Game Over, Man!

Crossing the line of making realistic bloody scenes as humorous. As a pet lover making a dog swim in panic of going to drown if he/she can't keep paddling water who is also strapped with explosives and then eventually blowing the little Chihuahua is NOT funny. Pets are not actors and when they show fear in their eyes it's real not acting. Anyone who cares about pets I would not recommend it as this director/produces obviously doesn't.

I've seen workaholics, and liked it. I've seen many of these Actors in other roles and really like them. This is a TERRIBLE movie. I had high hopes for this movie, great idea to knock off Die Hard with the three slackers being trapped in here by accident. It just wasn't funny. I really don't know what more to write. It was just terrible, the lines where predictable, lazy. Just brutal to watch. Instead of have quality writing, funny lines, just show Adam Devine's D**ck. Showing a guy get his D**ck cut off. Lazy way of getting laughs, right? Brutal. It's ridiculously bad, they had so many things they could use for gags (just taking off off die-hard alone). To Summarize. Absolutely brutal movie, nothing funny, original, just over-the-top gore and male nudity (the new "extreme" way) to get a cheap laugh. Don't waste your time on this one. 1/10

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.

Ok I have been coming to IMDB for reviews about the movie I am about to watch. I see "don't waste your time" , "I will never get my hour 37 minutes back" etc. My suggestion is just watch the movie and make your own opinions and move on. Not everyone is Siskle and Ebert,this movie is what it is, a movie with laughs and action together. You might waste you time or you might forget your worries for an hour 1/2. That's what movies are about. Enjoy life.

Everybody has their own personal hangups. For me, it's dogs. I guess I'm just one of those weirdos that likes dogs a lot more than I like people. I'm not an animal rightist or anything like that; it's just dogs. GAME OVER, MAN! is a lowbrow, crude comedy. And I'm okay with that. It was quite a bit more gory than I expected but I suppose a certain amount of violent gore might be viewed as some branch of humor, depending on taste and mentality. So I was more or less enjoying the movie at some lizard-brain level when the plot decided to include torturing and literally blowing up a Chihuahua as part of the "irreverent, comedy fun". And that's when I turned it off. For me, there is simply no meta-level of comedy in which torturing and blowing up dogs is funny. When a movie does that and calls it "funny", that's it for me. So that's my big contribution for GAME OVER, MAN! Certainly not my best review, but I do wish someone else had mentioned it before I started watching it. I did not need to see that.

Don't listen to the negative reviews, the movie is a lot of fun. It's vulgar, obscene, full of crude and almost surreal situations. It is what it should be. FUN, FUN, and FUN. But since there a scene where they kill a dog, everybody is condemning the movie. "Disgusting". AS IF! As if thousand of Hollywood movies containing millions of murders and atrocities of any kinds, video games based exclusively on killing people, are perfectly OK but the fictional death of a chihuahua is just to much to accept. Somebody in the reviews called it INHUMANE CRUELTY, nothing less. That's the level of movie critique we find here. Thank you very much.

The humor comes off as tasteless, lazy and relies far too heavily on shock value than any sort of creative merits. Throughout the movie it comes off as though it wants to take itself relatively seriously as an action comedy, but the boring, static plot left me uninterested and there was no real sense of stakes throughout. If you want to see the lead actors partake in Workaholics like fun, you'll probably be left bored through the large portions of the movie that try too hard to be a reputable action film. The lead characters are boring, unlikable and the only redeeming quality of the movie is Neal McDonough's character for the handful of times he's on screen, but even an actor of his stature had difficulty delivering a compelling performance given the awful script he had to work with. You can probably miss this one unless you're a diehard Workaholics fan, but even then this movie will probably be a waste of your time.

If you love lowbrow, vulgar, puerile idiotic humor, and especially if you like Workaholics, this is for you. If you don't, it isn't. So giving it a bad review simply means you don't like that sort of humor, not that it's a bad movie.

As a usual fanatic lover of comedies like these, I was ready for laughs. Unfortunately, while I did get in a few laughs (which is why I felt satisfied putting 1/10), I was mostly left very unhappy. Generally horrible humour, tasteless filmmaking, and sure to leave you feeling you just wasted your Saturday morning. There were several funny moments, but those felt pretty smashed by everything else. Even the "PLOT TWIST!" left my entire watch party (15 of us!) super disappointed. There was some real potential for seal-laughing in the general outline, but it was just lost in translation.

If you like Workaholics you'll like this. Lots of reviewers giving it bad reviews comparing it to all sorts, just like it for what it is. It's a comedy film and it made me laugh therefore it did it's job.
