Movie 43 - Movie Review

[@MrKstate21]

Alonso gave this a better review than Manchester by the Sea holy fucking shit

[@loyalcompanion2104]

LOL, he also rated Logan lower then ghostbusters(2016) , and liked dragon ball evolution

[@Johndarko15]

Alonso is a perfect example of never listen to just one critic for a movie. In fact, ignore all his opinions on movies.

[@DarinMichaelGrant]

I'm fairly confident now after seeing this review that Alonso does indeed know *nothing, absolutely nothing* about the art of film.

[@ByMonitorLight]

Much as I never agree with Alonso, much respect for having the sheer brass balls as a critic to come out and announce to the entire internet, 'I liked Movie 43'.

[@onlychild86]

I remember when I used to laugh at things I thought were funny. People constantly told me to grow up. So I did. Now I don't laugh anymore. There is only sadness and misery in my life. It's great.

[@zacharysiple783]

Richard Roeper said this was the Citizen Kane of awful. I read that and thought-WOW! That is AWFUL!

[@MavenCree]

Alonso, when the actors who are in the film themselves want absolutely nothing to do with it, there might be a slight problem with it.

[@itwashappiness]

This coming from the guy who gave Les Mis a 1.7.

[@JozieLeePro]

Someday this movie could become a classic simply for its star power.

[@moeezS]

I feel for Alonso, there are some things I find funny that can be considered awful. I laughed during Not Another Teen Movie. Comedy is the most subjective thing, along with horror.

[@bojan82]

Why do some people like it? Very much? Because humor like that is not mainstream and it's usually played by total amateurs, no budget no nothing. Just pure idea and shitty execution. And if you like the IDEA (and I do) you just love to see it done well for once. If you hate the IDEA (like a lot of folks, totally understood) you will hate it no matter what. So there is no point in proofing why it's a shitty or a good movie. We are talking different languages on this.

[@joebaumgart1146]

It could have used Nick Cage every movie needs more Nick Cage

[@TheSwagnostic]

Nic Cage should have played everyone in it.

[@joebaumgart1146]

Yes, even the female roles!

[@DrawtoonzStudio]

xXM1G42OzkikSC0pZle M8b8grz420M1GXx Now that I think about it, a sketch starring Nicholas Cage as every single character would actually be hilarious.

[@TheSwagnostic]

Drawtoonz Studio A masterwork.

[@barbiquearea]

+Joe Baumgart I'm surprised nobody tried recruiting him seeing how he pretty much takes any role no matter how crap the script must be.

[@bernlin2000]

OH alonso...lol

[@TheOscarExpert]

DUDE WHO THE FUCK IS IN THE BACKGROUND AT LIKE 4:14 WTFFFFFF ILLUMINATI

[@rebekahp4083]

BAHAHAHAHA not me finding a 9 year old Oscar expert comment on What the Flick…absolutely love that.

[@kevdav63]

About how many shorts are included; 15 minutes pieces? 10? 30?

[@grimshake]

Alonso man, how are we suppose to take you seriously from now on?

[@moviefone]

not huge fans of movie 43 over here, mostly because they didn't show it to the press!

[@CullTheLivingFlower]

If Alonso not liking Charlie Wilson's War didn't convince you to never take him seriously, this will.

[@SuperDeadlyPajamas]

The crowd laughter is a sociological thing. Hearing other people laugh makes you interpret something as funny. If what you're watching doesn't make you laugh or even crack a smile when you watch it by yourself, it's not funny. It's why a lot of sitcoms have laugh tracks.

[@futurestoryteller]

I will never be upset by a review on here again. This is clearly not a legitimate review channel. Alonso's opinions are proof of this.

[@iSOBigD]

Very few people can stand through Les Miserables, so I don't see your point. 99% of movie goers will not sit through 1.5 hours of non-stop singing even as a character dies, it's a very very niche market.

[@futurestoryteller]

Broke the previous record for weekday Christmas opening. 7.9 on IMDb. In the top 20 highest grossing films of 2012. Made $394,896,690 at the box office (still playing). And nominated for 8 Academy Awards. How fucking niche is that!?

