Dirty 30

Anyone who Youtube will know all 3 of the main actors: Hannah Hart; Grace Helbig and Mamrie Hart. They got together for this movie and I believe they hit the cinema nail right on it's head. The film is colourful, well paced, well acted for what it is, nicely written with great dialogue, witty and charming and a little emotional in parts. There's plenty of cuteness to keep people interested but not enough to turn it smulchy. It's about as believable as any film of this genre and very formulaic, but that doesn't stop it rising to the heap of all the other unbelievable and formulaic movies. The only time I write reviews is if a film touched me or moved me in some way, be that positively or negatively, and this one was definitely a feel good, positive surprise. I've given it the highest rating I ever give a film and that's because tonight that's exactly what it deserved.

Straight off the bat, Dirty 30 is an above average film that will at the very least keep you slightly entertained for an hour and a half. It's pure, harmless fun with solid performances from the very likable Mamrie Hart, Hannah Hart and Grace Helbig (the YouTube Holy Trinity), who play three best friends. I would have liked to see more character development for Hannah Hart's character (Charlie) as I thought she was the most interesting of the 3. Does this film bring anything new to the table? No, not really. Think of this as the mild-mannered lovechild of Project X and Bridesmaids. It's a predictable film that played it really safe but is still a charming little film nonetheless.The weakest aspect of this film is a forced high-school romance between two incredibly forgettable characters that the film could have completely done without. Each time these two characters were on screen, the energy and pace of the film was slowed down and all I wanted to do was get back to the fun bits.

Overall, I think big YouTube fans will enjoy this one the most as there are a bunch of awesome cameos to look forward to.

Dirty 30 is the typical comedy you watch just to have a nice evening of easy entertainment, nothing too fancy, just some quirky situations that lead to some funny scenes. Don't expect a complicated story, just enjoy the lighthearted comedy. The acting isn't bad at all for this kind of movie, all the characters add something funny to the comedy, to me the most funny one was Richard/Raven played by Adam Lustick but the rest did well as well. I'm sure there will be a ton of people that don't find it funny, but then again there are also a ton of people I wouldn't hang out with, so that evens it out. Dirty 30 is a good movie in its genre.

If you are a fan of specific youtubers and those who make cameos in this movie then you will probably have a great time, otherwise there really isn't much here.

The comedy is at most mildly amusing and most of the time it isn't even that. The writing comes across as disjointed and kind of lazy, like where people are with problem partners for seemingly no reason just so they can break up with them, that sort of thing. On top of this the story itself feels completely self-serving as we aren't really given a reason to care why any of the three mains should be happy, it's just presumed that they deserve to have the best lives and that we should care about them garnering some type of resolution of struggle.

Overall I imagine these people had a blast making this movie, but it really isn't for anyone outside of their fan base, so if that's not you then you probably shouldn't bother.

I stumbled across this movie, saw Hannah Hart was in it, and thought I may as well give it a go. I wasn't expecting much, as a lot of the cast seems to be from YouTube, and within the first 5 minutes I was questioning whether to turn it off or not. It's pretty cliche, quite cringey at times, but the more I watched it the more comfortable I got, and honestly, it's not that bad. A lot of the actors have potential, I think, and I'd honestly love to see them in bigger productions. While the script, and maybe the pace, need a lot of work the chemistry between some of the actors flowed so well, I forgot I was watching a C grade (?) movie. Some of the punchlines really hit, others were just terrible, but there were a lot of small moments that made me feel like I was watching an 'A lister' comedy. Really wasn't too bad.
