Casting Couch

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.

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.

After reading through the other reviews, having watched this one a few days ago I thought I should chime in. It's pretty clear that people have a mixed reaction to this one. Love, hate, and like me, middle of the road.

Is this a good movie? Yes. Is it a great movie. No. Is it worth the time it takes to watch it? If you are just hanging around bored I would say yes, should you postpone important plans to watch this ASAP? No, definitely not. It is funny, it does have hot girls, the story is a bit uninspired but hasn't every single iteration of every comedy ever made already been churned out? Compared to a lot of trashcan garbage I have been seeing lately this was a welcome change to be honest.

This has got to be one of the worst films I have ever watched!!!

I was soo bored because it never got interesting and half of the actors were terrible, it was like they were reading the script instead of actually ACTING out the script. If this was done on good actors then I would actually have enjoyed it because the story line itself is a good idea. But it was like I was forcing myself to watch it simply because I felt like it had to get better I kept saying to myself 'Its going to get better' But sadly it didn't. I don't understand how the lead actor got that role I mean I can act better than that, I felt sooo annoyed at the fact that it was completely too fake, and the main actor especially could not act. My stress levels were really high watching this! I think I silently laughed once throughout the whole thing.

I wouldn't waste your time on this nothing interesting at all, after watching nearly all of it I had to click off it because it was that awful.

And if you do decide to watch it you will realise what I mean with the actors not being able to act! ('You had one job') .

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.
