Game Over, Man! (2018)

The guys from Workaholics star in Netflix's version of a hard R action comedy. In this world, the trio still work together, this time as hotel housekeepers. As you would expect, they do their work half-heartedly with plenty of breaks to drink various rooms's leftover champagne, use drugs and discuss inane million-dollar ideas.

One particular evening becomes more interesting than most when a group of criminals show up to take money from a rich celebrity by the name of, the Bae, who happens to be throwing a party at the hotel. The criminals are doing this because the Bae embezzled money from their company. Or his rich father did. Or something. It doesn't really matter. They're criminals. They're here to steal something. You get the idea.

It's a funny enough set up, though it's a superficial one. We also see an inappropriate hotel manager, a diligent, eager-to-please female housekeeper and the Bae's crew. They are weakly developed as characters, as is the case with virtually every character outside of the main three.

The plot is essentially the same way. One silly action sequence leads to the next without paying much mind to making anyone's actions believable. It's all excusable, since it clearly was not the movie's focus. Everyone and everything is really only here to be funny. But the lack of character development and plot coherence puts a low ceiling on the movie's potential.

Also capping the film's ceiling are the random cameos that served no purpose other than for the audience to say, "oh, hey it's that guy/that girl!" They're pretty weak and pointless. Similarly, somewhere along the way, a character awkwardly comes out of the closet. I'm not sure if the moment is meant to be funny or moving, but it's neither.

The movie succeeds in putting funny moments on screen in the way of in-your-face male nudity and plenty of crude sex jokes. It also gives us plenty of comic violence moments, some of which were gross in a funny way and others were just gross in a gross way. Other less hardcore moments of comedy come from the Workaholics trio's charisma. The guys are undeniably funny in many scenes. Those moments make me wish the entire movie dialed itself down a few levels because a tamer version of the movie could have been a better one, and one that's just as funny.

Ultimately, audiences should take this movie for what it is. It's zany. It's raunchy. It's fun. If at any point you find yourself dissecting the plot, stop. That will do no good for anyone. Instead, watch this movie through an altered lens. I'm not suggesting that you should definitely take something that alters your perception before watching this movie, but I'm also not suggesting that you definitely should not do that.

In any case, watch this movie for a laugh. Save the drama and intellect for another movie.

Fmovies: Truly the worst excuse for comedy ever created, imo. There is no analogy low enough to describe it. In fact, Netflix, if you raised the subscriber fee to make garbage like this, and continue, I'm out. Not worth the 1 star.

Why ruin a good idea with unnecessary sick humor. Whatever respect I had for these actors and Mark Cuban is long gone. Save yourself the pain and watch Caddyshack or Deadpool again.

Game Over, Man! fmovies. Please don't waste your time watching this "movie" 0/10 for sure!

3 housekeepers in a hotel must embrace their inner heroes when terrorists take over the building Nakatomi Plaza style

Starring the obnoxiously annoying Adam Devine and a host of cameo appearances from Steve-O to Donald Faison to Mark Cuban this is a slapstick Hollywood comedy that simply wasn't funny enough.

Game Over, Man! could be broken down into three categories.

1) The moments that are funny 2) The moments that are too annoying to be funny 3) The moments that are too serious to be funny

Sadly 2 & 3 combined make up the majority of the film and though there were a few laughs to be had there simply wasn't enough for a feature film.

I've always said that Hollywood has lost its way when it comes to comedy. The reason being the formula they use, it's almost as if they are taking drama scripts throwing a few jokes in and calling them comedies. I thought based on the trailer this would be a rare exception and would be wall to wall silliness and jokes but it falls into the same pitfall. I don't want angst I want laughs!

Game Over, Man! isn't terrible it just struggles with a patchy script, an undeserving cast and the above Hollywood tropes.

The Good:

Some laughs to be had

The Bad:

Adam Devine

Needless animal death

Not consistently funny enough

Such a good cast and such a lazy writing! It was really embarrassing to watch such a childish attempt of being funny or original. Usual plot for buddy movies (best friend, then they're not, then they're back again to being best friends), very boring and lame writing.
