GOOD GRIEF Movie Review **SPOILER ALERT**

[@mmorgan1980]

Joseph's so mad at this movie he starts a fight with the comments before there are any comments😂

[@joancampbell7995]

😂

[@tigerstorm]

Love the fact that Joseph simply does not register that Dan Levy wrote, acted, AND directed this soggy noodle bowl. Poor Nick has to patiently remind him repeatedly. “Whoever wrote this…””Dan Levy” 🤣😂🤣😂👏👏

[@loveprocrastination]

😂😂😂

[@gcndc]

Joseph throwing shade: "Dan Levy power walks to the crash" and not runs to the crash!

[@MartenKey]

The energy we need more reviewers to have

[@carrieb.3857]

Movie producers, take note - have Joseph view your movie before it’s released so he can tell you “a better story would have been…” Cuz let’s face it, he’s always right.

[@Inaisola]

"He's lookin' at her like she just took his order at the drive thru window" 🤣😂🤣 that was funny!

[@kikiiza3379]

Omfg hilarious

[@DaringDasher]

Finally someone calling out Dan Levy's crunchy acting outside of Schitt's Creek lol it needs to be said!

[@aliaab123]

What is crunchy acting? I looked it up but I couldn't find it.

[@hmacklemore2226]

​@@aliaab123 Acting that's corny, not convincing... you don't buy them as the character.

[@nadinetoussaint239]

Love this movie, guys it's about grieving which it everybody do it differently. The car crashed even brings tears to me remember Grandmother died in a car crashed couple blocks from her house

[@bees.857]

"A guy younger than you" WHO WOULD EVER SAY THAT? 😂😂😂

[@yesitislikethat]

Oh, goodness. *Thank-you!* 😂 This review was everything and *perfectly* embodied the *exact* sentiments that I had. I turned the movie off shortly after they got to Paris- I just couldn’t. 🤷🏾‍♀️ So, I came here to KZbin to see what others thoughts were. You guys nailed it. Liked and subscribed. 🧡☺️

"the person who wrote this script" "Dan Levy" 😅

[@laurenwojo]

Off to a great start lol Joseph, I love that you’re wearing an “ew, David” for this review 😂 Nick, bring on the hateration, I’m here for it!

[@toast039]

The best/funniest part of the movie is when Dan levy was asked if he was the late husbands assistant 😂

[@tigerlilly9038]

Look I'm going to be straight up .FULL DISCLOSURE:. I'm gonna watch this b*******t just to look at Luke Evans and Levy's hair (I am a fan of his locks, lol) . I am not ashamed.. Well not a lot. Evan's just does something for me...... Liiiiiiiisten, 😂. Most importantly I love the most how when you critique a film you always offer alternate possibilities where it could have been better and I love that so thank you ❤

[@nadinetoussaint239]

Was upset to find out he knew he was in an open marriage

[@maevemaiden]

I love Dan Levy on Schitts Creek but we are being asked to have a spoiled Hollywood kid to have depth and that is an absolute oxymoron lol. I think I will pass on this one 😂this is why I love you all. I feel like that skit on In Living Color “Hated it” lol 😆

[@shippendales8543]

He isn't really a Hollywood kid though His dad is a big Canadian comedic actor but not really huge in terms of Hollywood , he is mostly known for American Pie in the US I don't even think Dan grew up in LA either Schitts Creek was entirely produced in Canada So Dan's experience isn't quite that of a standard Hollywood kid The actress Kristen Kreuk said canadian productions tend to be low budget and its more about people working together to get stuff done So I'm not sure he had a super glamorous hollywood style upbringing even if his Dad made a lot of money

[@scotty2136]

This is why I love y’all reviews! I can’t stress enough of how much I HATE Hollywood’s over the top rich gay portrayal. Garbage like this is why I don’t care to watch most gay movies. Don’t get me started with Bros. 🤣 Anyways, vent over, thank you for keeping it real and not feeding into what Hollywood thinks ALL gays should be happy liking as movies. ❤

[@pnwgirl4]

In this economy I just can't find it in me to care about stories about rich people "finding themselves".

