Bar Fight!

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.

It was not my choice to watch this movie, my poor sweet, not cinematically-choosy, boyfriend selected it. I was on-board at first solely due to my love and professional respect for Rachel Bloom and Melissa Fumero. However, the more time I spent "watching" (better said, "enduring") this film, the sadder I felt for these two underrated talents. They should not be agreeing to such genuinely trivial, D-List projects that are so beneath their talents. Albeit you don't every day book a "Brooklyn 99" or "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" as those were needles in the hay stacks; however, standards should have been set. There was not a single original thought or line throughout this entire film. I also never once even had a silly chuckle. It was a completely sub-par, novice, straight to streaming film that nobody really should waste their time on. There are better bad films out there to pass the time on.

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.

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.

This has got to be one of the most boring "comedies" I've seen in a long time. The jokes, what few there were, were lame. The chemistry between the characters was nonexistent. This might have made an ok 30 minute TV show, but there is no way it should have ever been made into a full, feature-length film. As a matter of fact, the whole issue with "whose bar it is" could have been solved really simply if they'd both just ignored each other or even just stayed on opposite ends.

What there two ever saw in each other in the first place - the whole, overdone overweight, frumpy, "every-man" scores beautiful, out-of-his-league girl notwithstanding - they have nothing at all in common. That they broke up without even a single cross word between them... yeah. No. Then you bring in the girl's best-friend. She has got to be the most annoying, obnoxious, crass person alive. Again... nothing in common between her and Melissa (the main girl), either.

Of course, the required reading was there... both the main guy and the best friend's husband are portrayed as the perfect "house husbands" - within the first five minutes, Melissa literally says that exact thing about Luka, her ex-boyfriend. When Luka tells the annoying best friend that she is, in fact, mean, she cuts him off and asks if he's going to call her "opinionated," "bold," "overbearing" because of course, he's sexist. When Melissa is walking back to her car, Luka asks her if she wants him to walk with her - you know, as a gentleman to make sure that she gets there safely - she looks at him in disgust and declares "sexist!" practically spitting the word out of her mouth.

Do yourself a favor and skip this. Not even the big names (relatively speaking) could save this dumpster fire.
