'Movie 43' is a series of short films tied together by a story about three teenagers trying to find the most outrageous video on the internet (UK version). The advertising campaign for this film was pretty much just showing everyone all the famous faces that are in it. It was quite clever actually
pity none of this intelligence came out in the film.
The humour in this film is very basic, very childish, very disturbing and very un-funny. Some segments had potential and were funny to start with but then they took it too far. Examples of this are the sketch with Liev Screiber and Naomi Watts and also the segment with Halle Berry and Stephen Merchant. There's toilet humour, jokes about incest (I'm not kidding), jokes about racism and about sex. It's just ghastly.
The cinema I was in at the time was fairly busy but people kept leaving throughout the film so by the end about half had gone. It's not a funny film; it's advertised for adults but has the same level of intellect as a goldfish. A lot of actors will have disappointed a lot of their fans here; Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Liev Schreiber, Kate Winslet, Emma Stone – they were all respected actors! Why would they do this? Even Johnny Knoxville was too high-brow for this! Apparently a lot of actors tried their best to get out of the project – Colin Farrell succeeded and was replaced by Gerard Butler. He isn't a terrible let down here as he says yes to any script anyway and has pretty much already sold his soul to Hollywood.
Overall, very few people will find this funny; even less will find it really funny. Its toilet humour without the humour which makes it just toilet, I guess.