[@iSOBigD]

People watched it because it had nothing but big name actors, not because it was great or because they love musical. The majority of people who saw this probably rarely watch musicals and will not see it twice. It's just extremely draining to hear NOTHING but singing the entire movie. Most musicals have some dialogue and story, it's not all in song form. Do you think it would have even made 10 mil if it had unknown actors? Even with the book's fame it wouldn't have had the juice.

[@oldchicken2]

Did you read my previous post? I said I didn't think I had populist sensibilities and I hated Les Mis. I mentioned The Master to give context to what I thought a great movie looked like and to show the above commenter that it is possible to hate Les Mis and love good art movies. What do you mean "non- assessiable"?

[@adronias]

If people are going to criticize him, at least spell his name right. My god, it's in the information for the video, it's Alonso, not Alanzo.

[@jakejonescomedy]

It's not that the unapologetic obscenity of Movie 43 is wrong; it's the lack of respect it has for the audience's intelligence. Alonso is sick.

[@usaking]

I honestly wouldn't have a problem with Alonso giving Movie 43 a score of 7 if I didn't already know, beforehand, that he rated Les Miserables 1.8. Seriously????

[@RockBottomRiser21]

Already looking forward to Alonso sticking up for it.

[@Gavin48]

Alanzo hated Les Miserables yet praises this. This guy is going to get more heat than Lemire bashing TDKR

[@Rak-Nay]

Serious People talk so much that I went after Amazon in the moon, and I liked And after so many advices don't watch movie 43

[@TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

I liked this movie

[@caoimhinbenjamin9998]

I don't know anything about the movie, but this review was hysterically funny.

[@LordAdamW]

all of you need to lay off I bet about 90% of you havent seen it so you don't know whether its good or not, he can't help it if he actually liked it

[@jasondreams]

I love George Clooney and his movies.

[@RockBottomRiser21]

What are you talking about? He likes many popular films.

[@RhenishHelm]

Can the Portal turret behind Ben please gun down Alonzo? Please? (I respect his opinion, but damn man, this low)

[@mgwtube12]

is alonzo high?

[@kuunami]

Looks like Halle's career will remain in the graveyard for now. Everytime she stars in a good movie, she comes back with a string of 5 bad ones.

[@FogBuffy]

When I saw this I just wondered what kind of blackmail was involved to get SO MANY names to agree to this film. Gerard Butler hahaha

[@uhuhuh1966]

Yes! I'm not alone, me and Alonso for life! I laughed so hard at this movie, it is my ultimate guilty pleasure, the ibabe stuff was weak, I didn't like the superhero speed dating at all and didn't like the leprechaun stuff and thought the 4th wall joke at the end was dumb, but everything else, especially the "Machines Commercial" I laughed so hard. I'd give it a 7 also, I totally got what this movie was trying to say lol

[@derekdiercksmeier486]

The set looks different than before.

[@zacharysiple783]

I have not seen this, except for clips. Alonzo gave this a 7-and it's hated by many. He gave my favorite movie Silence a 6.5 on the other hand, and that's considered a Scorsesce masterpiece. What. The. Heck. Fire him and hire me!

[@chrishwk]

I haven't seen it, and I know lots of movie trailers look better than the film turns out to be, but it looks funny. I won't see it in a theater, very few films are worth what it cost for me and the wife to go to the movies any more, but I'm looking forward to it being on cable or netflix.

[@films5555]

Agreed. But, I mainly prefer Matt because he is more open-minded with no agendas. Plus, Matt is not a show-off.

[@joeychenock2728]

Excuse me? Anything for Jeremy Allen White? He is an amazing actor. He is great in Shameless and I heard his short (The home school one) is one of the only funny ones in Movie 43. Give the guy some props,

[@asmrcity3147]

Yeah, sooo this is where I first learned to skip Alonso’s reviews of anything.

[@PRIVATEAYEIEYE]

Why do critics universally refer to Kentucky Fried Movie, instead of the Groove Tube, when GT was the 1st, best, and most packed with future starpower, of the genre? I saw it twice in a theater, and until I saw the video, I had missed much of the dialog due to crowd laughter. Forget Kentucky Fried! Groove Tube Rules!

