[spoiler=My Review]

5/5 Stars

 

An action packed, comedic movie of absolute badassery.

 

Now the movie's humor is a bit vulgar, and that is why it is frigging funny. The humor is usually 90% on time with scene and are put in positions as if they come natural. Akiva Shaffer does a f*cking awesome job of directing. The screenplay was written by screenwriters Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen (The guys who wrote Superbad). This cast is loaded with funny and absolutely fantastic dialogue and their chemistry and acting is so good.

 

The action sequences are brilliant as hell. Many scenes have few cuts but instead employ a reversed perspective form where action scenes have much less cuts but you are only getting half of the action. The awkward situations that arise from many events in the movie are absolutely hilarious.

 

The cast is brilliant. Ben Stiller gives a star studded performance while Vince Vaughn employs his natural comedic talents and just lets everything work from there. I was originally sad that Jonah Hill had to turn down a bigger role in Django Unchained for this movie but now I don't regret it; he just does his role so freaking well! Richard Ayoade does a fantastic job as his character, he employs a focused and serious comedic talent that very few comedians have.

 

This movie isn't just a comedy though. It can be serious sometimes. Many of the events taking place in the film have a serious tone to them and many of the action scenes get pretty heated up. The blend of serious and funny works so well in this movie it is ridiculous.

 

A lot of critics have panned this film and I honestly disagree. This movie had flare, style, humor, action, and just plain f*cking badassery.[/spoiler]
