Blistering performances.

It's over the top, it's hilarious, it's crazy, it's dumb, the acting is oke. It's that kind of a movie which you hate very much or love it. Don't expect too much, then you'll have a good 95 minutes wasted ;-)
Honestly almost wet myself. It's not a deep movie and was never supposed to be which is why I guess there are so many poor reviews. I didn't expect much from this but it was well worth a watch. Plenty laughs to be had.
Netflix is starting to build quite a stable of quality films that have never played at the theaters. That used to be a red flag when a movie went straight to home video. Now, streaming services are going to put the movie theaters out of business.I've never watched Workaholics, but I'm familiar with the work of the actors. Adam Devine, Anders Holm and Blake Anderson play pot smoking, clueless waiters in a luxury hotel who have an idea for a video game. They plan to sneak pitch the idea to a wealthy Middle Eastern playboy, Bae (Utkarsh Ambudkar) during a late night party. However, the high rise hotel that is taken over by terrorists, ala Die Hard. Neal McDonough plays the terrorist leader, Rhona Mitra is his female assassin, and Daniel Stern is the hotel manager. Along the way, several famous people, actors and comedians show up playing themselves as hostages in the hotel. Joel McHale, Donald Faison, Steve-O, Shaggy, and Mark Cuban are some of the famous faces who show up. The plot is pretty standard fare with the typical gross out jokes and sophomoric humor you would expect from these guys. Somehow, strangely, it works. I laughed my head off through most of the film and there is a kitchen fight scene that had me both groaning and laughing. Shaggy is forced to sing a rendition of his hit, "It Wasn't Me" by the terrorists and its hilarious. The terrorists also rig up the hostages with bomb necklaces like in Swordfish with unexpected and sad results. This movie won't make any "best of" lists, but it was pretty damn funny. It did a great send up of Die Hard and I was fully expecting Bruce Willis to show up (and disappointed when he didn't.)
Loved the trio in Workaholics, and they make a deliciously hilarious comeback in this film. Top laughs, fast-paced action, clever plot. Die Hard (1) meets Some Mothers do 'Ave Them.
