Naked-480P

Watching this movie makes me really admire Marlon Wayans, cause like Will Ferrell he's not afraid to make a fool out of himself in hopes to get people laughing, that takes real dedication. A soon to be groom(Marlon Wayans) finds himself naked in an elevator with no clue on how he got there, and with an hour away from his wedding, suddenly finds himself stuck in a time loop just repeating the hour over again until he improves and makes it to the wedding. Like Groundhog Day no explanation is giving on why the main character is stuck in a time loop. The problem here is that the film tries so hard to be funny, where I was seeing that I had troubled getting invested to it, there where one or two moments with Wayans that gave me somewhat of a chuckle. Marlon Wayans and Regina Hall are the only ones here I enjoyed, but everybody else is pretty much a foot note. Not great but has it's moments.

A movie about a man reliving the same hour over and over is expected to be silly. It starts out lighthearted... then it hits you with some painfully cringe-worthy stereotypes that promote struggle love and are impossible to overlook. It's also cheesy and goofy... all of these movies are though. Overall this is something silly that I wouldn't rush to see. I give it a 4 for giving me a few LOL chuckles... but most of them were really random jokes that kinda came out of nowhere and caught me off guard.

My boyfriend and I watched it together and had a really good laugh. He'd give it an 8, I'd give it a 10 for it's genre, so 9 it is. It was really great, from the beginning to the end. Surprising twist and turns, good acting, directing, nice message. It doesn't have that much in common with Groundhog Day, and if you just expect a comedy and a feel good movie you'll love it. Wish there were more movies like it!

Marlon Wayans stars in a comedy about a NYC substitute teacher, Rob Anderson, who's about to marry the love of his life and doctor, Megan Swope (Regina Hall), but the night before the wedding Rob goes out for a few drinks with his best man/best friend Benny (J. T. Jackson). Rob then wakes up stuck in a hotel elevator naked the next morning. On top of that, Rob finds himself in a 1-hour time loop that prevents him from getting to the wedding--no matter how hard he tries. Late to his own wedding, Rob changes his strategy every time he loops back to the elevator in order to get to the wedding on time before it's too late. Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Groundhog Day started the whole time loop genre back in 1993 that many other films have recently started copying to varying degrees of success. Naked is one of those films that tries to put a different spin on Groundhog's ingenious plot. But instead of the day repeating, Naked writers condensed the loop to just one hour, and instead of Rob trying to get the girl, he already has her--he just has to get to the wedding. However, apparently Rob isn't just mysteriously late, he's also a major screw-up and afraid to commit to anything, even a long-term teaching position offered to him. This begs the question though, how did Rob end up engaged to a successful physician in the first place? Anyway, Naked has a few good laughs, but as a comedy, there aren't enough laughs to overcome the stale feeling one gets from watching a movie based on a recently overused plot. Naked's many inconsistencies and bad acting (in particular by Wayans) don't help either. For instance, "one hour" is not nearly as effective (or interesting) as "one day" when it comes to building up a legitimate story within the time loop phenomena. The writers also never give us any explanation for how Rob got stuck in a time loop and how he managed to get out of it. Maybe it was all a dream? Could be, but I guess that part is left up to viewer interpretation. Only, you really don't care because the movie is so unbearable and overly long. Loretta Devine, Dennis Haysbert, Scott Foley, Cory Hardrict, and Eliza Coupe all have small roles here with a cameo by Brian McKnight. Devine is always a delight to watch while I kept thinking Dennis Haysbert, with that cool baritone voice, would break out any minute with an Allstate slogan. It's just too hard to picture him in anything other than an insurance company commercial nowadays. Side note--both Marlon Wayans and Regina Hall look eternally youthful even though they are in their mid-40s. WOW! What are they doing? Anyway, Naked simply cannot match the freshness, comedic delivery, acting, or screenplay of the film it copies. There is one thing though that Naked does do very effectively--viewers will get the feeling they are trapped in that one-hour time loop with Rob, and in this movie's case, that's not a good thing.

Giving it a ten, why not its not often you get to enjoy a tasty body over and over again Marlon Wayans is sure a fit dude. OK no this is not a rewrite of ground hog day, yes it has similar time loop but so do a lot of other movies now. Its so not like ground hog day. Poor Rob (Marlon Wayans) has been waiting to marry his fiancé for a long time and finally the day is arriving. He wakes up in an elevator stark naked and the story starts. He has to work out how to get to the church he has about an hour before he ends back up in the elevator again. What transpires in each time loop is really funny well i thought it was perhaps i am too easily pleased, and i was routing for him to get there and stay there. There is a plot, its not just the same thing over and over again. I loved Loretta Devines character as the mum, i like her anyway. I found it entertaining and funny, it has romance, and great for people who are going to get married Don't forget things as you will have to go back again to make them right. Ah well it was fun, it was free on netflix, it was fun to watch and an added bonus of eye candy. Not sure what people want out of films nowadays, i have seen a lot worse. I wasn't bored, and the time went quickly and i was so glad the ending went right for him after all his hard work getting to stay at the altar lol.

I'm so sorry to see that Marlon, once again, end up in a bad movie... I'm sure he is a talented actor...if he gets the chance (but then he has to stop producing his own movies and be more aware of the directors). The acting is not great, but I really believe that it could have been good (even though it's basically just a remake of Groundhog Day). The movie is not good... There is no substance, surprises or great scenes, and I truly believe it's the producers and directors fault, and not so much the actors. I am very surprised that this is a Netflix production...

This is my first time writing a review but I was compelled when I saw the negative reviews of this film. Usually, films like these are reviewed with a higher regard when the characters are Caucasian. If you switch the actors to Ryan Reynold and Margot Robbie, I believe the same people that hated Marlon's version, would love that version. I look at the script first. It was a light hearted fun movie. A great movie to get stoned and enjoy a Friday night at home. The acting was no different than if the races were reversed. I think people are brainwashed to view films with people that they are told should be a certain way. WAS it Oscar Worthy? No. But it is what it is. I wish we all can find that childlike energy that is within us and just let go and be free. I miss the 80's.

First off, don't read the negative reviews. Watch this movie with an open mind and just enjoy it. Good movie Naked is a movie about a guy with a little touch of the cold feet and he is forced to live his final moments before walking down the aisle over and over until he can get it right. A simple story but it's creative and also has a nice message at the end. Did I forget to mention it's full of laughs too. Naked is a good movie, lots of laughs. Some might compare it to "Groundhogs Day" but that's not the case at all, two totally different movies. Marlon Wayans is awesome as the lead and he's solidified himself as a lead actor once again. The supporting cast is just perfect. Regina Hall plays her part and the chemistry between Marlon and her is perfect. Dennis Haysbert as the father in law was just hilarious and Loretta Devine as the mother in the law. Perfect casting in my opinion. Brian McKnight was a nice touch also. Naked had a good story line. It's not amazing but it was creative and very entertaining. That's why we watch movies right? To be entertained. It's a Netflix movie, nobody is making you spend 20$ at the movies to see it. If you don't want to watch it than turn on Hulu but if your a Marlon Wayans fan get the popcorn out and prepare to laugh. All around good movie in my opinion and definitely worth watching. I really don't understand you couch critics, you take every chance you get to criticize and put down a piece of art. That's what all movies are "art" and you either enjoy it or don't look at it but we don't have to come online and trash the art because it's not your cup of tea. I honestly wonder what the reviews would have been like if the movie starred Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis with Ed Sheeran singing in it and Flo from progressive being an evil mother in law.
