Review of Not Cool (2014) by Gamegrump — 28 Mar 2015
A bad movie by all accounts. Shane Dawson can be funny, as evidenced by his YouTube channel However, I think that expanding his jokes into a full film cannot possibly work. All jokes are about sex and cussing is just peppered in for no reason. I have no problem at all with cussing, unless it is there for no reason. This is the problem with almost every YouTubers films, they don't realize that what works in a 3 minute video won't work in an hour-and-a-half movie. The worst thing is, it looks like Dawson was trying to create a good movie. The only issue was, he tried to make it appeal to the 13 year old demographic, instead of the 20-30 year-olds that watch his videos. Another thing is that Dawson's brand of humor is well known to his fans. Unfortunately, the average moviegoer has not seen his videos. so most of his type of humor is lost on them. Shane, if you read this, please, PLEASE, stick to YouTube.
Other points:
- Riddled with cliches.
- Generic plot.
- Bland characters.
- Too much gross-out humor.
- Only funny character was homeless man.
- Why is every character in the movie so damn mean to each other?
Shane, if you read this, please, PLEASE, stick to YouTube.
Don't do another movie unless you have an actually good idea this time.
