Comedy is so hard to do well nowadays. Still gonna make bank at the box office.

 

[VanquishUK]

The plebs never learn.

 

[Data West]

Joke will be on us when the opening weekend box office shows up.

 

[backflip10019]

Not surprised. Even the trailer can't make it look the least bit interesting.

 

[Ridley327]

I'm surprised it even screened for critics. This had "please, don't watch me if you enjoy the art of filmmaking" stamped all over it in crap.

 

[Rizific]

Yeap, if the trailer didn't already tell you that then I don't know.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Well I'm shocked.

 

[Kyzer]

But it looked so enthralling

 

[Arkeband]

Why is Peter Dinklage taking these stupid roles, is my question.

First it was Knights of Badassdom or whatever and now this...

Adam Sandler makes terrible movies regardless of philosophical musings on comedy being difficult.

 

[Syntsui]

It will be a comercial success, that's what matter.

 

[chadskin]

Adam Sandler looks as depressed as a film critic who has to keep reviewing Adam Sandler comedies.

lmao

"Less amusing is distributor Sony dropping references to their Playstation 4"

lol

 

[a Master Ninja]

Peter Dinklage, you can do better than these "nerdy" comedy movies.

 

[Dominator]

And yet, in every movie I see in theaters, when the trailer plays the theater is uproariously laughing throughout it.

This will make bank.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Sad thing is this will make money.

 

[kurahador]

This year Grown Ups 2.

 

[Kin5290]

Between the premise that sounds like it could come from Ernest Cline and Adam Sandler, I'm surprised this hasn't collapsed into some kind of singularity of soulless exploitation.

 

[jmdajr]

It will make money.

Even Paul Bart Mall Cop2 made money and it was at zero percent on rotten.

 

[backflip10019]

Peter Dinklage, you can do better than these "nerdy" comedy movies.

His performance in Destiny says otherwise. I fear that his fantastic acting in Game of Thrones is the outlier.

 

[BY2K]

I hope that paycheck was worth it, Dinklage.

was about to say this, people loved it.

Yup. Sadly, yup.

His performance in Destiny says otherwise. I fear that his fantastic acting in Game of Thrones is the outlier.

he was good in 30 Rock lol

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I wish dinklage was in better movies

 

[Grizzlyjin]

The trailer looked like Focus Group: The Movie. Everything about it seems like it was cobbled together to hit the right demographics. Like using video games, but classic arcade video games so you don't alienate the arcade kids that haven't touched a game in decades.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Well, to be fair, it's only 11 critics so far. Surely it can't be that b--

"Adam Sandler looks as depressed as a film critic who has to keep reviewing Adam Sandler comedies."

"There are legitimate excuses for going to see "Pixels." Losing a bet, perhaps. Having a loved one held for ransom. Maybe a serious blow to the head."

"The key image in 'Pixels' is Q*bert urinating."

...Oh.

 

[TheAbsolution]

I'm just glad it's finally out so I can stop seeing the dumb commercials.

 

[Circinus]

Looks like it could be a dumb, fun romp on saturday evening if you don't want to do something requiring a minimum of cerebral activity.

 

[kurahador]

was about to say this, people loved it.

Welp...RIP Ant-Man and Tom Cruise.

 

[Shanlei91]

Nahhh

 

[Protome]

Have you seen Dinklage's filmography? The Tiptoes far outweigh the Game Of Thrones'.

lol

"Yo dude. Hook up the PS4. It will be rad!"

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Lol damn those reviews are vicious

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Is anyone gonna call them out on ripping the story straight out of Futurama?

 

[blackflag]

My 8 year old son wants to see this so bad becasue...pacman..

I just can't do it...does that make me a horrible father?

 

[Kinsei]

His performance in Destiny says otherwise. I fear that his fantastic acting in Game of Thrones is the outlier.

But that's Destiny. I doubt even the best actors could turn in a good performance with that script.

 

[Archaix]

Comedy is so hard to do well nowadays. Still gonna make bank at the box office.

Amazing how much harder it seems to become any time Adam Sandler is involved.

 

[Grexeno]

I'm just glad it's finally out so I can stop seeing the dumb commercials.

Nope. Every commercial break will be loudly espousing the virtues of the #1 movie in the world, Pixels.

 

[Darkgran]

Still looks better than any Marvel film.

So you're the reason these movies make money.....

Man up and go,

Review:

Probably funnier than the movie, although I found it too crass at times.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

People are liking these trailers?

 

[Nintendoga]

Waka Waka

 

[cirrhosis]

Reviews are as I expected.

Everything is right with the world.

 

[BY2K]

Now watch it make about as much money as Mall Cop 2.

 

[The Elite]

Fuck off Knights of Badassdom was at least a little fun.

He was also on Nip Tuck why do you hold him to such a high standard? Game of Thones?

 

[MattyG]

Adam Sandler looks as depressed as a film critic who has to keep reviewing Adam Sandler comedies.

 

[Dominator]

Now that I'm actually thinking about it, that trailer got more laughs than the entirety of Ant-Man when I went to see it yesterday.

I hate this world sometimes.
