Not all that good but possible worth a watch on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Despite of a cast with some really big names such as Anna Kendrick, Bryan Cranston, Christopher Mintz Plasse, Marcia Gay Harden, Jorge Garcia, John C McGuinly, Brandon T Jackson, Ravi Patel this was filmed in 2012 but it was not released until 2016.

Once you've seen it it's not terribly hard to see why, it tries to squeeze in a little too much than it can handle in a very short running time (74 minutes without credits) to the point that it get a little confusing at times.

Which it's definitely not meant to be as this is meant to be a easy going comedy influenced by 80's coming of age comedies but set in present day.

But it's far from all bad though, there are some seriously funny stand-alone gags and Miles Teller is a pretty good lead and I could have swore he was John Cusack's son (he sure looks like it).

In the end I kind of enjoyed it but I felt like it should have been a lot more fleshed out, not sure if perhaps it was longer at some point and the studio mercilessly cut it down because they felt like it didn't have enough substance to be a 100 minute movie or whatever.

Which caused it to often lack coherence and flow, whatever it may be despite it's flaws I definitely didn't dislike it, it helps if you like the cast, just don't expect a big movie experience.

5.5/10

I'm going to be completely honest, I really enjoy this movie. It's by no means great, but with a sense of humor that I thought worked and the fun charm of Teller, Kendrick, Cranston, Brie, and everyone else here, the film wasn't a complete mess. It could've been a much better movie, but at the end of the day it's a dumb, fun mess that I could watch a couple more times.

Let me start by saying that everything in Get a Job is atrocious except one thing: the acting. If these stars weren't attached to the movie nobody would bat an eye at this thing. It's so awful. I audibly "ugh"-ed when it finished. The message this movie tries to convey is that it's hard to find a job, so you have to stop smoking pot and be determined and never give up and do whatever it takes to get a job. Or don't get a job and be an entrepreneur. The movie throws that one in at the end. A stupid message in the first place because, hey, not everyone has the same circumstances. This type of movie can only resonate with a niche crowd, but worse than that the writing is just dreadful. Cringe-City is what this movie should've been called. I felt bad for Miles Teller having to deliver these cliché lines like, "Never stop believing." Sorry Get a Job but I learned that lesson from Journey a long time ago. Bryan Cranston and Alison Brie try to have fun in their roles, and they really brighten up the mood, but it isn't nearly enough. Anna Kendrick is forced into this shell of a character who gets fired and can't get back on her feet so she succumbs to the evils of weed and laziness. When Anna Kendrick can't be adorable for every second she's on screen, then you know you have a problem.

The problem is literally everything else. The writing, the directing, the editing, the f*cking music, it all SUCKS. It's painful. It's one of those movies where you know if the actors weren't already attached to the project, it would've never been made. But the money was there so they hired great actors and they forgot about the rest of the crew so they got people on the street to do direct and their pet cat to write and who needs an editor anyway? The cat can do it! It's like an amateur film at points. I'll be honest, I chuckled a couple of times. And by a couple of times I mean it. I chuckled twice. Maybe smiled a few more times, but for a majority of Get a Job I was either cringing or frustrated at the fact that it was even greenlit and released. This movie... just...

UGH.

Get a job! It's a simple sentence, but it gives rise to many difficult questions. (What kind of job do I want? Where do I look to find the right one? How do I get them to hire me?) And then, when you get a job, there's another set of challenges. (How do I do this job? What indignities am I willing to suffer to keep this job? When do I move on and try to get a better job?) Sometimes, the job you get doesn't work out and you have to start asking those same questions all over again. An all-star cast of well-known movie and TV actors deals with these issues – and others, in the well-titled comedy "Get a Job" (R, 1:23).

Will (Miles Teller), Ethan (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), Charlie (Nicholas Braun) and Luke (Brandon T. Jackson) are pot-smoking, video game playing L.A. housemates who have recently graduated from college. The four of them, as well as Will's girlfriend, Jillian (Anna Kendrick) are at various stages of trying to figure out how best to make money in the world of grown-ups. Charlie is about to start a job as a junior high school science teacher (for which he seems quite unqualified) and basketball coach (ditto). Luke's dream is to work as a stock broker, but his entry-level position working in the firm managed by Mr. Diller (John C. McGinley) has Luke taking orders for just about everything but stocks. Ethan believes he's going to make his way in the world by developing and selling a smart-phone app called "IstalkU".

