Movie Review - Men
I saw Men last night. It's been twelve hours since I was sitting in my seat and I'm still confused by what I saw. I was hoping for an epiphany overnight but alas, I'm still scratching my head.
It's at this point in my review I would like to give a shout-out to the most brilliant man I've ever known. My brother, the creator of RunPee and an overall great guy. He added a new feature to our grading system. Instead of just A through F; we now have a WTF option. I'm absolutely, one hundred percent going to click that option today.
Towards the end of the movie, the last twenty minutes in fact, I leaned over and asked my husband if he had perhaps slipped acid or LSD in my dinner or drink. These were some of the craziest, messed up, brain-bending scenes I've ever witnessed, and I've been around the block a time or two.
I don't want to ruin the surprise but I will let you know... You're going to see some male anatomy up close and very personal. Like, in your face here I am, what's that? You can't see well enough? Here, let me zoom in more.
The first half of the movie is saturated with amazing cinematography. So much so that I feel they overdid it. At one point I'm watching and I'm thinking to myself, "Wow that's a great shot, then another and another." Finally, my brain said, "Now they're just showing off." I was really excited when I read a few other reviews that stated the same thing. They solidified my thoughts.
I honestly can't figure out if it was great or if it killed off a bunch of my greatly needed brain cells. (Don't forget I've been around the block a time or two, I've lived to the extreme) I can fully state, that they stumped me.
I can't figure out if I would recommend this movie, I'm curious what you guys would think, but I don't want to make anyone mad. So if you decide to see it, please comment, I would really like to hear your take on Men.
