Johnny Demaggio

There's a lot of good laughs in the movie, especially the first 20 minutes. Past that, there are still a solid good amount of laughs in this movie overall. There's a lot of good nostalgia here as well. And I liked the Shooter McGavin arc as well. Overall, I think in modernity they did about as much as they could've with this movie. Sure it was corny at times, but I'd say the laughs outweigh them. I loved the first one. But this wasn't a world beater of a movie, but it was better than I thought it would be.

NO SPOILERS: What a movie this is. I never watched it until now (2025), and I've gotta say, this is easily Al Pacino's most under rated movie. Apparently it's the same director as Scarface, but I liked this a lot more than Scarface. Has everything pretty much. Highly recommended. If you liked Scarface, you'll LOVE this.

Maybe because I was watching this movie with Mary Jane, but I was laughing hardcore through most of this movie. I couldn't stop laughing because this woman woke up in a bomb shelter with another guy who told her that the world had ended and they were the only two people left. I kept wondering why he wouldnt just give her a phone and let her call her parents lol. He kept backing his story up with facts about the world being over and that going outside would be the end of her, but she never actually asked him to prove it or anything. By the time the movie got around to actually showing that the world had become a nightmare it's around over an hour in, and by then I was still laughing at the idea of how she was just supposed to believe this guy when it came to everything without any proof lol.

Not sure how this movie scores 4.7 on imdb. It's hurting their own credibility if anything. It's probably a little bit too similar to the first movie, but there's still a lot of funny jokes in this. Hearing Marlon Wayans scream at the top of his lungs is comic relief enough. Per usual in Wayans movies, it's not just one character who's funny and the rest are just idle bystanders. The female role in this even has some really funny moments. Definitely worth a watch. There are plenty of worthwhile laughs, and if you don't laugh at this then you should be questioning your own wokeness.

This movie is good, but in my opinion, these reviews on google are holding it far too high in regards. The plot overall is straight forward with really not much character depth at all. It's a fun watch, but it's not much for substance overall. In fact, by my measure, the narrative of the movie is how awful interpreters were treated by the Taliban after the US left Afghanistan, and how them not helping them exit to the states, how victimized they all ended up being. However, that isn't really put onto you much. It does get a small note in the middle of the movie where Jake Gyllenhaal is frantically calling people to try and find his missing friend. That never really seems what the movie is about. More like 'you scratched my back, I scratch yours.' It's only when the ending brings it up in the form of text that you realize that interpreters in general are the main focus of the movie. Overall, I'd say, even though it's a good movie, it's Guy Ritchie's worst movie, which is saying that even his worst of movies are still better than most others.

Production value for this movie was better than I thought it would be. Well made and a some good laughs out of it. However, if this was supposed to be a comedy, there weren't that many GOOD laughs. The characters were OK I guess, but nothing deep enough to really make you feel connected to anybody except the coach. It was pretty much what I thought it would be, but the end was surprisingly good. I didn't see that coming. I would recommend it, but it's not exactly a comedy classic. Especially in a time where we REALLY need more comedy movies. It could've been much better though, but it could've been much worse. The pre release reviews online were why I watched it because it seemed like everybody was slamming it. Especially one writer who was so triggered she accused the director of never even meeting a woman before, which meant I had to see it to see what the fuss was about. And I can conclude that the person who wrote that article was either just super triggered or hadn't even seen it before and was just taking jabs. So yeah. Go watch it. You won't be blown away, but it's decent.

It wasn't a BAD MOVIE per se, but films like this send a very dangerous precedent. It's very anti-pirate, and gives no level of sympathy or empathy for people in this position in life. Had any real pirate had the oppourtunity to go to University and get a job, I'd imagine pretty much all of them would bite your arm off. But that isn't their reality, and for some reason this film makes no attempt to display that. Instead, by the end of it, I gather it's meant to make you feel like "they got what they deserved." Moreover, spoiler alert, when the pirates decide to somewhat play ball towards the end, and the military had no intention of settling anything based on their word, I'd imagine any pirate who sees this movie would take away from it that if they were in the same predicament they would have no way of getting out of it and wouldn't trust any 'deal' that came their way. So in that sense, if anybody else is to experience this in the future, the chances are those hostages aren't walking away. Id be very worried if i were a sailor along those shores without seeing this movie, but even more so after.

What is up with the reviews on here for this movie? It wasn't a great movie, but it was fun and a nice refreshing change from your typical cinderalla story in my opinion. Some people on here writing reviews need to grow a sense of humour and realize this is just a movie.
