Jonny's Sweet Revenge

This will be a movie that in a few years we look back in and see how much talent was on screen. The actors and actresses raw performance & grittiness and subtleties is what takes this movie to a surprising new level.

This is a really funny movie with some ridiculous moments. it never takes itself too seriously which is why IT WORKS.!!!!

At the Houston Comedy Film Festival I was ale to get into this packed screening and it did not disappoint. I honestly laughed out loud which is rare for me when watching a film. Jonny's Sweet Revenge is a bar, which get's held up by a guy who does it only to satisfy his girlfriend.

There are multiple story lines that all revolve around this bar, and it seems everyone is trying to rob it, besides these two bumbling 'Hollywood' wanna be cops which totally stole the show. Between the cops and the 'stoner' dude wanting to open a cobble booth at the farmer's market they made this film, and were standout funny.

I didn't really enjoy the female performances as much as the guys, but they were pretty to look at. Overall Jonny's Sweet Revenge is a solid comedy with some great lines and solid performances. I recommend a watch if you like films like Reservoir Dogs or Guy Richie type films, though Jonny's comes off more of a parody of those films...

To be honest, I was not expecting much from this film. I can say with certainty, I was pleasantly surprised after seeing it.

The plot tends to jump all over the place but that is by design. The characters are all quite abnormal but it lends to the charm and style the film is meant to deliver to the viewer.

There is a lot going on despite (almost) the entire film being shot in a bar setting. Many nuances of the characters change almost in a flowing liquid way. To avoid spoilers, I will just say you don't know what to expect from the characters as they are introduced and things are not as they seem. This is a terrific quality of the plot and a testament to the film maker and the actors alike. There is some amazing "eye candy" for us guys out there, and solid acting by all as well as a great performance by "Adam Sandler films" reprising roles actor Blake Clark, who steals the show towards the end, IMO.

If you are into lighthearted dark comedies that don't take themselves too seriously, with a mix-match of Nutty characters and SubPlots abound, then you will definitely enjoy this film. Give it a go....you won't be disappointed!
