Some of Our Stallions

Some of our stallions is the kind of movie big studios don't tend to make anymore. It's a movie about two friends going through an emotional journey. It's beautifully shot film with an interesting style. The comedy comes from the characters, nothing feels forced. This movie is a hidden gem that I hope more people get to see.

Some of Our Stallions is totally unique and creative while remaining unpretentious and truly funny which is a very rare thing. Go and watch it so these guys can keep making awesome stuff!

Seriously a 7.1 for such a bad story and acting meaningless and non funny for all parts didn't deserve such rating. Fake. Instead I saw two moron and having such an irritating behavior and just make me feel sick!

SOOS (which we can use as a handy abbreviation for the funny but somewhat grandiose full title) is an entirely unique film that dances magnificently between outright buddy comedy, indie crime thriller, and beautiful relationship drama. Deep down it's a film about friendship, and the importance of finding people who love us for our true selves.

The mental health of our main characters is troubling, and while they are capable of doing some pretty bad (and generally misguided) things, we are assured early and often that they are good people. Carson Mell's performance is effortless, hilarious, and oftentimes stressful to watch: a well-meaning man unhinged, impoverished, and facing the possible loss of the one thing he has and holds most dear-his best friend Andy. Al Di as Andy is a revelation, naturalistic and sincere, hilarious and charming. While you might need to turn the subtitles on for a few line deliveries, once you know (and consider) what he's saying, it becomes clear just how complicated this man is, and how deeply intertwined these two 'stallions' truly are.

With a solid number of memorable comedic set pieces (picking up women at the mall, post-9/11 "Joyist" donut antics, every interaction between "beautiful Bill" and Bonnie, Bill going 'wolf man' then imagining his shape, and the tense-yet-funny extended scene with Sam in a motel room, to name just a few), and plenty of heart to keep you invested, SOOS is a new favorite movie I expect will only improve the more I watch. Tim Heidecker also gets a shoutout, as a continual presence in fascinating, top tier indie comedy. A true supporter and benefactor of the arts.

5 stars, 10/10 rating. Loved this movie.

I don't know what problem people have with writing smart and happy guys into a buddy comedy, but no one seems to be able to do it.

In this movie, two guys act dumb and obedient towards each other. Every other scene shows no self preservation, human traits, or will to survive...

Olivia Dudley plays someone with common sense, and her character spends the entire film standing up for herself.

It's clear that Carson Mells is trying to break down the "act tough" or "act pretty" alternate personalities we all carry around, and being a human-being does sell, however we put on those alternate personalities as defense in the real world. So what is shown in this movie is two guys with a total disconnect from the real world, instead of being a part of it like everyone else.

It would be better to see two guys expressing nervousness, frustration, tourettes, electric excitement, excessive nerdiness, etc... Real social, human traits, that people can connect to.