[@fcukthisnoise]

if by worst you mean best, then yes. and evar discounts any real argument you may have

[@mrwalnuthero]

idr?

[@oldchicken2]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course, but I don't think I have "populist sensibilities" and I hated Les Miserables. Some of the performances were fantastic, Anne Hathaway in particular, but the storytelling was absolutely horrible. If Michael Bay liked the theater, this could easily have been his movie.

[@PhantasmagoricSplend]

I liked the Liev Schriber and Naomi Watts homeschool thing but that's it. I almost barfed at the balls on Jackman's neck. It was just annoying and gross. Alonso wtf?

[@Jezzascmezza]

I don't even like musicals that much, but I'd rather watch Les Miserables another 5 times instead of watching Movie 43 again just once.

[@Greenmailerr]

25 friends?!

[@loversrockpaper]

i get it. i get what they wanted to do. i understand it. but the problem is that it was not entertaining in the least. i was just slightly disturbed and really bored. it was a satire on a 4th grade humor level and i just couldn't feel anything about it.

[@alphacause]

I am sure Alonso is going to get criticized by fans of Les Miserables for giving Movie 43, an utter waste of a film, more praise that Les Miserables, but I doubt it will inspire the same level of vitriol as what Christy got for her review of The Dark Knight Rises. Christopher Nolan fan boys are probably some of the most rabid fan boys out there. There were critics who got death threats because they did not like TDKR. I doubt Les Miserables fans are this irrational.

[@impunchingyoursaladd]

I wouldnt say hating Les Mis is being a contrarian...Not everyone liked Les Miserables. I didnt hate it, I just was just totally bored throughout the whole movie, it feels about 3 hours long and the songs just wear you down (Yes I am aware that its a musical!). And I disliked alot of the characters. I also thought it was melodramatic at times. But hey, each to their own? Apart from Movie 43.

[@RockBottomRiser21]

Both films with 95% and 100% ratings on RottenTomatoes too, I might add.

[@vinsig001]

I hated movie 43 with a passion but I still respect Alonso because I know as a fellow movie critic that you can't say he liked movie 43 but hated les miserables because they are two totally different movies and for many critics you can find a movie critic who liked movies that everyone hated and hated movies that everyone loved and compare it.

[@AwsmUsername]

Nah, I think he's just being honest.

[@paperstarjar]

North... like Elijah Wood North?

[@oldchicken2]

For what it's worth, The Master is the best movie of 2012 in my opinion.

[@Dontknockmedown]

Alfonso gave this a higher mark than Anchorman 2. wtf

[@jasondreams]

you mean to say George Clooney knows what good movies are (because he has good movies) or that he plays in such bad movies that it can't be any worse than this movie because even he refused it.

[@BobLoblaw11]

alanzo hates movies that people like, but he likes movies that people hate. conclusion: he's a hipster.

[@nero12345789]

Alonso liked this movie, but he hated Les Miserables. I'm sorry that's sad to me.

[@PhilipPetrunak]

This makes me wonder if Alanzo got paid off.

[@Steve27775]

Another soaraway success for Richard Branson's film company...

[@RapPopRockDude]

The terrence howard skit was the funniest one. Laughed so hard in that one!

[@TheSwagnostic]

Drive wasn't that good but Movie 43, now that's an amazing film.

[@blueeyesaf]

Not Another Teen Movie's pretty funny partly because it's so awful, that's kind of the nature of parodies, they're other more serious movies recreated with more crudity and slap stick comedy. It's especially funny if you've seen alot of the movies they reference.

[@CorpseTongji]

He hated Les Misérables, and liked Movie 43. Yep, contrarian.

[@Prof16440]

love alonzo for sticking to his guns on this.

