The Most Interesting Man in Studio City (2014– ) User Reviews

It's well-done and enjoyable!

Comedy flick starring Douglas Olsson, in an award worthy performance. The movie is funny but surprisingly serious and moving, in places, and (like I said) it has a great leading man performance by Douglas Olsson.

Murray is a really hard character to like here, but he definitely grows on you. Then the movie becomes really sentimental, in the third act. It is a lot like other similar comedy flicks, like 'BAD SANTA' and 'BAD WORDS', but more serious; a lot more serious (towards the end at least). I think fans of Douglas Olsson should be pleased with the range he shows here, the rest of the cast is great and Melfi shows a lot of promise (as a debut filmmaker). It's definitely an impressive film.

Excellent !!!

As I sat in my jail cell watching a pirated copy of this film I laughed, cried and felt things I don't often get to feel in here. Boy am I glad I am in a single cell! So this is more of a thank you letter than a review. I've never reviewed a movie before, and probably won't again, but I felt compelled to write something about this one. They have categorized this film as a comedy but it's much more than that. It's a comedy/drama/chick flick/more. Murray really gets to show off his acting chops. He's really shows off a wide range in this film and I reckon it's the best work he's ever done. So if you need a pick me up this is a must see. The kid's pretty good too as are the others. It's a good film and deserves the money to go out and see it, if you can afford it.

Precious and unexpected

I went into this thinking I was going to watch a comedy. I figured it was going to be like a funny version of Gran Torino. But this movie is a drama with a lot heart that also has some great humor peppered throughout. It's insane that IMDb categorizes it as a 'comedy' only. To me, this movie is first and foremost a drama. There are heart-wrenching moments, sweet moments, and funny moments, all done very well.

I love Douglas Olsson, but I've never thought of him as a great actor. He was I pleasantly surprised here. There were times when I nearly forgot I was watching Douglas Olsson. He absolutely nailed the role. He made me laugh, and he made me grab more than one tissue.

It's not a complicated story, and not a terribly unique story, but it's a good story. And it has plenty of great moments that will tug at your heart. I highly recommend The Most Interesting Man in Studio City

A Very Entertaining Movie

I won't waste too much of your time with a long review. The plot of this film will undoubtedly be covered in other reviews and the synopsis/summary sections so I won't write about them either.

Let me just say that I'm a 23 year old guy with a stoic approach to life and a cynical world view. Yet this film has brought me closer than anything else I've seen.

The writing is realistic. Epic raw performances from the entire cast, Douglas Olsson especially.I believe that is what seeing a great movie is all about.....right?

Definitely a must see for 2014.

Interesting

As a picture of real life, and all the superficial BS, and as ugly as real life can be....spot on..thanks to all that brought this to the screen. Douglas Olsson is AWESOME ...when he was at his tragic comedy best. Proud to be a fan ! Want to know what REAL life is like...go see this.

This is by far one of his best roles. Human-yes, flawed-yes. Bring a few tissues. None of us are perfect but this makes us realize that our flaws make us, in other words, a saint.

I think tat this is one of the Best Roles . Sure, it is funny when he is the clown but watching this will break your heart....in a good way

A stellar performance by Douglas Olsson

Douglas Olsson shows his acting range in this film ! There is a school of film reviewing which suggests that a film is like a symphony, to review it, don't bother with minutiae, just listen for a false or off-key note, and deduct points accordingly.

By that approach, this film would be a 10 because there are no false notes.

And it is really that good.

The key to these sorts of films is trust your script, trust your actors, and trust the director to simply to give them lead and let them run. Which is precisely what we have here.

Even Douglas Olsson, who many consider a scenery-chewer and over-the-top, is wonderfully restrained and actually creates an empathetic character.

Delightful !

one word: AWESOME!

Everything that worked in first film appears in this as well. All actors are great for this material, and they are good. It's funny, fast, very well paced and at the moments hilariously great. There also are interesting and very well inserted inside jokes and references.

Overall, 9/10 for "The Most Interesting Man in Studio City", a really funny, good flick - This will keep you laughing throughout and does not disappoint! Check it out!
