Dirty 30

I have never seen any of the people in this movie before - and that's OK. I liked the actresses OK. But none of this movie was even the slightest bit believable. It opens with an over the top bad date to set the stage - kind of funny but really? Nothing in the movie is original - everything has been done before. Sad girl about turning 30, girl they hate from high school, cool guy from high school is old and fat now, and the boy she now likes is misunderstood when he leaves the party with the girl from high school they all hate - but really he is a good guy because he was just driving a drunk girl home and he had no interest in her. I didn't laugh that much and found it rather boring.

And Kate - the main girl - while I could see me liking her in other things I don't think she is a strong enough actress to carry a movie as the lead.

If you are in the mood for a "stupid" funny movie - then this is for you.

Writer and film star Mamrie Hart may have got her wish to "star" in her own film about a girl named Kate Fields who works as a dental hygenist and is turning 30 but she is still single and relies on her two besties for her social life.

This is supposed to be one of those "loser turns winner" camp/comedy/romance films where the high school loser(s) get together for a wild reunion at a rich and absent house owners mansion and for Kate Fields 30th birthday party. The scenario of a girl trying to find true love but keeps getting into bad relationships such as Kate's blind date with a loser guy named Raven who still lives with his parents, has been done a million times before, and now I can honestly say this is the one millionth PLUS ONE failure.

I did not laugh once. Writing and acting were below par. It reminded me of a film that was made in less than seven (7) days and for less than ten (10) grand.

10 minus 7 equals a 3 out of 10 rating.

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.

Kate Fields (Mamrie Hart) is turning 30 and life kinda sucks. Her long-time friends Evie (Grace Helbig) and Charlie (Hannah Hart) have their own difficulties. They find a letter from Kate's 16 year old self. She allows them to throw her a small and tasteful birthday party but...

This is a film featuring a bunch of YouTube personalities. I'm sure that it's great for their fans. For everybody else, this is like every other single gal comedy by a second tier comedy troupe. They are functional comedic actors. There is nothing here that's going to blow anybody's mind. It has a few harmless jokes and a general knowledge of every single gal tropes. The party needs to go more crazy, faster and harder. It runs out of steam by the midway point. Instead of taking off into a wild night, it gets dull.

Well written and agreeable comedy in the familar style following the plight of a woman re-assessing her life and trying to deal with her lack of adult points by acting like a child.

Except that it's much better characterized than most of the rest, presenting a poignant and revitalizing depiction of a person looking within themself and rediscovering their place in the universe but it's never trite or sickly.

A good bit of fun that is never hateable.