[@weirdo3381]

It was like Robot Chicken mixed with South Park

[@sanyrub]

Les miserables was amazing and I´m not even into musicals and didn´t know the songs or story at all. Best cast of 2012. I´m not saying best film, but best cast for sure, memorable performances in my opinion. It had some stunning scenes too. Now about Movie 43: looks like crap, everybody has bashed it

[@Guernicaman]

So does this mean that any movie Alonso likes is a movie that truly sucks & I should stay away from? OK. Got it!

[@Smartass8504]

Come on, Alonzo. You've trashed countless good movies on here and then ended up giving THIS movie a decent score? Wow o_O

[@thewirelessdrool]

i was referring to the fact that all his picks are very predictable, so are christy's, they spend way too much time talking about meaningless actors and focus less on the movie itself.

[@12315yh]

i think it's funny

[@bboyswitch22]

I thought the movie was fucking hilarious! I usually hate cheap jokes but this was really well done! I just don't understand peoples hatred for this movie, it's almost as if they were expecting a serious drama or something instead of a comedy.

[@MavenCree]

Point to Ben for using the word Scatological.

[@Harkness78]

2 or 3 of the sketches were ok, only one I really liked was the home schooling bit. Several were completely unfunny. I would give it like a 5/10.

[@c.vaughn7371]

alonso has populist sensibilities, i guess. I can understand why he didn't like les miserables now.

[@richardellard]

I think this is my favourite What the Flick review. I had to see the movie for myself after watching this.

[@ragelynsb6537]

Flixzone is a scam

[@Flimfan78]

Im going to disagree with you guys on your opinion that Bridesmaids was funny. It wasn't Poop has been funny in two instances 1) when its animated 2) when you see a giant, singing, pile of shit fighting a alcoholic red squirrel.

[@keefriff99]

How the hell did the makers of film snag so many high-profile...REALLY high-profile...stars for this shitpile? I just don't get it...were they blackmailed or something? Contractually obligated? Just bizarre...Kate Winslet? Really? Damn.

[@zacharysiple783]

So Alonzo thinks this is BETTER than Hacksaw Ridge or Silence? Jeepers! I've only seen clips of this and I can tell that it sucks!

[@NonControversialName]

Seems more like to me he just likes being a contrarian.

[@lucifersam9]

Then if he doesn't like a good movie, or one that was interesting, he nit-picks something stupid and cosmetic. For Looper which I thought was a decent movie - or at least one that could provoke a discussion - he kept complaining about Joseph Gordon Levitt's make-up. He is an awful critic. The show should just be Matt, Christy, and sometimes Ben.

[@robby101318]

I haven't seen this yet, but it strikes me as an instant cult classic like Rocky Horror Picture Show. That movie is terrible, but for some reason I love it. And so do a lot of people. I guess you have to be in the cult comedy mind set. (like i said I have not seen movie 43 yet)

[@Templars1005]

Nah, BUT when this is your best movie (Gerald Butler) it's time to stop being an "actor".

[@thisisnancybot]

Alonso, I respect the hell out of you for sticking to your guns but really?!

[@PurushaDesa]

Alonso is always irritating but at least he usually has a point (even if he insists on incessantly whining his way through that point). This time... this time he's just being stupid.

[@ClydeNut]

+PurushaDesa how the fuck is he being stupid? comedy is subjective. You incessant whiners in the comments are hilarious.

[@daviddaviscrawford3669]

I LOVED THE CATS WHACKING OFF

[@MyTubeIsBetter20]

the fuck is wrong with Alonzo? Starting to think he's a contrarian.

[@NickThorbjørnsen2207]

OK, Alonso, I will never in my life trust your movie reviews ever again.

[@MonteLeeMyPOV]

I thought it was funny and entertaining. I guess i'm an idiot. I don't know these famous people cause I don't watch many movies. I thought this was a new movie and just found out it was older today after watching it. If you don't really know these people as famous actors, then it's pretty good sketch comedy.

[@MobiusCoin]

A 7?!?!

[@keefriff99]

Seriously...I like Alonso, but damned if I don't take his reviews with a HUGE grain of salt after shit like this.

[@MauroRincon]

haha I'm with Alonso. It was funny to me too.

[@thehobbsguy]

Alonzo should be kicked off the show, he is no better than Armond White at this point.