But the main focus of the movie is on Teller's character. As the movie opens, Will believes he has turned two summers of unpaid interning at the L.A. Weekly into a full-time job as their new tech writer… until one of the editors (John Cho) tells him differently. Will gets a job as a night-shift desk clerk in a cheap hotel run by an unscrupulous hotel manager (Marc Maron), but that job only lasts until local pimp "Skeezy D" (Jay Pharoah) messes things up for Will. Surprisingly, however, Will's association with Skeezy D indirectly helps him secure a great job as a videographer for a firm which producers video resumes and secures interviews for people seeking upper-level management positions. Will convinces Lawrence Willheimer (Bruce Davison) to hire him, but he soon finds out that taking orders from harsh and demanding CEO Katherine Dunn (Marcia Gay Harden) and dealing with sexual advances from a co-worker (Alison Brie) makes the job a little less desirable than he first thought it would be. A mysteriously omnipresent janitor (Jorge Garcia) ends up helping Will out, but while Will is trying to navigate the choppy waters of interoffice politics, he also has to deal with the fallout from both his girlfriend and his father (Bryan Cranston) losing their respective jobs – and the misadventures of his friends on their jobs.

This is a rather unusual movie in a few different ways. It's a comedy, but delivers an important message to its target audience. Although the challenge of getting and keeping a good job is seen through the eyes of several people at different stages of their working lives, the focus is on the generation known as the Millenials. Characters within this generation that is often derided for a sense of entitlement and lack of motivation are shown learning necessary lessons that will equip them for success in the future, while remaining true to themselves and pursuing their dreams. The film's ability to simultaneously validate, teach and encourage Millenials is unusual, but so is the amount of time this film took to get to theaters.

"Get a Job" was filmed in early 2012. Anna Kendrick said in a 2014 interview that the film had encountered "distribution problems". Whatever the specific reasons for the delay, it's interesting to note that in the four years between this movie being shot and made available to the public, these are just some of the projects that a few of the main cast filmed AND saw released: "Fantastic Four", "Whiplash", "The Spectacular Now" and three "Divergent" films (Teller); "Cake", "Into the Woods" and "Pitch Perfect 2" (Kendrick); "How to Be Single", "Get Hard", "Sleeping with Other People" and "The Lego Movie" (Brie); "Neighbors", "Kick-Ass 2" and "This is the End" (Mintz-Plasse); "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot", "How to Be Single", "The Stanford Prison Experiment", and "Poltergeist" (Braun); "Fifty Shades of Grey", "Grandma" and "Parkland" (Harden); plus "Kung Fu Panda 3", "Trumbo", "Godzilla" and the end of "Breaking Bad" (Cranston). Just sayin'.

Whether the delay in the film's release, or the low scores it has received on various websites, raise too many red flags to ignore is, of course, up to the individual Movie Fan, but this Movie Fan is giving "Get a Job" a moderate recommendation. The cast is easy of the eyes and fun to watch. The story is a bit disjointed and is a little short on laughs, but it's often charming and approaches real issues with truth and compassion. The movie tells its tale in a meaningful and pretty entertaining way. "B"

How the likes of Miles Teller, Anna Kendrick, Bryan Cranston, Marcia Gay Harden, Alison Brie, John C. McGinley, and Brandon T. Jackson, all most talented actors, can be in such a stinkeroo is a mystery to me. I'm no prude, but when a film is incredibly vulgar and mean-spirited and the intended humor falls flat as a pancake it just becomes torturous to watch. The customary 180 at the end of the film was way too little and way too late.

I saw some reviewers state that this movie was "in the can" for 4 years before being released. Why inflict us now? I guess this is a puzzle only the filmmakers can know the answer to.

Get a Job was a mediocre comedy movie staring Miles Teller and his girlfriend Anna Kendrick as recent college graduates who have a hard time getting decent jobs. We could all relate one way or another, where we are lost at sea till someone or something helps us along the way. The characters discover that the most important adventures are those you don't see coming. Bryan Cranston played Mikes' father as he loses his job along the way and hides his secret from his family. The all star cast also included Allison Brie as part of middle management associate, Brandon Jackson and Christopher Mintz-Piasse as Teller's roommates who are also jobless. Marcia Gay Harden is the over the top CEO, Jorge Garcia as the janitor, Jay Pharoah as the sleepy pimp, a brief appearance by John Cho, as well as John C. McGinley and Bruce Davidson. If it wasn't for the cast, I wouldn't have watched it but it was okay to watch once.

