Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
witz-2 I had never heard of this movie before. I needed another movie for my BOGO. I noticed the cast and it description seemed interesting enough. Besides it has Emmanuelle Chriqui. I had not seen her in anything other than Entourage.I did like the cinematography.This felt like a game of "telephone" where the phrase just gets ed from one scene to the next and it keeps losing more of its original meaning with each scene. I usually like interlocking stories, but this one had just too many stories and loosely interlocking aspects.If this was sold as a comedy, they missed the mark by a mile. Almost no one in this movie was having fun. I did like the lead in scene with Rosario Dawson. You wondered why in the world people were just taking off and handing over their clothes to her. Somehow, the scene, once they got beyond the curtain could have been played funnier.If you want a good comedy about late night bar related activity, then check out "After Hours" with Griffin Dunne, Teri Garr, Cheech and Chong and others. That movie succeeds in some many of the places that this one fails.
TxMike Everything about this movie is smart, the cast, the story, the witty dialog. The IMDb rating is woefully low for this fine, entertaining comedy.Set over one night in about 10 different bars in the L.A. area, in the opening scene Carla Gugino as Francine Driver walks into a bar and sits at the table of Zachary Quinto ('Spock' in the new Star Trek movie) as Nick. He nervously tries to shoo her away, it is apparent he is anxious and waiting for someone. It turns out he is waiting for her, but he didn't expect it to be her. He is a mild-mannered dentist, who has decided he wants his wife whacked, and he has hired her to do the job for $20,000.The problem is Driver is a detective working undercover to nab him, and that provides the springboard for the rest of the movie.The almost 90-minute movie is a series of vignettes, each in a different bar, with a different set of characters. But the common thread is Francine Driver, and in the end we see connections that we had little reason to suspect.For a small movie it has an all-star cast. Not only is Carla Gugino lovely, she is also a great actress and her role carries the whole movie. But it also stars such diverse accomplished actors as Gil Bellows, who is Driver's ex-husband, Alexis Bledel, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Rosario Dawson, Danny DeVito, Robert Forster, Josh Hartnett as the detective working with Driver. One of the better movies I have seen in a while, on Netflix streaming movies.
David Holt (rawiri42) As someone else has already said, this isn't a professional movie! It was more like a home-movie tour to show where not to go in LA at night. And we all know how much fun it is watching eighty minutes of someone else's home movies don't we? (Actually, that is probably the only good thing about this - it is shorter than your average film - which lets you get back to more fun things like reading Greek mythology a bit sooner!If you have absolutely nothing to do for an hour-and-a-half (which would include cleaning the drains or polishing the family silver), then I guess this might be better than watching the grass grow - just!One has to wonder why would anyone even think about going to the expense (which would probably feed thousands of Sudanese for a year) of shooting this!
horrorshowmovie "Girl Walks Into a Bar" is made up of a bunch of connected scenes, each taking place in a different bar. These scenes are heavily dialog-driven (sometimes with internal dialog). Some of them work, some don't. Most of the dialog is clever, well-written, and delivered by good actors. It's unrealistic and fast paced, with no time between a line and the response to that line. This is good entertainment, but if you get bored by dialog you'll get bored fast--there's no action here.There's a sense throughout the movie that you're watching a long, fast paced joke. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but you start to wonder when the punchline is going to show up, which can be distracting.Good movie overall, there's a lot of talent involved.
