Not Cool (2014)

I was expecting to like this movie going in because I happen to think that Shane Dawson has some talent as a comedian. My opinion has severely dropped after this movie.Let me start with the comedy. Most of the dialogue is either cringey or uninspired and the jokes that are supposed to make me laugh because they are gross and random don't work because there is no sense of comedic timing or pacing for each joke. Each joke comes out awkward and forced and most comedies have jokes that tie in to the story but a lot of these jokes are not incorporated very well. The plot is very weak and cliché in a lot of places. The two main leads have to have a fight to propel the third act and you know they are going to end up together somehow because "true love". The screenplay does nothing to help me connect with any of the characters on the screen and most of the characters are deplorable souless beings. We could've at least gotten some funny jokes with the characters from Shane's youtube channel but he decides that these boring and cookie cutter characters are enough to propel the story.The acting is awful but I can feel that Shane is trying in some places but most of the actors need to take some acting lessons.This movie had a horrible sense of pace and the direction is equally awful. The music is some of the most shitty teen melodramatic music I've heard. I am sad that most people who gave this movie a 10/10 probably gave it just because it was Shane Dawson.Shane, I don't hate you but please never do a movie ever again

I really wanted to support someone from the YouTube community that made it to the big screen and I was looking forward to see this film. Sadly the movie was unfunny and poorly written. The jokes were mostly puke/poop/fart ones, repetitive, forced and badly executed. The movie consisted only of sappy sitcom scenes and the previously mentioned doubtful humor. And what's with all the sex, rape, dicks, boobs and stereotypes? I don't mind using any of this in comedy, because in comedy we should learn how to laugh at everything. But that wasn't making a joke about it, it was putting it there as the joke. Like when you make a scene with dick sucking through a glory hole and the girl on the other side being loud and obnoxious it doesn't make it a "joke". It's just a loud dick sucking scene. It's unnecessary, cheap and targeted for retarded people. HO HO HO dick, toilet, sucking, screaming...that's funny!Hope he'll make something better next time.

Honestly I watched the Movie a few months ago(Before I was Subbed to Shane) I was with friends just looking for something to watch, one of my friends said I have that Shane Dawson movie, I said "What ever put it on". Honestly it's not the worst movie of all time nor its the best, it's just your run of the mill Outrageous Comedy. Maybe I'm apart of them "Un intelligent" group of people,that all these snobby critics are saying, but I found the movie to be funny. Bit silly at times? Of course, Were there jokes that weren't funny? Yes, but i found that I laughed so much I forgot about them one or two jokes. For a first film and with a small budget its not that bad, I think some people are looking to critically at the film and try to find deep meaning in it, but its just a raunchy comedy. Its like saying "12 year of slave" sucked cause it lacked comedy, but It was never meant to be seen as a comedy in the first place.The acting was good spare some of the cheesy(but sweet) monologues. I would give it a 6.5/10, Its a good Saturday night movie to watch with friends(Or family, if you're that comfortable with dirty jokes in front your parents) over a Take- Away. Honestly for me this was better than some of the comedy I saw this year **Cough** Interview, Bad Neighbours. **Cough**. After this movie Shane earned a Sub and I wish him good luck with any future projects. Show less

First the good. There are a few good gross out jokes. The lead actress has talent and personality and she should find more (and better) work. Now the bad, It's actually surprising how unfunny the movie is overall. I expected more gross out laughs, but it largely misses. One of the strangest, most unexpected things about the movie is that it is just your standard, basic coming home story done in an aggressively and not terribly funny outlandish style. It tries so hard to be Porky's for a new generation, but (and this is really sad), it doesn't even have the humor of that mediocre movie. A true failure at so many levels.
