Not so convincing

Rating: 2/10 (23 November 2013)

When I saw this movie I had not read anything about it before. Normally I read and watch the trailer before, I would let this movie be a surprise to me. But as soon as it started to play in the cinema the audience started to shout out with their joy at the women showing skin. Obviously this movie in it self wants to say something about society but its totally failing with it (media is toxic to the way we view sex etc.). But honestly that is just what has made the people to go and see this movie, because there is a lot of sex and stereotypes in it (and because there are famous actors in it). To not talk about the punch out lines in the movie that where as far away from clever and quite obvious, I wanted to leave the cinema... Unfortunately I saw it with friends so if I had left it would had been weird I suppose (so if I hypothetically would have seen it alone I would have left the cinema). People are laughing with the movie because they do the same thing as the roles: jerk off to porn, give scales on hotness, look at their smart phones a lot etc. This was to me very obvious as I sat in the cinema. As I said; it is sad that Joseph Gordon-Levitt had tried to point how we objectify sex and gender but that is totally what the movie is doing in it self, its contradicting!
To me this is a movie you see if you are not interested in movies and and if you don't want to see if anything with a deep context, to see some babes that you can objectify and if you feel like you like to judge people fast. I am my self very found of things in movies such as the camera angels, scripts, casting and the directing but in this movie it all where really bad. And because of the the bad camera angels, the bad script and the bad casting the acting failed as well. This is not because the acting in it self was bad but because it was not convincing to me in any way.
The good effect that it had on me was though that it made me feel really sick about the adds that I saw in the shopping windows after that I had left the cinema. Because of the way that people react to the media in this mimetic way. The unfortunate thing is that the movie just is repeating something that we hear at lot nowadays... but that the movie doesn't leave any refreshing depth and neither does it in anyway challenge the viewer.
