After watching this film, and seeing how awfully low the ratings were, i need to ask .. WHY ? Why is this film so maligned?
OK, Get A Job is not the most creative script i have watched; GAJ is the story of two college graduates that, like every graduate, are the best of the bestest until they actually try to enter the workforce, where they find that they are actually worthless. So their plans to be a successful couple go awry, and the only way to solve this problem is to GET A JOB !!
Obviously they are a bunch of misfits who, instead of repenting their ways and bow their heads in acceptance of the misery of employment, use their mischievousness to hatch a brilliant plan which they then execute flawlessly, and everyone lives happily ever after.
which is the same plot of about 90% of the comedies you'll ever see.
Like i said, it's not really super-creative. It is, however, funny.
Miles Teller (the Whiplash guy) and Anna Kendrick (the Mr Right girl) do a fine job of their material. The supporting support well, the direction is good, production is excellent, the dialogue is funny, the story has good pacing, the ending could have been done a bit better but it's still pretty good.
So .. i liked this film - very much. It's a feelgood comedy that will leave you mildly happy for a day or two, and there was nothing bad that might upset you. Anna Kendrick is adorable as always and Teller is.. decent; comedy suits him, he just needs to grow into it.
Would recommend to almost anyone.
My vote: 7/10 - a harmless little comedy, very well made.
