Review Time: this film is mixed
Fundamental elements: there are
voice-over elements, background music, cultural elements, mental imagery, yes
and no to subtitles when another language is being used, slow-motion effects,
time jumps and place jumps.
Storyline/Back story: the storyline is straightforward, it is something safe and reliable,
the back story is discussed between the two main characters/performers.
Comedy level: it is of lowbrow material ranging from bodily functions and
everything like that to inappropriate relationships with family members to sketches
from other well-known films such as for one example The Breakfast Club 1985
[involving one character/performer from this film as well] to this ongoing
concussion reference [I should just point out, yes I am aware that when this
film came out we didn't know as much about concussions as we do today.] But
still this comedy reference is on the nose and if I am going to point this out
I am not reflecting away from this point, but this film is accepting of
conjoined twins and someone with Tourette's [to cover my back if I should
receive some feedback of a negative nature, on one hand I can't just point out
about the ongoing concussion reference, without pointing out on the other hand
that this film is accepting of conjoined twins and someone with Tourette's] and
just to finish off this paragraph I did found some elements funny
Action sequences/Artistic visions: there is high school American football [training/game time,]
cheerleading, combat, a backbreaker [wrestling move] and chasing. The artistic
visions there are musical numbers [with and without a guitar,] painting, poetry
dancing and animation.
Character developments/Performances: I can't really criticize these two points either individually or
together too much, because of the simple reason; this is what they were going
for, basically here is what I mean and yes even though this is my contents I am
not saying it [in a nutshell if it wasn't in this film I wouldn't be saying it
in the first place.] There is a stereotype African-American character/performer
and he points out he is meant to be a stereotype African-American character,
even later on in this title there is this character and another
African-American character/performer and he points out he is meant to be the
only African-American character/performer in this title or something to this
effect.
The
performances are also something safe and reliable there is chemistry/friction
[depending where you are; is depending what you get.]
This film receives: 4/10, I originally went for a different mark but at the final second
I change my mind, because by definition this film is mixed on how I feel about
it, because yes you get this lowbrow comedy level, then you get this speech
from one of our lead characters/roles to his teammates, but more specifically
this character/performer that shouldn't be anywhere near this game and on top
of that this film does get better the more you watch of it
