Loco, Loco Fin De Semana

This movie, as was to be expected isn't really great. Even though it's just another comedy focussing on sex jokes it doesn't even make it in that category.

I don't think it should be compared to American Pie, it's jokes just aren't funny, at all. It's full of homevideo shots of people getting slapped in the face etc. that have to do with the story. It didn't help that once the movie started with a montage of some of these clips 50% of the audience behind me started laughing hysterically. I don't think I've ever heard people laughing so hard. I'm seriously wondering if they were paid to be there.

They didn't make the experience more enjoyable though, although it did make me smile sometimes when ten people behind me were kicking the ground every time someone toppled over. It was really ridiculous.

Anyway, I didn't expect much out of 'The Long Weekend' and I viewed it the way it wants to be viewed, a simple sex comedy. But I still think it's not worth watching it. Or at least paying to go see it at the movies. Of course I saw it at a sneak preview so I can honestly say I didn't know what I was in for.

If you're gonna watch it, make sure you're extremely bored and don't have anything else to do, I guess it can be entertaining under those circumstances.

Well what can I say, if you're going to watch this and you're really into a great epic you'll be disappointed. But if you hold in mind that this came from the makers from American Pie you know what's coming to you.

It's a shame Chris Klein hasn't have his chance to shine on his own because he really isn't a bad actor, he's just getting deals to sh*tty movies I guess.

About the movie, story isn't that deep. Jokes are many based on sex and farts but it's a good movie to kill a rainy Sunday evening with.

The outtakes were the best in my opinion so don't walk raging out of cinema just yet..

Don't be fooled by some of the posters. This movie does have a plot! Boy loves to make home movies. Boy becomes man. Man has woman. Woman eats best friend's cum and films it. Man finds woman and friend. Man throws away camera. Now man can't get laid. Because man can't get laid man loses creativity and will lose job. Brother vows to help man get laid. Brother gets laid, man ends up in prison... and almost gets laid. People fart. A lot.

The two leads are likable and as in any decent fart 'n sex movie there are loads of pretty chicks. Some do gross stuff. Others look at man doing gross stuff. Insert the odd joke. More often than not the jokes are lame, pathetic and just disgusting.

Must admit I did chuckle a few times and laughed out loud at least once. The best part in the movie are the unrated home bloopers, but not all of them are fun to watch. Some should just be deleted permanently from this world. All in all an OK watch, but the movie is plain bad by any movie standards. Still can be a guilty pleasure and will probably sell with testosterone booming youth.

Let me just make clear from the start why this movie gets 3/10 stars from me. 1 out of 10 stars would be a movie by people without any knowledge of making movies at all and/or with inhuman content. 2/10 stars is a movie that was made professionally but without anything good or interesting about it. So, technically "The Long Weekend" should be in that category, but let's say Chris Klein's acceptable performance saved it from that rating.

Klein is just about bearable, which can't be said about the rest of this movie. Here's a short guide for aspiring makers of comedies: Tits, fart jokes, sperm or anything vulgar does not automatically equal funny. In fact, most of the time it's the opposite. The makers of "The Long Weekend" don't seem to understand that. They explore every dick joke no matter how predictable and disgusting it is. Actually, that's the best way to describe this movie: predictable, disgusting and let's add incredibly boring to that list of adjectives. The only thing remotely original about this piece of crap are the many blooper videos that are cut in from time to time. No, that's not enough to justify the making of this disaster. Not even close. Consider yourself degenerated if you think this movie is funny!

I didn't expect anything much from this movie but the trailer look pretty good and I love this kind of genre of movie, all that leads me to watch it. And despite I do get some laugh I did quite enjoy it as much as I could.

Brief: Ed the lonely man was dump a year earlier and never was able to get over it; and now his boss gives him an ultimatum - if he could not come up with brilliant ad campaign his ass is history. He was given the time of two day to do so unfortunately his brother have other agenda for him this weekend, to get Ed to finally get laid and move on.

Okay, I didn't find the film to be terrible or anything but I wish they should have polish the script a little more and add something new to the movie of this type. The story is same old as one would have known. The good thing about the movie is real life footages, which help the movie in great way with originality and humor.

The casting of the movie seem to be the best part of the movie with Brendan Fehr as little loser kind of brother and Chris Klein as a womanizer elder brother, both of them give a fairly good acting but it seem Chris might have gone over board with his enthusiasm. And the women in the movie aren't that bad looking.

Advise: If you do not like toilet humor, I wouldn't advise you to see it. And if you do, you probably know that these movies mostly involve sex and nothing else, therefore I will not talk about how were the directing, lighting, and cinematography etc. Just tried to relax and enjoy the movie lightly.

Reason To Watch: Series of Real Life Footage, Brendan Make Pretty Convincing Loser.

Reason Not To: Not As Funny As It Suppose To Be, The Story Ain't That Good.

Recommendation: Yes, But Only Worth Enough For If It On Cable Itself.

Rating: 5.5/10 (Grade: D+).
