thiago S @Thiagostone Mar 19 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more john h @RT11274104 06/01/2025 A good enough film to be labeled as a great but divisive laugher. Simon Pegg plays the arrogant, clever Sidney Young in an interesting comedy night watch that will make you maintain a smile whenever Pegg enters the frame.

Like well over an hour into the runtime before it finally decides to do something with all the sideplots it's setting up so jumpy and sloppy. It gets super unfocused once he arrives in NYC. Trying to mkae his way into the stars, his thing with Megan Fox, relationship with Dunst, his father, dumb random gags and it just is so messy with how it presents it and goes nowhere until the last like 20 minutes. It's pretty predictable in that sense. The editing and pacing really aren't that good and are the main issue. Acting though is what saves this from being a complete trainwreck. The cast is stacked and Dunst & Pegg are great and have chemistry and charm. Supporting cast isn't bad either. Everything else is just alright here. There is a good idea underneath all this but it just takes way too long and does it so sloppy and the end result is what you;d expect for better ot worse. And the final big issue is the humor is just flat 90% of the time. It's not terrible but it just isn't really clever. Unless your a super hardcore fan of any actor in this I'd say most should skip this. See more Tongue L @RT12192009 06/03/2024 This movie is hilarious! I have watched this movie many times, and each time I still laugh. It is in my top 10 for Comedy. Such an underrated movie. Great cast and lots of laughs! Recommend watching it.

Avoid at all costs. See more kevin t @RT86057321 02/16/2023 This movie seemed like it might be interesting at first. A kind of "The Devil Wears Prada" type movie. One that could be really good, well acted, well written, and fascinating even for people that have no interest in the subject matter (ie celebrity or fashion). But, this movie falls flat & is disappointing. I haven't read the book, but I feel like, maybe the book is interesting and they just left all the interesting stuff out of the movie. There are blatant commercials in this movie (although most movies do this). Simon Pegg's character does nothing clever the whole movie, nor writes anything amazing or does anything innovative or clever or funny or rebellious. He decides very easily to ignore his morals, just cos some girl he likes is dating someone else. Except, this "romance" comes out of nowhere. They don't build up this so called romance. The couple have almost no chemistry together. They start disliking each other, then for some reason just keep talking anyway, she goes to his house drunk, suddenly they kinda like each other. He hates some other guy at work but there is no real indication why. They don't have some long going competitiveness or screwing each other over. He doesn't seem particularly bad so Simon Pegg would hate him that much. It feels like they just wrote what is going to happen in the movie on one sheet of paper and then just made up the rest while filming adding all the typical romance tropes but not doing them well. Its all disjointed, nothing goes well together, there is no soul, no feeling, no emotion.. you dont care about any of the characters. Simon gets together with Kirsten at the end for no apparent reason. There is no struggle to get her, no things going wrong, no obstacles in his way other than he cant book a flight straight away, he has to wait a few hours. OH NO!!! Its badly written & boring. I was expecting Simon Pegg to convince Jeff Bridges to go back to his old style of Journalism. But no. Unless I had some version of the movie that was edited down??? Maybe my version had a lot of good stuff cut out of it? Its just a dull & disappointing movie. See more Read all reviews
