Movie 43 (2013)
5/10
It has it's moments

This is far from a typical comedy that most people will be used to.

It's not American Pie or a rom-com.

It's an art form that is funny in a very dark fashion and while some segments are better than other, it is till funny - even when it is rudely sick.

I've co-written a comedy movie like this many years ago, so I know how this plays out and what it takes to make the skits work.

I found it funny, not that I will view it over and over again, nor will I call it anywhere in my favourites, because it's not.

It still is far better than one of the movies I've seen a few days ago, which I can never say was written with any thought to it and was just stupid to all proportions...unintentionally.

Most of you will never enjoy this movie, because you have been brainwashed into liking TV shows like "FRIENDS" and "Sex and The City" reruns - and you think that is what comedy is...

Well this is comedy, without the laugh track. It's written well, but it's not for everybody. In-fact, even though it's written well, it's still not great or even good...because it's so off the usual which what we are accustomed to.

All I can say is, it's crafty and I'm glad that I didn't have to pay to see this - otherwise I too would be bashing it more than I did.
