Casting Couch

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.

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.

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.

At the bottom end of the evolutionary and intellectual scale, you have those creatures who are literally too stupid to remember to breathe unless reminded to do so - and this movie appears to have been created by and for them.

It's not even (as many appear to be trying to suggest) a movie about socially-awkward but otherwise intelligent folk (i.e., "nerds") trying to connect with the mainstream world - these characters are the most annoying, spoilt wastes of oxygen that you could possibly imagine. Next to them, Paris Hilton seems like a well-adjusted regular human. These literally are the characters who couldn't even get a job "flipping burgers," as the phrase goes, because they're so utterly incapable of thought.

If you made the mistake of paying to view this, you'll be kicking yourself for quite a while.

Can't imagine why anyone would want to watch this crap... i sure didn't want to see it ... any doofus can cast a movie .. my no one can make a doofus movie but a doofus ...the star bored me to death before the first words came from his mouth...another high school jammer
