Dumbbells (2014)

Waste of time

As Good As It Gets

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

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.

Dumbbells starts out as a truly goofy funny story with some wacky characters and lots of girl candy! There are quick witted lines and comebacks by the actors. So the writers were on the ball because the laughs are fun and quick!Then somewhere after the first half of the story the funny bits begin to dry up quickly and by the finish of the movie it has become amateurish and cute! The the engaging wackiness of the story becomes some biographical confession by Jack Guy the Bumbbells owner.But all isn't lost - it's good lite entertainment with some genuine laughs for all!

I have been on a low budget/sex comedy watching spree of late and I would have to say that this is one of the few movies that I quite enjoyed.The Banker guy really steals the show for me. He kinda reminds you of the Melissa McCarthy rant in 'This is 40' during the ending credits. His role might be rather short but he comes across as a natural.The lead guy has a certain rustic charm about him. The lead girl is incredibly beautiful. It is a simple feel good comedy that you can enjoy with your girlfriend/boyfriend.On the down side the movie could have done with a lot more nudity.Still a good one time watch.

I watched Dumbbells last night, this one is a successful comedy. It's not designed to have a huge story plot but it has one and its relatively simple. For what it is it's kind of over the top for children but young adults will be very amused by this movie. I wouldn't expect older generation seniors and adults to pull as much enjoyment from this movie as would say a 19 year old teen or a 22 year old young adult (me)Brain Drolet did a good job on this movie. It's 100 minutes of fun that will probably have you laughing hysterically at the screen drooling on yourself if you have a sensitive reflex.The mediocre reviews on this film are mediocre themselves. This film deserves a chance by any comedy lover. But be warned if your not at all into comedies you will not be into this movie at all whatsoever. It's not designed as a drama, it is a Comedy first and foremost.The movie all surrounds a small gym where they shoot a movie and get frauded out of a ponzi scheming rich money manager. The resolution at the end of the movie is quite an ironic unexpected twist and really has a good feel.The movies soundtrack is awesome and if you yourself go to a gym you will be staring at the screen or grabbing your Shazam enabled mobile device.

The movie is about this washed-out high school hero that ends up at a local gym. In comes a new owner that ends up in trouble. The owner is former super-model with lots under his belt.The hero finds, somehow, comfort in an impromptu shrink meeting in the locker room, and finds himself. The first part of the movie is not bad at all, it is fun, witty (if you go there with the right mindset), but the last 20 minutes are pretty dull and bad.Not a bad 2 hours to spend seeing something, but don't expect anything above average.
