The Long Weekend (2005)

The plot summary is thus: One playboy brother attempts to get less swingin' brother laid. The end.

This movie is an absolute turkey, confirmed by the fact I could not stand watching it until the end. Chris Klein confirms his career is dying by agreeing to star in this stinker. Other stars are less than forgettable and the writer should have his hands chopped off for penning such rotting garbage.

A strong contender for the worst movie of all time. Beware of any review above 3 stars - the reviewer obviously had someone else write it for them on account of their parents being first cousins.

Fmovies: An extremely poor film in EVERY sense of the term. It may have provided the occasional guffaw, but is far from funny. If however, you are a true fan of toilet humour, this film is for you! Poo and penises: this film would make an 8 year old laugh, and even he would have grasped all the depth of the jokes. The "flash of genius" of the hero at the end is far too predictable it's sad and you never really feel sympathetic towards the hero because frankly, there's not much of a character.

Overall, it must have been a darn long weekend for the scriptwriters who must have written most of the plot with their hands behind their back, considering the result.

The single scene worth remembering is Cooper's talk to God, whose voice is materialized by thunder and lightning. Other than that, nothing interesting.

I saw this at the 2006 Palm Springs International Film Festival. I don't know how they let this sneak into the festival but it somehow got accepted and was one of the weekend late night screenings. I normally would have passed on a film like this but it was a late night showing and I like going to the late night screenings so what the heck. Barely had the opening credits ended and people were already walking out on it. I thought, wow, if people think this is so distasteful that they are were walking out already I need to see this through. This was actually a nice relief from a lot of the heavy and somber art films I had been seeing. This is a movie not a film. It's tasteless, crass, sophomoric and relies on bathroom humor and sex jokes. And it's pretty funny too. This is so intentionally over the top that it's quite fun. Cooper and Ed are both funny and charming. The characters they meet throughout the film, people who are on screen for just a minute or so, are more interesting and have more character development than many characters in sophisticated serious movies. I definitely wouldn't recommend this to just anyone but I wouldn't mind seeing it again. I'd give this a 7.0 out of a possible 10.

The Long Weekend fmovies. This movie should be judged for what it is and not what it isn't. This movie is just for fun nothing more. A little slow in the beginning but very funny once it gets up to speed. I'm not a big fan of crude movies like the American Pie series but this one I liked. That Chris Klein is my new best buddy. He is one naturally funny guy. I'll be on the lookout for any more work of his. I thought the photography was great. The acting was good. Directing was good. I don't have a clue what the budget was for this movie but from what I can see it was well financed. The uncensored "funniest video" clips are well placed throughout and are really funny even though I've seen most of them before. Grab a buddy and go see it!

Well what can I say, if you're going to watch this and you're really into a great epic you'll be disappointed. But if you hold in mind that this came from the makers from American Pie you know what's coming to you.

It's a shame Chris Klein hasn't have his chance to shine on his own because he really isn't a bad actor, he's just getting deals to sh*tty movies I guess.

About the movie, story isn't that deep. Jokes are many based on sex and farts but it's a good movie to kill a rainy Sunday evening with.

The outtakes were the best in my opinion so don't walk raging out of cinema just yet..

This movie, as was to be expected isn't really great. Even though it's just another comedy focussing on sex jokes it doesn't even make it in that category.

I don't think it should be compared to American Pie, it's jokes just aren't funny, at all. It's full of homevideo shots of people getting slapped in the face etc. that have to do with the story. It didn't help that once the movie started with a montage of some of these clips 50% of the audience behind me started laughing hysterically. I don't think I've ever heard people laughing so hard. I'm seriously wondering if they were paid to be there.

They didn't make the experience more enjoyable though, although it did make me smile sometimes when ten people behind me were kicking the ground every time someone toppled over. It was really ridiculous.

Anyway, I didn't expect much out of 'The Long Weekend' and I viewed it the way it wants to be viewed, a simple sex comedy. But I still think it's not worth watching it. Or at least paying to go see it at the movies. Of course I saw it at a sneak preview so I can honestly say I didn't know what I was in for.

If you're gonna watch it, make sure you're extremely bored and don't have anything else to do, I guess it can be entertaining under those circumstances.
