Buddy Games

I find Grownups fun for what is it's target audience and rated it pretty high. But if you didn't like those films, you'll hate this one. The writing isn't as sharp, the gags and jokes are more raunchy and the cast, though fair actors in their best films, is not full of comedic professionals. I thought the main games action section was well done but unfortunately none of the characters are that likeable nor relatable. In starring, direction and co-writing this film, Josh Duhamel may have stretched himself too thin in his directorial debut. Okay to pass some time but not a film you will rewatch.

A bunch of middle-aged men reminisce about the times they had earlier in life. The "Buddy Games" were a concept they developed to have fun, win among friends and create memories. After a more serious incident they lost touch for a few years but reconvened to have a last competition. The plot is not complex; old friends coming together to have fun again is not something we haven't seen before. But the quality acting with well-known actors allows for a fun time.

What's with the negative reviews? This is by far one of the funniest light hearted films that have come out in a long time! I was laughing from start to finish, and let's face it 2020 has been pretty hard so it was much needed. The scene in the bar with the laxatives, I literally woke my dog up from laughing and snorting.. tears were rolling down my face. Then the Komodo dragon and the steaks on their heads.. hilarious and well written! Forget the boring negative reviews and watch this!

Please ignore all of the negative reviews. It's definitely worth the watch. Great cast of characters which make this comedy a lot of fun to watch. Mindless, perverse comedy that will have you laughing more than once.

Okay so I will start this out by saying I'm one of those people that can pretty much love every movie. This movie is completely ridiculous but it was hilarious if you just appreciate the insanity of it all! It's like a lesser sequel of Tag.
