This movie kept us laughing though the whole thing! We were looking forward to seeing Labine after falling in love with Tucker and Dale vs Evil and were not disappointed. I think we all have a "Barry" in our life so it was easy to relate to and fall in love with the character.
It was raunchy but so funny, comic timing by Labine and cast was perfect! Punch was hilarious and there were some great cameos.
Typical,predictable storyline, but the acting and comedy was superb! We truly enjoyed the movie and were disappointed that it did not get better reviews. Common reviewers, it is what it is! Pure comedy genius :)

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!!
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.

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.

This is just a straight up fun film. Tyler Labine and Lucy Punch together are amazing. They keep you laughing the entire time. If you need a laugh go this this immediately! Damon Wayans Jr., Thomas Middleditch, and Hayes McArthur also put together solid supporting roles. Ed Helms (of Hangover fame and the TV show The Office) had a very funny cameo. What makes this comedy different and special is the endearing love story. When you push aside all of the inappropriateness and lewd behavior, Barry and Mel are very cute together and that comes out in their strong performances. It is a take on the old saying, "there's someone for everyone". Very very fun film. A must see.
