Casting Couch

This film begins with a young man by the name of "Justin" (Justin Smith) complaining about his inability to attract members of the opposite sex. So, to remedy that problem, he and some of his colleagues decide to make a fake movie in order to attract single females during the audition process. To that effect, the film itself is told in a documentary fashion in order to capture the thoughts of everyone involved in this fiasco from start-to-finish. So much for the plot. Now, as far as the actual movie is concerned, although there were a number of nice-looking actresses involved, I can't say that their presence honestly helped in any way due to the bland script and the incredibly shallow format. To be totally frank, this movie was neither funny, sexy or even remotely interesting. At least not to me. But then, I graduated from the 7th grade many years ago. That being said, unless a person enjoys low-class humor of this sort, this is not a picture that I would recommend and I have rated it accordingly.

Here's a fun one. Poorly made, very poorly made. But it does it's job.

Some guys make a fake movie to meet chicks. Great idea!

It is what it is

A bunch of losers with no movie experience or talent make a film in order to meet girls. That's not the plot...that's what this movie IS. There's only two reasons to sit through a movie like this...boobs and jokes, of which there are none. Well, since I stomached most of the "unrated" version I think I actually saw a couple of boobs....but unless played-out, 1980's Urkle-esque jokes are your thing, there isn't a laugh to be had in the whole movie. There are some great, clever independent films out there with poor production value so I really don't judge on that. But the writing felt like it was done by middle school guys and the acting is almost a parody of itself. Not only isn't it worth seeing, it's not worth reviewing...but I sort of had to since there was one review here that was clearly written by someone associated with them film. No one, and I mean no one, else could find any value in this turkey.

I can't really emphasis enough how dude-bro generic most of the jokes are in this comedy. That's not to say that it isn't occasionally funny, it's just that almost every joke revolves around boobs or being gay, so it is pretty basic.

If you like American Pie style humour, but don't care about the use of any actual known actors or having a budget, then this is a decent enough watch. Also if you just want to see some hot women who aren't really given any purpose beyond being there to look at then this will be a fine movie for you.

Overall it was mildly amusing, while being extremely predictable and childish. It did get a little annoying being that it was so basic but it seemed like the makers of the movie thought they were doing something really original and kept trying to reinforce that. Apart from that it is an okay watch, just don't expect a great story, deep characters or outlandish laughs. Passable.

Casting Couch is a film where not much is to be taken place, and not to watch the film taken it serious. It is a documentary style film which works in its favor. The film is straight forward and it did have several decent moments. The plot of course could have been better, and since the film was R rated and unrated they could have taken more advantage of the opportunity. In these straight to video films, audiences look for clever jokes and subtle nudity which there were very few in between. It played as an amateur video experience with a few friends but they film fell short. Although one should not have high expectations n a film like this and just watch it to pass time.
