A Stand Up Guy

A Stand Up Guy started out rough around the edges, but soon evolved into an engaging story we couldn't stop watching. It had some extremely funny lines and many great well-placed non-verbal laughs, too. The supporting cast really held their own. Each character was very memorable including those portrayed by familiar faces like Ethan Suplee, Bob Saget, Andy Fiscella, etc.

Some of the writing was spotty, but to be fair so are many films these days, not just lighthearted home-release comedies. The actors all nailed it. And, we loved the soundtrack, too!

This is a movie for anyone who needs to escape from life for a while to enjoy a well- crafted story and get many deep laughs with their friends or dates. Not for kids hence its rating. There will be critics who will harshly beat up films like this, but they're often the same types who take life more seriously than it deserves to be. This is one of the funniest films of the year....in its own special way.

Don't believe the bad reviews, this movie is funny and good. There wasn't one thing bad about it. I enjoyed every bit. I don't know what these people are giving it bad ratings based on but it isn't reality. Give it a try you are bound to have a good time.

In all respects this was horrible. B-grade actors who never had a starring role in any movie or HBO special, dialogue that was just that far below being memorable, location shots and then just bad backyard actual locations that made for anyone to know it was just sad and pathetic.

The movie should really have been called "When you think of making a movie and you have a couple hundred bucks".

The B-grade actors must have been doing someone a favor to appear in this dung.

The movie production values screamed that it was made with a handycam. The actors looked bored and as if they were wondering why they were asked to say the horrible lines. Nothing about the piece was believable.

Please, producers, before you decide to fund your cousins' latest project because your mom said to do it, think of your reputation.

I have to say, I never expected this to be even watchable but was pleasantly surprised by the writing and quirk quotient. The lead, unknown to me, was decent enough and the cast proved to be very entertaining. The narrative isn't anything too unique (fish out of water succeeds), but the story is engaging enough to make you care about the protagonist and stick with it. The payoff to me are mostly the scenes with Michael Rapaport and Jay R. Ferguson who bring a hilarious bizarro edge to the story. One thing this film deserved was a better ending, not to give anything away, but it is fairly anticlimactic.

That was hilariously funny. I was shocked. Had me laughing the whole time. I was high as heck though. Michael Rappaport was horrible as always,why do producer hire this idiot.
