Un lungo weekend

Don't be fooled by some of the posters. This movie does have a plot! Boy loves to make home movies. Boy becomes man. Man has woman. Woman eats best friend's cum and films it. Man finds woman and friend. Man throws away camera. Now man can't get laid. Because man can't get laid man loses creativity and will lose job. Brother vows to help man get laid. Brother gets laid, man ends up in prison... and almost gets laid. People fart. A lot.

The two leads are likable and as in any decent fart 'n sex movie there are loads of pretty chicks. Some do gross stuff. Others look at man doing gross stuff. Insert the odd joke. More often than not the jokes are lame, pathetic and just disgusting.

Must admit I did chuckle a few times and laughed out loud at least once. The best part in the movie are the unrated home bloopers, but not all of them are fun to watch. Some should just be deleted permanently from this world. All in all an OK watch, but the movie is plain bad by any movie standards. Still can be a guilty pleasure and will probably sell with testosterone booming youth.

Well what can I say, if you're going to watch this and you're really into a great epic you'll be disappointed. But if you hold in mind that this came from the makers from American Pie you know what's coming to you.

It's a shame Chris Klein hasn't have his chance to shine on his own because he really isn't a bad actor, he's just getting deals to sh*tty movies I guess.

About the movie, story isn't that deep. Jokes are many based on sex and farts but it's a good movie to kill a rainy Sunday evening with.

The outtakes were the best in my opinion so don't walk raging out of cinema just yet..

Let me just make clear from the start why this movie gets 3/10 stars from me. 1 out of 10 stars would be a movie by people without any knowledge of making movies at all and/or with inhuman content. 2/10 stars is a movie that was made professionally but without anything good or interesting about it. So, technically "The Long Weekend" should be in that category, but let's say Chris Klein's acceptable performance saved it from that rating.

Klein is just about bearable, which can't be said about the rest of this movie. Here's a short guide for aspiring makers of comedies: Tits, fart jokes, sperm or anything vulgar does not automatically equal funny. In fact, most of the time it's the opposite. The makers of "The Long Weekend" don't seem to understand that. They explore every dick joke no matter how predictable and disgusting it is. Actually, that's the best way to describe this movie: predictable, disgusting and let's add incredibly boring to that list of adjectives. The only thing remotely original about this piece of crap are the many blooper videos that are cut in from time to time. No, that's not enough to justify the making of this disaster. Not even close. Consider yourself degenerated if you think this movie is funny!

It's a typical teenage sex comedy film, except in one detail: it mixes to the plot, since the beginning until the end, some weird (sometimes extreme bizarre!) short videotape films (kind of "candid-camera") showing, mainly, animals doing the most absurd and odd things related to sex (animal sex)! This movie turns extremely bizarre and unique because of that… Who had such idea?! That's completely crazy!

Apart of that unusual "detail", it's just a "normal" teenage sex comedy that begins to be very funny, hilarious at parts, but which doesn't end so good… The ending could have been clearly better, because the last ten minutes have almost no fun and don't bring anything new to this genre. It's just a too predictable and conventional ending.

So, the "innovation" of this movie was actuality the odd "detail" of the short "candid-camera" films mixed in the plot!

This movie, as was to be expected isn't really great. Even though it's just another comedy focussing on sex jokes it doesn't even make it in that category.

I don't think it should be compared to American Pie, it's jokes just aren't funny, at all. It's full of homevideo shots of people getting slapped in the face etc. that have to do with the story. It didn't help that once the movie started with a montage of some of these clips 50% of the audience behind me started laughing hysterically. I don't think I've ever heard people laughing so hard. I'm seriously wondering if they were paid to be there.

They didn't make the experience more enjoyable though, although it did make me smile sometimes when ten people behind me were kicking the ground every time someone toppled over. It was really ridiculous.

Anyway, I didn't expect much out of 'The Long Weekend' and I viewed it the way it wants to be viewed, a simple sex comedy. But I still think it's not worth watching it. Or at least paying to go see it at the movies. Of course I saw it at a sneak preview so I can honestly say I didn't know what I was in for.

If you're gonna watch it, make sure you're extremely bored and don't have anything else to do, I guess it can be entertaining under those circumstances.