[@hmacklemore2226]

He doesn't even find himself, he just goes to Paris randomly 😂😂😂

[@domarq]

Since I learned about Daniel Levy, 10 years ago (from "Schitts Creek")....I always found him to be: EXTRA. He tries too hard to duplicate the humor/charm/charisma of his father. Also, I always felt he "dialed-up" the gay, feminine stereotype too much. It just seems like he's a caricature, with no real personality. No, I don't have any home movies of Daniel.😆 But, something tells me he assumed an identity and ran with it. Lastly, this movie is proof Dan was raised in a bubble and never struggled, financially. He's a rich kid who tries to write a story.....as if he knows the struggles of the every day man/woman. OF COURSE his story includes an expensive apartment in Paris. What other life experiences would he know about? Public school? Living in an old....pre-WWII building? Low-income housing? Come on. He continues to receive these opportunities BECAUSE he's a nepo-baby/son of Eugene.

[@westhecat0]

"Be prepared for some hateration." Me: 🍿

[@macebluemoon369]

Same here.

[@christochristo6245]

so obsessed with y'all shitting on this for 30 minutes 😂

[@cmleidi]

I'll never understand people who post hate comments because someone doesn't like a movie. IF Spoiler Alert is better than this, I know to stay away since I thought Spoiler Alert was an absolute mess.

[@galaxylucia1898]

I literally gave upon Spoiler Alert because it was so dreadfully boring. I would say both movies are a 1/5

[@laceykanda995]

Really appreciate how blunt and honest your film reviews are. Just straight to the point lol. It sounds bad enough that I might just watch it 😂😂!! With all the fuckery in the world, we gotta make moments to laugh sometimes 😊🤘🏾. Happy New Year guys💖!!

[@londonsmoker]

appreciate the shout out for Celia Imrie who should be in more films. She would make a great Bond villain.

[@jay-dubb.dubb.68]

I didn't know she was a Lasabien!! 😮 😅🤣😂

[@kristyAMF]

Ruth is also amazing in Preacher, the series, love Tulip

[@randyf5126]

I fast forwarded the last 45 min. it just lingered on 😭 the best scene was the monologue from his financial advisor.

[@galaxylucia1898]

The TRAILER for this movie deserves an award because it really had me thinking I was going to watch something special. 😤

[@RobOlivierbjr64]

The trailer really had me sucked in and I probably will still watch it at some point, but I do appreciate the honest review…I’m still laughing 😂😂😂

[@conjohnson86]

As soon as they said she was 35, I couldn’t wait to hear what you all had to say about that. It distracted me half the movie 😂😂😂😂😂

[@johngarza1614]

Where is the story!? Where are the characters? Where are my emotions? Hahahaha... Love you guys.

[@williesullivan3985]

"These three people are so raggedy" 😅 A perfect summation of this "raggedy" film.

[@corriemayo2715]

Ya’’ll tore this film a new one. I watched it last night and you’re absolutely right. Neither the characters nor any of the subplots were fleshed out and Levy’s character was so mild in his emotions that it was hard to feel anything for anyone. I will say that i did feel some kind of way when you went in on Ruth Negga’s character but that’s just my bias to seeing this pint sized beauty on screen and upon reflection can’t really disagree.

[@RichardHannay]

The premise sounded promising from how you guys described it 😆

[@wishfulthinking2371]

What made me underwhelmed was the scene from the trailer with marcus talking about the brain as a muscle and the brain still performs as the deceased person is still there * cues scene to Marcus looking at empty pillows next to him* what even was the routine that this couple had that his brain is trying to get over? What routines were disturbed by Oliver’s death? Because from information given about Oliver’s career Oliver traveled a lot of slept out in different cities. How was waking up together something that’s so routine that has to reprogram. On Sophie it would have made more sense if she was at least a put together person who unraveled after her getting dumped and none of her friends noticed because of how withdrawn they are dealing with their own grief. On Thomas it would have been interesting for him to react to marcus choosing an open relationship with Oliver despite marcus agreeing to the relationship being open “out of fear” over marcus being in a relationship with Thomas. The film was alot of wasted potential.

[@jujutaylor2186]

"I didn't laugh, smile, or cry once". -Joseph. Yeah I'm gonna pass on this. 😂 "Good Grief,-Charlie Brown

[@CD-hv3vl]

Agreed...It was a ragged mess. I'm a fan of Dan Levy and Ruth Negga so I was disappointed. The idea wasn't horrible but the movie had no rhythm. The shots of London and Paris were beautiful though.

