What men are talking about The new comedy about the transfer of souls can hardly boast of something new and original, but it will entertain the full program and highlight a number of topical problems, revealing them very easily. Ryan Reynolds, who loves his comic roles, teams up with Jason Bateman, who has outplayed, it seems, in all the comedies of our time. Both very successfully cope with their characters, giving out a bright performance on the screen and fascinating adventures of the main characters.
In abundance there are: a variety of nude nature in the form of naked female bodies, jokes below the waist, discussion of personal life and a clear manifestation of the most serious problems, both family and bachelor life. And in general, replacing a married person with an avid lover, and giving the first full freedom of action for new acquaintances, turns out to be much more amusing than one could imagine. Fortunately, the adult rating of comedy allowed to bring to mind not only jokes, but also the spectacle, and the fascinating film attraction of the comedy genre was successful!
We must pay tribute to the female couple, in the form of Leslie Mann and Olivia Wilde, acting either in opposition to the main pair of characters, then, on the contrary, as a successful addition to the picture. After all, while the two fools are entertained to the delight of the public, substituting each other in such funny situations, the girls, in addition to showing nudity, also carry in protracted monologues to men all the main thoughts of the picture, complaining about the complexity of family life and everyday psychology. Those, in turn, are left without the persistent attention of the camera this time, in order not to throw the mood of the film from comedy into drama, and therefore are served through the communication of the characters.
Adult household humor on the themes of sex, joints and other joys of life in a visual form, a series of situations shown, demonstrates everything that men say. David Dobkin perfectly coped with the direction and the proper level of quality of the picture, making a male movie that can be seen in the presence of a female. Perhaps a lot of people will find some life moments in this fantastic idea of the transfer of souls. After all, regardless of the miracles in the beginning, the plot reflects reality, sometimes erecting into an absurd culmination, all sorts of everyday problems and issues of intersex relations, from the moral type of betrayal of his wife or sex with a pregnant woman, and the most standard, like a baby left in the kitchen among hundreds of sharp objects and dangerous devices.
So inept parents and bachelors-losers, the film will also teach vital skills, teaching several practical lessons. Lovers and couples, at the same time, will help to consolidate and maintain a long relationship, well, who have lived for many years together - to remind of the ardent passion and feelings of each other, which should not fade with the years lived together soul to soul.
Such a comedy I want only to praise, closing my eyes to various minor shortcomings. Weaknesses of the script and sagging scenes are more than compensated by a set of killer humor, ridiculous absurdity to perceive properly, and crooked spineless characters with quite organic cardboard figures on the playing field of family conflicts. So everything here is very good, even if not perfect.
You can watch the comedy “I want like you” both alone and in the company. This, of course, is not a family movie, and a picture with jokes is not for children’s ears, but parents who are not confident in the right direction of development of their children, in all its glory will show the difference between “peaceful coexistence” and solving problems through violence. In exceptional cases.
Dobkin, like the entire cast, turned out very well. A beautiful memorable comedy is suitable for repeated viewing, will please men with the revealed theme of naked female bodies, and the girls will show the story of two lustful males who did not lose their humanity and very valuable character traits. Funny, entertaining and moral, for all bitterly in need of mandatory semantic load. It looks fun and easy, performing the direct purpose of comedy - to cheer and charge a good mood!
