Détestables nous

This film tells the story of a socially awkward man who meets a woman who is completely compatible with him.

"Someone Marry Barry" is a romantic comedy with a twist. The protagonist is a rude, juvenile and very annoying man, and everything he touches turns into dust. Despite him being so unlikable, he is still adorable and charming because he is genuine and fun loving. I have this interesting ambivalence of feelings towards him, which makes the film engaging.

"Someone Marry Barry" is an entertaining romantic comedy. I did not find it offensive or rude, even though the contents are offensive or rude. It manages to find the right tone and balance between humour and rudeness, it's offensive and rude in a non-offensive way. I enjoyed watching it.

Another evening browsing the unknowns on Sky Movies and I find my way to this little gem.

I knew nothing about it beforehand and had no idea what to expect - having been sorely let down by previous American comedies of recent years I really wasn't expecting anything to enjoy.

Some highlights - The taxi ride from the restaurant, it was well written and introduced 'twunt' to my vocabulary -and "Chugga Chugga Chugga Choo Choo" !! It's not laugh out loud all the way through and certainly not completely 'gross-out' as advertised. But it is a very real kind of humour that most people do as part of everyday life, or think about at least - "What do you think I do in the bathroom every morning - I masturbate for an hour with your electric tooth brush - it's more powerful than mine!" - from the main female character!

Lucy Punch is the highlight of the film for me, she has the style and flow of a slapstick actress who isn't afraid to push the boat with a distinct British comedic feel - why does she remind me of a female Simon Pegg?! Besides the main storyline of Barry Burke and Melanie Miller we see the love lives or lack of them from Barry's friends and although not necessary to see, it does add a fresh level to the movie which is nice to see - it also makes for some very funny situational comedy when they go away together.

It does have a low production quality which is a shame as I feel a bigger budget would have done this film better. Yet, the script is very good and there are some VERY funny moments in there, especially the dynamics between the two main characters and their 'better living' friends.

If you've got nothing else to watch and you're looking for a good comedy film that is different from the rest, then you can't go wrong with this.

We have all known this person, the kind that just doesn't care less about what anyone else thinks....even though the humor is way nasty at times we couldn't help laughing our heads off throughout the entire flick....of course while we were enjoying the laughter the high level grossness was also making us shake our heads, scrunch our noses think EEEWWWWWWWWW!! All while actually saying out loud OMFG!! Definitely worth seeing if you have the stomach for things like this....would def stay away from kids and farrrr away from any kind of first dates or newer relationships unless crude humor is the type of comedies someone one has particularly shown an interest in....Enjoy!!

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. :-)
