Someone Marry Barry

I see there aren't many reviews for this movie yet. Therefore I should let you know that this is a funny but very crude comedy. Definitely not for the kids. You don't even need to be a prude to be offended by this; I think any normal person probably *should* be offended by the antics of Barry, a chubby party animal, and his socially inappropriate girlfriend Mia, played by Lucy Punch.

Tyler Labine handles the lead role with confidence, and whose career looks ready to blast off. Lucy Punch is also very effective as Barry's partner in crime.

The film loses a lot of steam in the second half. But there's a steady drumbeat of funny situations to keep you entertained, sort of like watching The Simpsons. Have fun.

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.

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.

Tyler Labine is Barry, the really annoying pal to Desmond, Rafe, and Kurt (Wayans Junior, MacArthur, and Middleditch). This movie is and will be exactly what you expect. Hayes MacArthur sounds just like Michael Keaton. So the friends decide to hook Barry up with someone. Anyone. They try dating services. They try marrying euro-women. Lots of swearing! And when he meets a chick just as tacky and rude as he is, it's love at first sight! Lucy Punch is Melanie, who can dish it out as well as Barry! So the gang all goes off on a weekend getaway. And it all blows up. Can the friends all recover, as they go through their various personal issues? Its corny. And okay. It's a cross between an adam sandler and a bachelor party in vegas. Written and directed by Rob Pearlstein. This appears to be his first full length film directed. He was nominated for best short film in 2006.

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. :-)
