    Love the cast, high hopes, but just missed

    by Pos7al

    I am a huge fan of Jeremy Piven, though he couldn't help this movie from seeming like it was trying too hard. I'd say pass on seeing it until it is released on DVD, though it could be worth an evening of low expectations and hopes of short-dosed humor.

    Did it have laughs, yup. It had quite a few, though they seemed to be drowned out by the laughs that didn't make it. A 'Save the hometown dealer' story that really needs no further description.

    If you want to see a good cast and have low expectations for greatness in humor, (I think we were all spoiled by The Hangover) then I'd say to stop by and give this film a shot. If you want to be laughing every moment you aren't breathing, you are going to be disappointed.

    See it if: You enjoy the cast and don't expect the movie to match Anchorman, Hangover or Old School
    Don't see it if: You want a movie where you will recite lines for the next 2 weeks.

    I you like Talladega Nights and that type of humor, you will enjoy The Goods. A ton of crude humor, which I enjoy, and Piven is awesome. The cameo's by Farrell are perfect. They could have added a few more cities to the experience, however the movie was entertaining. I will buy it on DVD. Have fun, wear the appropriate undies, lighten up, and enjoy the show.

    They left the "funny" in the trailers!

    I didn't want to believe the reviews after seeing so many trailers for this movie. I thought, "These people must be missing the jokes." No... the movie was missing the jokes it seemed. It was like taking a 10 minute skit and trying to stretch it into a 2-hour movie. I was anticipating this was going to be a laugh-out riot like "The Hangover." Not even close! The energy and zaniness I felt in the trailers just evaporated in the movie. Yes, there were some funny parts, but no... audience laughter was hard to find also. I'm really disappointed. I was expecting so much more than I got. Skip the theater. If you really want to see this one, rent it for the DVD player on a stay-home evening. No... I don't think think Blu-Ray will make it funnier. LOL
