Search Party (2014)

I was so surprised with the amount of funny bits on the beginning of the movie.. the idea of three friends always looking out for each other and always stepping in any little thing is not that new but the execution is so fine and fresh and the comedy is shining in abundance, the plot grows smoothly and peaks properly in obvious clear way. The screenplay was really connected and funny,, it was written by Andrew Waller and Mike Gagerman as their second script ever but when you mention it was co-written and directed by Scot Armstrong knowing he co-wrote "The Hangover Part II" that would give you a hint ;)

As for the cast; gosh they were all Hilarious, T.J. Miller is the loose cool guy who doesn't care, Thomas Middleditch is the paranoid always in trouble Naked and being bossed around ;) and Adam Pally is the guy who have a life but it gets ruined by his other friends.. it felt a lot like the cheap version of The Hangover with a less payed guys .-. Adding to the cast, Jason Mantzoukas and J.B. Smoove was a really nice touch.

Overall,, it was really enjoyable as a comedy movie ,, its catchy i laughed , i think that's what matters.

Fmovies: This will inevitably be compared to the "Hangover" movies, as it should, they are very similar... However, I still think that "Search Party" has enough originality to stand alone on its own merit... I wouldn't say it's better than the Hangover movies, but if you're a fan of those movies, then you should like this as much as your least favorite in the Hangover trilogy... It's definitely has its laugh out loud moments... I'm also a fan of "Silicon Valley", so it was a welcome sight to see "Urlich" and "Richard" with leading roles in this movie... The movie was well acted all the way around, with plenty of people you'll recognize from some of your favorite shows... It's a party genre film so there is a lot of drug use in it, but that's to be expected, otherwise it's free of propaganda... It's was an enjoyable waste of 90 minutes...

Being a B movie, it is not that bad. It is eligible for some minor exceptions and if you consider that while watching it, then it does not disappoint much. Yes, there are many similar films like this, but what makes it somewhat special is that it is quite freely explored its contents without stressing out on detailing everything. I meant it was a simple road adventure film and you would feel it very familiar yet you will realise that it is not worth criticizing it.

The actors were decent, but expected much better. Directed by a newcomer who had written many screenplays similar this theme. Like I said it was quite predictable, at a time decently enjoyable with a few laughs now and then, especially that Mexican police station scene was hilarious. You might get a million reasons to dislike it, but you achieve nothing from it. According to me it was surely a decent watch, hence not a must see, but if you do, then don't take it seriously, try to have fun within its limits.

6/10

Search Party fmovies. Listen, I had a good solid beer buzz watching this, same as all the Hangover movies. The Hangover movies? I was busting up! THIS movie?!, well OK, I had a few laughs, I don't regret watching it while a bit on the drunk side, but it's really is just a piggy back kinda rip-off of the hangover movies... grab some brews... catch a buzz, you'll be somewhat entertained, but it's not brilliance, or comedic gold by any standard... it is what it is, an attempt to capitalize on the hangover movies...just really REALLY late...lol

what else can I say to make this long enough?!

get some brews first, it will be a bit funnier that way!

Review rating at 5.(whatever) doesn't serve justice to this fine flick.

This one is a splendid follow-thru for Silicon Valley & Arrested Development fans. It has enough chops to join ranks with the greats; Animal House, Something Bout Mary, Real Genius...

Seriously it has chops in the writing, performances, wit, And... believe me. There's got to be some good ounces of improv courtesy of the actresses & actors. You'll know what I mean when you check the body language in some scenes. Take truck diving...

Watch it again & again. It'll turn you around.

Line 10. Die Mozart.

It's something unexpected happening in Hollywood industry: too many actors? Or directors? Or script writers? Or... all? I don't understand, seriously and honestly, how it's possible to make such movies and how actors agree on filming in them. Also... if you saw the Hangover trilogy, this one tastes so bad... actually a tragedy. It's so embarrassing to watch something like this. One more thing - I tried but could't find any single scene or second to laugh from. I think it's the best way to lose your sense of humour watching such nonsenses - so called 'comedies'- the movie crew and director have no idea what humour is. What I've seen here: tasteless scenes, dull surrounding, middle sound, idiotic script. And the plot. Oh wait, what plot?