Well, it's not super, super funny, but at least it's enjoyable. The jokes made are not that bad, but there was room for improvement. I expected to get a lot of laughter and my desires were not satisfied. I guess we can just throw it into the commercial series section and just forget about it.

This film delayed its release for a couple of years due to the distribution issues. That's not it, the film is no good, the writing was terrible, but a bunch of good actors in it. It is about the recent college graduates who struggles to get a job, even if they do, finds hard to fit in. A very good theme, but they failed to draw a decent storyline for it. I think they knew the film won't get a good response, so they used 'distribution issue' card to hold it back, but now it's out and the result was as expected.

It should have been called a drama than the comedy, because right now it lacks from those two categories. It digs on the topics like workplace bullying, harassment, as well as the youngsters' addiction to drugs and video games. In one of the scenes it emotionally appeals when the father tries to pay the bill in a restaurant. They had the right content, but lost in the translation to the screen. There's no proper flow in the story, they had tried too much, at a time it all remained very plain.

This is the second film to release in this year for Anna Kendrick and both of them did no good for her, especially this film fell short from a long distance. Same goes for Miles Teller and Bryan Cranston. I hope they all forget it and come strong in their next projects. A few people might like it, but not me. I like quality contents where this film is not one. Thankfully it was short, but only thing is it was not sweet.

3/10

it was amusing for what it was a low budget film it had a few good points had a few bad points the plot was kinda stupid but its kinda a feel good movie, would i go buy the movie on DVD/blu ray no probably not re watch value is low but is a good enough movie to rent if your wanting a good feel good movie. the only reason it only gets 8 out of 10 stars is because the lack of a real solid plot/story line, yes it does hurt the movie some but in this day and age with movies coming out like crazy its only to be expected that the plot/story lines will be a little thin on some of them for a movie that was made in 2012 and was told it would never see the light of day i think it was well not bad i have seen worse movies but have seen better too i guess what i am getting to is don't go into it expecting a lot from it like i said its a feel good movie its not top of the line Hollywood grade A+ stuff but it does pull off what it is and it does not try to be anything else,

...Unless they decided to fart around with some rooks, wannabes and others trying to make a name for themselves. A chosen few actors picked their scripts, the rest needed a job. Movie isn't very funny, though what I do think was very funny was the fact these 4 seasoned actors more than likely did decide to fart around.

"Maybe we're not all geniuses. So we're not the greatest generation. So what. These are our lives and we're gonna make the most of them." Will Davis (Teller) has finally graduated college and is ready to attack the world, with the help of his parents. When is dad loses his job and Will has to support himself he realizes things aren't as easy as he was hoping. Now him, his friends and his girlfriend Jillian (Kendrick) must face a world that none of them are prepared for. I will start off by saying this is nothing all that original or amazing and won't win any awards. That said, the movie is hilarious and one that is easy and fun to watch. Something I could watch over and over. Miles Teller has great timing and made me laugh through out. The movie deals with real and serious topics in a way that you don't realize they are being brought up until you are like...oh yeah, that makes sense. There really isn't a whole lot to say about this one other than if you are looking for a light-hearted comedy that actually has a message this is one to definitely pick up and watch. As funny as Teller is, Alison Brie really steals the movie and I wish she was in it more. Overall, a hilarious and fun movie that you can watch over and over. I give this a B+.

Will Davis (Miles Teller) and Jillian Stewart (Anna Kendrick) are a recent graduate couple with jobs lined up. It's an overconfident generation where every little accomplishment is greeted with rewards. Will's first paying job at LA Weekly is greeted with downsizing. He and his roommates are weed-smoking video-gamers. Luke (Brandon T. Jackson) starts at a trading firm. Ethan (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) has a questionable internet idea. Charlie (Nicholas Braun) is a teacher. Will gets a motel night manager job and quickly gets fired. His dad (Bryan Cranston) also gets downsized and faces the new landscape. Tanya Sellers (Alison Brie) is an inappropriate manager and Katherine Dunn (Marcia Gay Harden) is the strict VP.

