Looking at the cast, it looks like more of a private joke they cooked up (no pun intended) over a drunken weekend.
Can't see this sustaining a whole movie.
Didn't laugh once at the trailer.
At least Anomalisa has some interesting ideas along with the swearing and the sex.
They are almost getting as bad as Sandler and his ilk. When will this madness stop?
Agreed, they're getting more and more puerile.
Hopefully will be great
Anyway, long story short, keep an eye on this, apparently the trailers don't do it justice in any sense of the word.
But without that knowledge, I thought it was a decent trailer, about the kinda material you'd expect from Seth Rogen and Co. Although, I have to say, I did majorly roll my eyes at Seth's sausage character smoking weed though, like, seriously? Does his contract now say he won't do a movie unless he gets a self-indulgent scene of his character smoking weed?
Come on, the thing with the flour was funny.
Highly offensive, vulgar and immature (and I mean highly) but also funny. The plot isn't Shakespeare but it's not throw-away either; there's a few interesting ideas there. Basically though it's 90% food-based sex jokes (which you'd expect from the title ;-)) combined with a lengthy discussion of the nature of religion (which you probably wouldn't expect).
I think one problem with the film is that Pixar has conditioned us to expect a lot from animated films and this clearly is just happy being a stoner comedy.
Edit - Just saw that the box office is currently sitting at $104m - which isn't bad for an R rated movie which cost $20m to make.
and lots of swearing a dirty jokes.
Out of interest, why did you go and see it if you're not a fan of Seth Rogen ?
Well it's already grossed more than 5 times it's budget - so not so much of a vanity project.
But yeah, why bother watching it if you're not a fan?
But the problem is that you can have too much of it, and it would need skill and talent to maintain that type of humour and keep it funny for the length of a feature film.
If the film itself doesn't work well as a narrative that puerile humour will probably get more irritating than other types of humour would.
It's an interesting script as well. There are long parts about belief in religion and questioning that belief as well which I thought was surprisingly intelligent for such a crude film.
And that end scene as well .. *covers eyes*
The biggest laugh it got in our screening was when the toilet paper goes "you don't want to know what it does with me". :rolls eyes: otherwise the cinema was quiet to small chuckles throughout.
