Ripped (2017)

not horrible nor great

Awesome Movie

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

It's a mediocre film with a interesting concept very interesting but yet another movie where something is ruined bc the main character has to go all oh this is so wrong with perfect plan is so wrong boohoo i'm going to ruin it all for my stupid morals that all arbitrary anyways this is the worst trope in film history and it disgusts me

It wasn't that bad nor that good, especially that Russell peters acts in it and I am not fond of him, it was good to watch it to spend my boring hours but other than that it wasn't that wow, low quality, low budget movie. Lack of actual comedy, usual ending , no plot, no suspense, everything was easy to expect.

Harris (Russell Peters/Vandit Bhatt) and his side kick Reeves (Faizon Love/Kyle Massey) score some super CIA grown alien Area 51 pot on their way to a concert. They wake up 30 years later, hence the pun title...and their van still worked...tires fully inflated...now that was unbelievable. We do the initial shock and adjusting to a new time period routine that should have been funny, but wasn't. Harris drops in on his old girlfriend (Alex Meneses) and has an idea to open a chili-pot restaurant.The film was light on drama and even lighter on comedy. It was a good idea that was squandered. Needed better actors and dialogue.Guide: F-word. Implied sex. No nudity.

It will take you all of five minutes to know what sort of ride your in for with this one. Russell Peters is pretty funny as a stand up comedian and actually he's a pretty decent actor. Paired here with Faizon Love it isn't the greatest combination of on screen presence but that's noting compared to the ridiculous story line, silly frat-boy humour and paper thin plot your left to deal with. The rest of the cast is very able and given what they have to work with do a stellar job.I had to seriously wonder 'what were they thinking'... repeatedly! as I watched the scenes unfold. I think the writer and producer were probably high when they came up with this notion, and rolled the whole thing over in a couple of weeks for all the development that seems to have gone into it. I actually think this could have been a pretty good (if silly) movie with a bit more care, attention, planning, production, writing... the list goes on, but hey, it is it what it is.Given the above, you probably think I hated it, but I didn't. I liked it. OK there were only a few laugh out loud moments, and some of the toilet humour will make you cringe (if most of the other stuff doesn't) but I still had no problem watching it to the end even as I knew I was being duped in doing so. Truthfully I can't recommend it. It rubbish and I doubt many will disagree, I even question my sown sanity if giving it this score, but...
