Game Over, Man!

This film tells the story of three loser waiters who are caught up in a deadly hostage situation in the hotel they work in.

Oh wow, "Game Over, Man!" is really bad, but it is really funny. The characters are stupid, the jokes are super crude, and for a comedy it actually is unbelievably gory. The jokes make your eyes roll in disbelief, but they work. I say this film is a guilty pleasure, and people would not admit they find funny!

If you love lowbrow, vulgar, puerile idiotic humor, and especially if you like Workaholics, this is for you. If you don't, it isn't. So giving it a bad review simply means you don't like that sort of humor, not that it's a bad movie.

3 housekeepers in a hotel must embrace their inner heroes when terrorists take over the building Nakatomi Plaza style

Starring the obnoxiously annoying Adam Devine and a host of cameo appearances from Steve-O to Donald Faison to Mark Cuban this is a slapstick Hollywood comedy that simply wasn't funny enough.

Game Over, Man! could be broken down into three categories.

1) The moments that are funny 2) The moments that are too annoying to be funny 3) The moments that are too serious to be funny

Sadly 2 & 3 combined make up the majority of the film and though there were a few laughs to be had there simply wasn't enough for a feature film.

I've always said that Hollywood has lost its way when it comes to comedy. The reason being the formula they use, it's almost as if they are taking drama scripts throwing a few jokes in and calling them comedies. I thought based on the trailer this would be a rare exception and would be wall to wall silliness and jokes but it falls into the same pitfall. I don't want angst I want laughs!

Game Over, Man! isn't terrible it just struggles with a patchy script, an undeserving cast and the above Hollywood tropes.

The Good:

Some laughs to be had

The Bad:

Adam Devine

Needless animal death

Not consistently funny enough

Don't listen to the negative reviews, the movie is a lot of fun. It's vulgar, obscene, full of crude and almost surreal situations. It is what it should be. FUN, FUN, and FUN. But since there a scene where they kill a dog, everybody is condemning the movie. "Disgusting". AS IF! As if thousand of Hollywood movies containing millions of murders and atrocities of any kinds, video games based exclusively on killing people, are perfectly OK but the fictional death of a chihuahua is just to much to accept. Somebody in the reviews called it INHUMANE CRUELTY, nothing less. That's the level of movie critique we find here. Thank you very much.

If you've seen Workaholics this is movie is exactly what you'd expect it to be. Its stupid humor, if thats not your thing you won't enjoy it.
