it made spotting the gender of the author a bit too easy.

But other than that, it's may not be cinema fare, but it is a streaming snack well worth enjoying.

She is just as delightful as in the Brooklyn Nine-Nine character that made her such a broadcast favourite. He is a litte too low-energy at times, and his character could have benefited from a few more actual zingers.

But hey. I was starving and this briefly fed me. So I give thanks and laughter in return.

This movie plays ike a National Lampoon film (after they made all the good ones and started making trash with the NL name on them) only updated to today's lingo.

Actually it's a level above those NL movies, but not by much. The characters are all fast talking people making silly predictable jokes that arent actually especially funny.

Throw in some dumb humor like the one about plastic straws and you can anticipate every line in the film.

It's competently, if inexpensively, made and the acting is fine. The movie's downfall is the script which just isnt all that funny. It's like a facsimile of a comedy written by someone who isn't all that talented and only knows comedy from other movies they've seen.

Byt the time the first third is done, you will be either bored or annoyed. There is nothing new or original in it.

If you want some background noise from a movie that sounds like every other movie in this genre then go for it.