There are so many good young actors and skilled veterans in the cast. None of the characters are worth rooting for. There are too many of them and with too many stories. There are lots of attempts at humor but few actual laughs. It has to be the fault of the writers and director. Even the basic premise of a generation of underachievers being rewarded is questionable. Neither Will nor Jillian is presented as slackers. Ethan is delusional and only Charlie truly fits the premise. In fact, Charlie brings the premise to its conclusion. This is so scattered that nothing sticks. If these actors weren't so good, this would really suck.

There's a reason as to why this film was released years after its filming date and went straight to video. It's quite a mess of a comedy. Featuring a little too many characters (most of which we don't care about) trying to get jobs just isn't entertaining. The comedy is just forced, is either gross out and silly and in no way clever- very standard and a little too "try-hard" for its R rating.

The film has the feel of a sitcom comedy (perhaps there is/has been a sitcom with this exact same type of plot/story). Thankfully the film isn't long as it's less than 1 hour 20 minutes (excluding end credits). Certainly just a one time watch.

I was in no hurry to watch this film, but when I did, I was surprised by it.

I don't really care for Miles Teller, and Anna Kendrick I can kind of take or leave, but this movie has a lot of actors and familiar faces that I like.

When I heard it had sat around for multiple years, I didn't even think I'd finish it, (With a lot of movies, I don't) but I did! It had a good pace, and some laugh out loud moments. I feel like it had a good message in the end, as well, about finding a job you like, and following your dreams.

Was it Earth shattering? The funniest comedy you'll watch all year? Nah, but it's about as good as most comedic films you'll see in a year. I would, actually, recommend it to those looking for a chuckle. It's nowhere near as bad as you might think it is. Give it a try.

I am sorry to see the poor reviews. Get a Job is a bit shallow but has some good laughs in it. A group of young slackers hope to find work but apart from playing ultimate Frisbee and HALO they don't have a lot of skills. Brian Cranston is also job hunting and provides that older point of view where no-one will interview him. The actual job hunting is not really covered in depth. That's because it is the setup to a number of situational jokes. Which kept me watching and lsughing. The characters are successful more through luck, and there is a bit of shallow (and untrye) philosophy at the end. But it doesn't detract from this short tightly edited comedy.

A university graduate has to find a job to pay the rent and get his girlfriend off his back.

The premise is simple enough and all the characters are set up to make this an entertaining movie. The film boasts an excellent line up. All lights are green.

I cannot give this movie a full review as I could not bare to sit through the whole thing. It is just not funny. I cannot even tell you why? But it is like watching a stand-up comedian die on stage, for over an hour.

All the ingredients for a comedy are here, they just don't work. The scenes with the stoners are boring and flat, their hapless attempts at getting a career are just stupid - yet not funny. The stripper scene, even with perky boobs on display, is tedious and dull.

Alison Bree's character is bland and caustic, and only there so we can hear awkward, sexual references come from the mouth of a pretty woman - what a waste.

I have never seen a film with so much talent be so painfully bland. As we watched - in stony silence - I actually started to feel embarrassed for the actors and just had to switch off. I have not had to do this for some time.

This is a mediocre comedy with a ridiculously stacked cast. Not since Movie 43 have there been so many great actors in a comedy that is just plain not funny. Although in this case it is not because the film is outlandish and crude, it is just kind of dull. The stellar actors in this movie get nothing to do for the most part and it reads more like a paint-by-numbers early 2000s comedy where it seems to be giving out scudo-philosophies on life, while mostly getting things wrong and not really saying much of anything of actual note.

Here is the thing though, it's a film about the compromises that promising people make for money and what is expected of them and when you look at the cast and the quality of the film you realise that it is a perfect metaphor for the themes of the movie. Did the filmmaker intend to send a message about the compromise of growing up and working with the movie itself?! If so then it is a subversive masterpiece that they slipped by studios to become a real life example of the modern day problems it is supposed to highlight.

Overall I don't think this is actually the case, you can still take it as an example of how great actors get roped into doing a bland script through promise of money and meaning, but apart from that it is only one to watch for the cast, just don't expect to laugh or really feel much of anything by the end. Solid 'Eh'.

