Review of Drinking Buddies (2013) by Leelustig — 03 Aug 2016
I don't remember the last time I hated a film so much that it actually angered me. What an unbelievable waste of time and talent. Everything about this film is trite, worthless and just plain stupid. 4 white people (who have zero personality and no likable traits whatsoever) who work at a brewery (wow, such great escapism.
..) get drunk a lot (seriously how many friggin glasses of beer did they have to guzzle to get through filming this crap?) hook up, cheat on each other and eventually just swap spouses. How life changing.
It's a typical story line we've definitely seen before and I couldn't find a single unique element that would make it worth watching. "But there are so many positive reviews! Why is that?" I'll tell you why: Olivia Wilde nude (Yeah, big whoop.
She has no body whatsoever) The biggest problem I have with this film is that critics called it a Comedy. Really? Show me which part made you laugh because I didn't even count 1 attempt to be funny in the entire film.
I'm not even joking. This was the most un-comedic comedy film I have ever seen. If your idea of 'comedy' is a really dull and depressing love triangle with zero jokes, then yeah this is pretty side-splitting.
In all seriousness, F*** all the people involved in making this piece of sh**. I should have been weary as soon as I saw the title of the film, which is probably the most un-intriguing, underwhelming choice of words in the history of film.
I gave this "film" a chance because I liked the cast. But the only drinking this movie made me want to do is drinking myself to death.
