Someone Marry Barry

I was looking for a comedy my wife and I could enjoy together......this is definitely not it. I think the actors all did the best with what they were given, but the material was so juvenile and crude to save it. Too bad because the premise, while trite had promise. Barry & Mel had seemingly no redeeming qualities to keep me interested.

This is just a straight up fun film. Tyler Labine and Lucy Punch together are amazing. They keep you laughing the entire time. If you need a laugh go this this immediately! Damon Wayans Jr., Thomas Middleditch, and Hayes McArthur also put together solid supporting roles. Ed Helms (of Hangover fame and the TV show The Office) had a very funny cameo. What makes this comedy different and special is the endearing love story. When you push aside all of the inappropriateness and lewd behavior, Barry and Mel are very cute together and that comes out in their strong performances. It is a take on the old saying, "there's someone for everyone". Very very fun film. A must see.

When you set out to make a character annoying, you need to make sure that they aren't so annoying that it becomes tiresome to watch. The writers for "Someone Marry Barry" did not achieve this.

I can understand crude comedy. I have laughed at plenty of fart jokes in my time. But Barry and Mel play characters so who are so annoying and unnecessarily crude that it just becomes hard to watch. I found myself cringing way more often than I was laughing, and not the funny "Office" or "Curb Your Enthusiasm" cringing, but more cringing at how bad the writing is or how flat the jokes are landing.

I'm giving it a 3 just because the actors do seem to genuinely be trying to salvage something from this film. I like Labine, Wayans Jr., and Middleditch. And Amanda Lund had us chuckling a couple of times, but the writing was just so poor that none of the charisma from the actors helped.

It might just not be my kind of comedy, or maybe I was just in the mood for something a little smarter. Or... no, this movie just kind of sucked. Trying to shock you with dirty words, or scenes that are not funny but just ridiculous on paper do not constitute good writing or good comedy.

Tired of watching the same ole same ole? This is different the plot is similar to other comedies like this but the acting is top notch! & the script is great, its NOT something to sit in front of a log fire with grandma and the kids on a Saturday night! So be aware of that there is a lot of adult talk! I wont go into the plot and story but i have to hand it to the actors I've watched films for year decades and i found the acting in this was really amazing you never see any signs of weakness or bad acting throughout the film! Without been rude to the actors what i liked about this is all the actors where not like normal actors in films where everything is airbrushed or perfect models these guys are all nice looking above average but not materialistic or too false looking which helped a lot with the realism of the film, I've seen them all American Pie's Porkies National Lampoons but this is a modern day laugh a minute film its a bit hardcore but they pull it off, i would give this 8.5/10 & i cant accept anyone would give it any less it is simply worth that credit all week long! well done to the cast well made fantastic acting and actors you all really did a great job. :-)

This film tells the story of a socially awkward man who meets a woman who is completely compatible with him.

"Someone Marry Barry" is a romantic comedy with a twist. The protagonist is a rude, juvenile and very annoying man, and everything he touches turns into dust. Despite him being so unlikable, he is still adorable and charming because he is genuine and fun loving. I have this interesting ambivalence of feelings towards him, which makes the film engaging.

"Someone Marry Barry" is an entertaining romantic comedy. I did not find it offensive or rude, even though the contents are offensive or rude. It manages to find the right tone and balance between humour and rudeness, it's offensive and rude in a non-offensive way. I enjoyed watching it.
