If you want to watch a farce performed by two outstanding comedians, then you may be disappointed. I am one of them.

The two leading actors are currently very popular and highly qualified comedians, one old and one young. This time they gathered together and starred in a very old-fashioned comedy between two people who clashed due to job promotion. Looking at the genre, it may be a very vulgar comedy. As a result, the director made it into a deep, realistic and somewhat dark humorous film.

The story is simple, but the characters are not simple. This time, many viewers may suddenly find that the active kid in "American Pie" also has a deep side, and the performance of that kind of inner drama is not inferior. And the middle-aged man played a Canadian just right this time. As a result, the end of the story is a little light, not a happy reunion, after all, this is not a comedy, but a reality show.

In addition, the wives of the two leading actors are familiar faces. This director is really capable of finding such a helper to act such a simple story.

By the way, time to learn English in movies: cut the cheese, there is another meaning. . .

    Use the chapters of inspirational tapes as the progressive main line, this idea can be used for reference. Overall not enough conflict, very bland film

    First Community Leader: It's isolated.

    Richard: Oh yeah, it's a one-time thing.

    First Community Leader: What's that?

    Richard: I agree, it's isolated. I think it was just some 'black apples'. We won't be seeing that happen again.

    [Long pause between everyone]

    First Community Leader: Black apples.

    Richard: What's that?

    First Community Leader: You said, 'black apples'?

    [Another long pause]

    Richard: I said bad ones...?

    First Community Leader: The fuck you said bad.

    Richard: Bad apples?

    First Community Leader: You said black.

    Richard: I'm sorry if there's some confusion. Maybe in the confusion, I...

    Mitch: Hey, come on. It's been a long day. That was a slip.

    First Community Leader: This is a lot of shit.

    Richard: You are not a black apple to me. I said, that possibly, there was one black one in the batch, not you. And I didn't mean to say black. I meant 'back'... 'blatch', blah... 'blapples'.

    [the ship tips over when Richard places his tweezers near it]

    Richard: Fuck!

    Motivational Speaker: Every life has its frustrations, but be careful not to let them get the best of you in front of your family. Instead of curses, find a more family-friendly way to express life's frustrations.

    Richard: Fuck you! Ship fuck! Asshole ship! Seven seas fucker! Jolly fucker!
