Unfinished Business (2015)
How do studios approve things like this?
I will make this brief ; if you are a thirteen year old boy with very little life experience and find having a last name like Pancake hilarious, you might enjoy this. If you enjoy gratuitous nudity and sad exaggeration of hypothetical European behaviors, you might enjoy this. For the rest of us, it will be a waste of time we will never get back. Actually I can't help to wonder if a thirteen year might have actually written this awful mess. I consider having a large leeway of tolerance for bad scripts but I actually felt sad for the actors who had to say the lines. It is not even close to being funny, I mean not even a hint of humor to be found. Stay clear of this one. Consider yourselves warned.
Now You See Me (2013)
Leave your brain at home
I will make this brief: Now you DO NOT GO see it ! I can't help to ask: For whom was this movie written? From the very first scenes, it's all about one liners and quick camera shots to impress seven year old children or similarly matured minds. There is nothing remotely credible in this mess except that the biggest hoax is played on people that have paid to see it.
To think that somewhat educated people have approved it all makes you wonder.It's baffling how this triviality gets financed. The cast,for most of it, has tremendous credentials; we know they can act but you wouldn't guess it by this movie. Someone has said that this film was an insult to the intelligence of the audience ; I will go further by stating that it is even an insult to an audience deprived of the say intelligence. I think I am pretty clear here, it deserves as much attention as elevator music and will elevate your IQ the same way a lobotomy will.
The Way Way Back (2013)
Brilliant for its lack of depth.
I will make this brief: Characters are one dimensional; no nuances at all. Dialogs lack spontaneity to the point of sounding unnatural. Acting is rather poor and seems forced, with the exception of Toni Colette. The usually excellent Sam Rockwell is trying his best and failing, but he can't entirely be blamed here as a good actor can rarely save a terrible script. Even Anna Sophia Robb, who was so endearing and vibrant in some of her previous roles, doesn't seem to be comfortable reciting a script that, I feel , she does not believe in herself. The stereotypes abound and it seems the script was calibrated to include certain 'ingredients' that the average superficial viewer might want. Skip this one. In my opinion, some commercials have more depth than this movie.
