Summary: VIEW WITH A DIFFERENCE
Review: First of all I would like to say this film doesn't even deserve 1 star, but I had no choice but to give it one.
On the cover that was on it in my local video rental store it read 'No.1 US Box Office Smash Hit!'-HELLO?!? They obviously thought people over here in Ireland wouldn't find out that this is a failure of a movie so they thought they could pass it off as a 'good' film.When watching it, I actually felt embarassed- ...embarassed for wasting 4euro on it and for the actors who in 5 years time may find some sense and realise how completley stupid they were.If a bad storyline(which, by the way, doesn't exist) and a bunch of talentless actors who were so unfunny it makes you cringe watching it isn't bad enough- they could've at LEAST got decent camera men!In almost every scene-the camera swayed around or/and the leads for the'filming equipment'(which probably consisted of two seriously cheap camcorders and a baaaaaaaaaaad mike!)were visible while one of those grey fluffy microphone-things hovered aimlessly on the top of the screen.I seriously doubt that the camera-men/man knew what they were doing and to be honest I could've made a better job myself with my handheld camcorder and a bunch of my friends-who, by the way are all aged 15/17.
But then the film was nearing the end- it showed the whole crew dancing and just having fun as regular friends-and that just made me think to myself that they're just a group of good friends (good, rich friends!)having harmless fun. I mean, if you were 20,innocent,and living free and had the opportunity to throw together a movie with your best friends which probably wasn't even gonna be viewed by more than a handful of people- you'd probably be up for it right?
So, okay, this film is no 'It's a BeautifulLife' -or 'Mrs.Doubtfire' for that matter-To those who have watched this movie-who cares if it's garbage-lighten up and don't let it bother you.It's not like the people who made it expected anyhting more than a good laugh from it.It's only a movie after all,isn't it?
TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT YET SEEN THIS MOVIE-don't even let it pass your mind to consider renting this movie-it will only get you worked up, or in my case, leave you with a great deal of sympathy for the people who get worked up by it!

Summary: OH MY GOD!
Review: I picked up this movie in blockbuster because of the cover, and because i like black comedies. It started and for about half an hour this one guy was organising a bar-b-q. The way the scene's just cut made me question the producers ability and sanity. I thought however that i will bear wih it and that when the bar-b-q starts, the fun will begin. I couldn't be more wrong, all it was, was cutting to different scene's about different people talking about nothing to do with anything.

I admire the way the director managed to fool all these actors into taking part in this atrocity and the way he hid the story-line so well, that no has since found it. I admire also the way that so many (30+) pathetic actors managed to fool the casting crew into appearing on this film. Think about it- the main actor was supposed to be this big-time actor in hollywood, so you would think they would hire someone with at least a little
talent. My suspicion is that they were all best friends with some cash to burn making a movie.

The movie was so bad that some-parts where made funny. EG, that prat who spoke in the posh English accent and those Sissy's (epsc
near the end when they where trying to act hard). This movie signals hope for all ameteur film makers and right now i can't belive i spent $5 on it.

PS. I can't wait for the two new movies comming out, BAR-B-Q UNCUT in which there is an extra 45mins of phone conversation at the begining and secondly BAR-B-Q 2 in which all are favourite actors join up to hold another bar-b-q but this time in somebody else's house, i can't wait, the suspense is killing me.

Summary: Oh dear
Review: I rented this film, and what a waste of money. At first i thought it may be america humour, but looking at the review, the film is basically just the directors humour. Everything about this film is bad. I never even watched the end of the film. The acting is terrible. The film is that bad, that after 10 minutes i was skipping through the scenes to find something slightly funny, but to no avail. Why did i even rate this film? Because the director deserves it for getting this film released on DVD and video! This director would make a great salesman.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: yeah, I watched it.
Review: If you strapped a camera on a monkey's back and just let him walk around town it would be still better then this movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: oh yeah & it's homophobic too...
Review: In addition to being generally amateurish and inane and woefully unfunny this film is also very mean-spirited to gay folks too. There's a hideous 'comic' sequence where a campy gay guy is mistreated by other party-goers that the film-maker thought so hilarious it's shown all over again at the end. Most depressing.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good for passing time....
Review: Ok, this movie is supposed to be in the tradition of Ice Cubes "Friday" movies. Well this movie is nowhere near as good as Friday. There really is no story to this movie, however it is good for a few laughs (in some scenes). I mean for the price it's not all that bad. It is good for passing time, it all just depends on your sense of humor. This would be a good rental but you probably shouldn't buy it. Once you see it you'll realize why it never hit the theatres. The acting is horrible, but somehow it makes it more realistic (like a home video).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What the hell were they thinking?
Review: Out of every movie ever made... this is quite possibly the WORST! The only thing this dvd is good for is a) Use as a coaster. b) For the guys at Mystery Science Theater to destroy. The acting is AWFUL, THe script is bad and the camera work is so shoddy it was like it was being filmed on a trampoline while barry white was jumping all around the camera man... lets face it IT[S BAD]!!!!! avoid it!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ...Poor Directing and Production
Review: This film lacks a story. Some of the actors, whom I met personally were ok, but the story was so bad that not even a great actor could do something with this. All of a sudden, we have a BBQ with all of these folks that would never hang out together on any given day. The director should be ashamed.
I saw the film and was so embarrassed by the stupidity of the entire film. If the story was halfway decent I could excuse the poor quality cinemotography, but there was NO excuse for this filmmaker taking all these folks for a ride.

Not only was the Director JOHN WEST a lousy producer, actor and director, he stiffed all of the actors and most of the vendors he used for his movie, then had the audacity to hide from everyone. But you can find his no good, low down self pretending that God is his inspiration at [his website]. He and a few of his low life friends have resurfaced as a new company called VELLI ENTERTAINMENT producing more sorry films such as the one that you unfortunately wasted money on. Many of his new films are under his low life friend's names to hide him from the many people he [messed] over. Black Witch Project, Hell to the Naw, To Have and to Hold, Amore Infinity.

Summary: What theF@#K
Review: This is without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen. That counts student films,All of the movies on IFILM. Every movie anywhere. This thing is not even a movie it's a collection of unfunny bits With the actors standing on their marks not moving for fear of falling out of frame or stepping out of their key light if there were any key lights.

(...).
I hope everyone reads this and saves themselves the pain of sitting and trying to watch it.
