The Long Weekend

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.

Cooper (Chris Klein) is a struggling actor spending his time chasing women. His younger brother Ed (Brendan Fehr) is a successful ad exec and video enthusiast until one day he finds his girlfriend in bed with another guy making a sex video. This is definitely a broad inappropriate comedy in the vein of American Pie. Some jokes worked, but most just flopped badly. The intercuts with old videos just don't work. They aren't funny and way too amateurish. Chris Klein and Brendan Fehr are fine actors, but they're both strictly straight man. Chris is being asked to be the funny man of the duo, and he doesn't fit. Brendan Fehr is playing his role too uptight. That's not funny either.

I will first off admit that this movie does not try to "take' YOU ANYWHERE OR deliver any social messages , it is just two brothers , one trying to help the other get over an ex . i didn't expect much , i watch a lot of movies , although the plot is thin the characters are engaging and interesting enough. to me, a comedy is not a good comedy unless you are laughing ten minutes in , this movie has funny opening scenes ,it is kinda typical in that it has its bathroom humor and gratuitous nudity but i was laughing right off the bat and regularly throughout.some of the jokes that could possibly be considered old are approached from a different angle and caught me with timing that i was not expecting --creating surprise and spontaneous laughter this ones going on my classics/repeat watch list ---
