The Clapper

The story is odd, but nicely handled in an almost sit com sort of way. The characters are brilliantly defined almost from the start by the actors, with kudos going to the excellent Seyfried. I'd never have put her in a role like this but she carries it brilliantly and humbly and she shares the stars with the screenwriting.

The Clapper is an easy watch, and in most reviews it states , this movie doesnt know what it wants to be. It tries to be a satire, it tries to be a romcom etc. Why does a movie have to be one thing? This movie bravely attempts to navigate a love story with crazy media culture as a backdrop. Its a story about 3 honest people Eddie, Judy and Chris in a very dishonest world. I liked the performance of Ed Helms, Tracy Morgan and Amanda Seyfried. The only thing I had a problem was with the end dialogues between Eddie and Judy. But this is a very small, sweet movie which does paints an honest picture of everything wrong with popular culture. I think time will be kind to this movie.

Who wrote this?? This was so forced and fake that it was painful to watch. I was only able to last for 30 mins and had to turn it off. It's slow, it's boring, and it tries too hard but still fails miserably. The story is completely pointless and goes no where. The acting is ok but it's the writing that just makes this painful to watch. The dialog is so.... whatever. These people need to learn about timing!!

Human beings do not on any level act like this. Audiences dont laugh at terrible jokes and anothers tragedy just because its passed off with blase. Unsurprisingly Ed Helms and Amanda Seyfried both do a great job of representing sweet, out of touch and stressed "nobodys" but the writing here is horrible, not cute just awkward lines just make them into expository dolls despite their best efforts. Im surprised this movie was made but arts a risk and Im sure everyone gave it a college try. Lots of good qualities.

Just finished watching this movie. Even though I was aware of the somehow low rating, I decided to still give it a try, based on the fact that I enjoy watching Ed Helms or Amanda Seyfried - but with both of them playing, it felt like a must. I did not have any expectations, so no dissapointments. Unless you are a die hard fan, trust me that you won't miss any terrible laughs, unexpected plot twists or complex on screen chemistry. See it for what it is if nothing better comes up.
