Hard Breakers

"My emotionally crippling father has nothing to do with the fact that I knock guys over the head and have sex with them." Two girls, Alexis (Richardson) & Lindsay (Monk) are single and living in Los Angeles. They have a hard time finding dates and after failure after failure they decide to change their approach. They walk around, see someone that looks cute and knock them out, when they wake up in the girls house the date begins. Every once in a while it is nice to just sit back and relax watching a movie that you don't have to think about. Like most of this type of movie they try to put a deep emotional plot in it without realizing that there is only one reason that people will want to watch. This is another movie where the plot isn't needed and you can just put in and veg out to. Sometimes those movies are needed after watching some emotional ones. All that said this is a movie about two hot blondes who have problems (?) getting dates. Think the "Sweetest Thing" but more of a "USA up-all night" version. After all this you are probably wondering one thing and no...there isn't really that much nudity in this. Overall, if you want a movie you don't have to think about and just watch you could do worse. I give it a C.

I usually don't write reviews but after watching this movie, I had to mention how bad this movie was and so registered into IMDb and am now writing this review. This movie makes me feel like I've just lost 2 hours of my life and trust me, I've seen bad movies. Anyways, there is no storyline, the scenes change haphazardly and the script is incoherent. The only tolerable part of this movie are the eye-candies in the form of the 2 lead actresses but you are bound to get bored after a while looking at their bodies, and awful acting. Don't want to be too harsh on them but they should have seriously gotten their brains checked before accepting this movie. And what is a talented actor like Tom Arnold doing in this movie? Seriously, was he threatened to act in this movie or what?

I wouldn't recommend this movie even if this is the last movie on Earth. Go play ball instead.

Based from the cover of the movie, you'd expect this to be another teenage comedy movie, but it didn't turn out to be that. The movie tells a story about two women who start using men for sex. Somehow the stereotypical image of the approach to sex is reversed in this movie, and that was a refreshing way to go at it.

As for the cast and the acting, actually people in the movie did good jobs with their roles and characters. Cameron Richardson, playing Alexis, came off as a slightly gullible and lovable character, while Sophie Monk, playing Lindsay, was the aggressive vixen. And these two carried the movie, with their charms and beauty.

Though, I prefer a movie having more carrying it than just two pretty ladies. And there is a handful of familiar faces making appearances throughout the movie. Tom Arnold playing Alexis's father. Tia Carrere playing the gunstore owner wearing pink camouflage! That was weird, just where do you need to camouflage yourself in pink? And I would say that the best performance in the movie was the one done by Chris Kattan, in the role of Hertz Waters.

The movie isn't all bad, there are moments where it had potential. And actually there are lots of nice scenery and views in the movie, good camera work as well.

But as for the story, it was fairly weak and failed to come off more than mediocre. I am sure the idea was really good on paper, but on screen it didn't stand out in a memorable way.

I managed to sit through the entire movie, though I was tempted to get up and find something else to do a couple of times. I just hoped the movie would pick up and become more than it was, but no. The movie just went onward in a monotone dull pace, leaving you able to disconnect your brain entirely and just sit there and glare at the screen.

If you are in for an evening's worth of entertainment from the comedy genre, there are better choices than "Hard Breakers" available.

If the girl power twist were put on a spring break movie from the '70s it might have been revolutionary, but this movie was released in 2010. The girl power aspect at this point is so cliche it makes the movie more than a little dumb. I mean I like Cameron Richardson and Sophie Monk. I think they're both quite beautiful and charming. The problem is the script is lame, the direction is choppy at best, and the supporting cast, despite the guest stars, is pretty awful. It might have been saved by a harder R-rated supply of naked bodies and sex, but this film just doesn't go there. It's a very mediocre buddy movie with a dark attitude and a very lightweight comedy script.

First of all, let me get something clear. I'm not rating this film based on the quality a film should have. I'm rating this film base on what it's trying to be. And it's stupid, tasteless and shameless fun. And it does beautifully. There is nothing subtle or puzzling about it. There is nothing even cool. It's weird, it's clumsy. It's what it should be. It's just about a lot of people making fool of themselves. And not in the "oh, what did I just did!?!?" way. More like "Mr Officer, what's wrong with running on the street naked wearing a pirate hat. Is it the pirate hat?" The script is none existent, the character's have little to none development. There isn't any sense in the most that is happening on the screen. But that doesn't matter. Just go watch the trailer and if u laugh, there is a big chance u'll find other things to laugh in the movie