[@FriendofDorothy]

Wake me up when someone makes a good movie about gay men that does not require any of the characters to either commit suicide, be murdered, or die in some other way. People raved about "The Whale", which was a cinematic over-achiever for that genre in that one gay man jumped off a bridge to his death due to parental disapproval and the other committed slow suicide via food and obesity. I can't think of a lazier and more played out way to extract emotion from audiences.

[@jay-dubb.dubb.68]

2 stars!! Not bad.... oh wait, that was their COMBINED rating! 😅🤣😂

[@lmullinax3872]

Ew, David! Thank you for this because the trailer looks sad and good.

[@leab9435]

Nick is absolutely right! Dan should've cast someone else in this movie...he was not good.

[@toms5996]

It's quite the melodrama with self-obsessed people. But switching your brains of I enjoyed bits and pieces. Some lovely lines - not enough crows.

[@jeffbassin630]

Sad, but true... I totally agree with both of you. This movie really is lousy!

[@medaman15able]

Idk what it is about this movie, but it rings hollow. Maybe it’s the runtime, SOPHIE. Idk, but the movie feels like a young adult novel in all the worst ways.

[@Dee-vs4hb]

Great review! What an insufferable film. Dan Levy - as writer and actor - should stick to over the top comedy. He either does not understand or cannot pull off drama. A drama feature requires so much more depth. The characters were terrible and flat, the play out was boring and the so called lessons they learned were so verbose and preachy. Having a partner die at a point where you do not really care for the protagonist or their relationship is almost certainly death, no pun intended. Am shocked that Netflix green lit this and that people are raving about it, clearly still experiencing the hangover of Schitt's Creek, which was brilliant but which should have zero bearing on a totally different project.

[@isolemnlyswearthatimuptono5016]

I just watched Good Grief yesterday followed by Spoiler Alert....I wish I had started with S.A. first 😬

[@laurenl5843]

Dan Levy was trying so hard NOT to be David Rose that he was afraid to ACT. And I get it. He didn't want people comparing the two characters however it ruined this performance. That said it was a dreadful script. It's such a shame because I'm a huge fan. 😕

[@3l3llala13]

The movie is currently 74% on Rotten Tomatoes with an 58% audience score.

[@joseferg8006]

Great review guys! Thank you for your honesty. Two things you didn't mention; - Ms. Valentine (at the funeral) didn't appear to have implants (as it was mentioned she did five minutes earlier). That's poor casting. - The distraction on Dan Levy's chin. Is it a blemish? A wart? If the latter, he can afford a good plastic surgeon that won't leave a scar. That aside, his character comes across as really immature for a 40 year old guy.

[@collinmiller4721]

I think “A Single Man” is the Apex of gay grief movies. 😊

[@kev121]

I’ve come to give you good grief over not likening this film. 😂🤣😂🤣 Seriously though, i thoroughly enjoyed your review. And snaps for pointing your viewers towards “Undertow”.

[@capsjukebox]

I think all the filmmakers working for Netflix now take a page out of Sandler’s playbook and use them as paid vacations for them and their friends

[@angelrojo6466]

Great review guys. Sadly this was a NYT critics pick??? WTF? This movie sagged large.

[@erdbeermund78]

I saw an early screening of this movie and I didn't realize what it was until I got there and realized I drove across town to see Netflix movie lol. I thought Ruth Negga was okay though. It just made me want to go catch up on her filmography.

Yes, this movie is dull, dull, dull, but I did laugh out loud at what Dan Levy says to Emma Corin about their performance art only interesting part of this movie.

[@dysfunctionalisme]

[@5530alex]

I wanted to like this movie but I found most of the characters to be unrelatable and just annoying. The only I can relate to was Luke Evans character Oliver and how he kept another life with another person other than his life partner played by Dan Levy because I have done it. We have that perfect life but somehow I felt the need to explore relationship with someone else un I was sure of my own feelings to make a decision. Selfish I know. I chose to stay with my partner of 20 years as he was home to me. This movie had so much potential, but it just lacking the necessary details and flow for a cohesive story.
