Review of Movie 43 (2013) by Matt G — 04 Feb 2015
"Movie 43" - Inconsistently funny and mostly boring.
Robert: It's very important to us that Kevin has a normal and complete high school experience.
"Movie 43" is not really a movie. Not *really*. It's a collection of comedy sketches featuring various celebrities. If you wanted to see a movie that has a great cast, this is not one of them. No matter how many times they throw names at you, don't believe it. These highly recognized celebrities make an appearance, but only a few at a time. They don't all tie into a single story and you don't see all of them work together.
I've already stated that this "movie" is just a collection of short films. Now about the quality of the individual films. There's quite a few of them, but only one or two will actually be worth a few laughs. The rest are painfully unfunny and poorly written, so bad that it becomes embarrassing to watch some of these actors and actresses.
The whole point of including recognizable names is to give them characters that people will go see. Here there is virtually no characterization, not that there would be any time for it anyway. Our favorite actors are only here for a few minutes to play a small part and then just like that, they're gone. On top of being short-lived, most of the sketches aren't even funny. And for the ones that are; I'm sure you could find them on YouTube or something.
Overall, "Movie 43" is not very funny and it's really wasting a great group of actors. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be really.
