Hopelessly Ever After

I hate to be so negative, but this is quite possibly the seediest, most unpleasant viewing experience I have ever had. Number one: this is NOT a documentary. The trip to "find love" was possibly real, but what we have are a series of contrived, appallingly acted skits by three guys who clearly think they're a lot more charming and entertaining than they actually are (nb: the incessant recurring to entire bits devoted to T-shirts they think are hilarious). Plus, it makes one queasy to see these guys claiming to look for love, and concentrating on women a third of their age, and going to massage parlours and the like. Plus, in this era especially, using transgenderism as a punchline is incredibly ill-advised. And if we are to believe the final act that the characters partake in to make money, well, then that would explain a lot about the state of the world today. There are occasional comments about the protagonists' admiration of the Filipino culture, but all we see are these grown men exploiting young girls' financial desperation to get their kicks. They can kid themselves on as much as they want. Then we have, of course, the tried and trusted cliché of "man is pushed into swimming pool", not just as a gag, but as a climactic plot point. Ludicrous. These guys should be ashamed of their trip, doubly ashamed that they thought it needed filming for posterity, and triply ashamed that they thought the world needed to see it. I'm disgusted, quite frankly. Avoid like the plague.

Reading the other reviews I thought why waste my time. It's simple and stupid and funny. It's not meant to be serious. I had A LOT of laugh out loud moments. If it was so bad why keep watching. I left sausage party after about 10 minutes. And didn't waste my time about it. Let alone writing an entire diary entry. It's just fun. Call it what you want. It never takes itself too seriously.

A complete dumpster fire of overweight has-beens making stupid jokes with a bunch of women who clearly are only there for the money, i feel sorry for anyone who invested in this trash.

This is not a movie. Only watch if you love to cringe. I think they were going for some kind of goofy sex-comedy with a heart, but this is more of an exploitative incel-tragedy with alzheimers. I literally think that these guys just decided to make a movie about their trip to the Philippines and assumed they'd get so much great footage that editing would be easy... If you like to cringe, watching these losers try to act (especially the old guy who once had a line in a kubrick movie) and create interesting and funny scenes is priceless. Russ deserves most of the blame obviously, as "writer/director" but none of them are funny or interesting or even weird enough to care about, and the fact that they thought people would be entertained by 90 minutes of their moronic goofs shows how deluded and naive they are. On the positive side- hey, they're three guys who went out and made a movie, so good on them for seeing it through, but don't expect anyone to enjoy it.

Three older, gross men who fly to find love from a 3rd world country and the first thing they do is hit the bar to pick up girls barely old enough to drive. It was disturbing and I couldn't watch any more.

I saw enough to know, with certainty, why they can't find love in their own country. Ugh...