What a waste of talent! Bryan, did you really need the money? Didn't you think about your career? This LA based loony tune of a film starts off bad and rapidly descends like an airplane heading for the ground. I gave it two stars only cause Cranston was in it. How embarrassing it must've been for him. The writers are talentless. This is a film that should never have been made.

This is no worse than Free Guy or the Ted movies, it has a stellar cast who are all just doing what they do best. There's an unhurried charm to this movie, like the entire cast is just letting it freewheel downhill, and that's its charm, it really isn't the type of movie that you want people going all Alan Rickman over, this is 100% solid typical American movie, and all the better for that. Miles Teller and Brian Cranston are incredibly solid, it would have been nice to have more from Anna Kendrick and I think she was perhaps a little let down by the writing, but there are moments when she is almost allowed to shine. Plus, the supporting actors are great, its always a pleasure when there is consistency throughout a movie, and there are so many little cameos here that are solid. If people hate this move because it's formulaic, then so are 95% of all American movies and many of those are worth a 7 or 8 out of ten for the same reason as this movie. I understand it had a troubled production history, so perhaps it got a bad reputation even before it was released and then all the critics just jumped on the band wagon, but basically this is a solid movie, with a great cast who are enjoying themselves and with really good supporting actors.

'GET A JOB': Four Stars (Out of Five)

A 'slacker millennials' comedy flick; about a group of recent college graduates, desperately trying to make it in the adult working class world. It stars Miles Teller, Bryan Cranston, Anna Kendrick, Nicholas Braun, Brandon T. Jackson, Christopher Mintz- Plasse, Marcia Gay Harden, Alison Brie, Bruce Davison and Jorge Garcia. The film was directed by Dylan Kidd, and written by first time screenwriters Kyle Pennekamp and Scott Turpel. It was filmed, and completed, four years prior to it's release (due to distribution problems); and it's received almost entirely negative reviews from critics as well. Despite these problems, I really enjoyed it!

Will Davis (Teller) recently graduated from college, and worked his ass off at a summer internship (for free), only to have his promised job position taken from him; by his lying greedy (would be) employers. His friends, and roommates, all struggle with their jobs as well; but his father (Cranston), and his girlfriend (Kendrick), nag him to find employment. Then the tables are turned, and his dad and gf are both out of work, while Will has a promising new job.

I don't understand the negative reviews at all! I think they're mostly due to the troubled (delayed) releasing of the film, which isn't the movie's fault, and then also the film's strong liberal message (that actually makes millennials look good, and greedy employers look bad). Most millennials are hard working, don't just want free stuff, and they actually have it a lot harder than most of their parents did (times are much tougher now); as this film nicely illustrates. Besides that, the movie is just fun to watch, upbeat (despite it's negative subject matter) and funny (at times). The performances are all good, the directing is decent, and it's just a fun time at the movies (with a positive message to boot)!

This movie was entertaining. Nowhere near as bad as some are saying. Get a Job doesn't take it self too seriously. From the get go the pace of the film keeps constant and at no time did it feel like it slowed down. It has a lot of heart and its not a movie that has jokes coming at you from left and right non stop through out the movie but the story telling and the comedy that it does have is more than enough.

It relies more on its story telling than its comedy which i found to be a good thing. All actors and actresses worked well together and the acting was very solid. It was exactly what i needed on a Friday night as i said earlier it has a lot of heart and at the end the movie entertained me and was a lot of fun. If i had to describe the movie i would say its a feel good movie. Its message at the end really hit home with me, the music used through out the movie worked and complimented the movie when needed. For what it is it did not disappoint.

I really cannot express how disappointing it is to have a film with such talented young actors and have it squandered on this piece of film-garbage. There is a whole slew of supporting cast that deserve so much better than to appear in such an uninspired sequence of events. Every character is a stereotypical punch-line waiting to happen. Even an appearance from the legendary John C. Mcginley's Dr. Cox Whistle is not enough to save this plodding, depressing mess.

Seeing Walter White out of work is about as thrilling as remembering that he used to be Malcolm in the Middle's dad.

I do, however, want to commend the filmmakers for attempting (admittedly with poor results) to address the frustration and actual difficulties faced by today's generation, and realise that it isn't all about being spoiled... Until that Hollywood ending shows us it is just that.
