Tour de Pharmacy (2017)

hyped garbage

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

It's a totally absurd and low-brow film poking fun at the tour de France. If you're a fan of subtlety or only enjoy sophisticated humour, don't bother. I personally thought it was a riot. It looked like the actors were having a blast and all the cameos of sports stars not taking themselves too seriously were brilliant. At only 40 minutes or so in length, the joke didn't wear too thin and I was giggling all the way through.

Tour de pharmacy Man this started out so freaking good! Then it kept recycling and reusing the same jokes over and over and over and over and over and over again. Seriously. I'm tempted to repeat myself fifty times in this review because on the flipping hour I spent watching them reuse multiple jokes multiple times. If they didn't have enough material then why not give us a 30 minute movie? Such a waste. What the heck were they thinking? It is an hour long comedy that feels like it is 3 hours long. Skip this.. or just watch the first ten and last ten minutes.

As a MAMIL I really wanted to like this short film and thought it would be funny and a good irreverent look at cycling and the challenges the sport has faced with doping over the years. What it is is a pretty poor joke of a film with a frankly absurd script, pointless nudity (seemingly for the sake of it), and a story line that just belies belief. The subject matter and parody could have been done in a much more sophisticated and witty way rather than this frankly slapstick, low brow and pointless excuse for a joke. Really disappointed.

Well, these kinds of mockumentaries can be a bit hit and miss. Suffice it to say that this one is simply brilliant. I was laughing out loud the whole way through. The cast is stellar and they have a riot. Who knew Cena could do comedy so well? Orlando Bloom was hilarious and I didn't recognise him at first! Tyson really have poke fun at himself, too.The running gag, involving a certain well-known cyclist is really well done, too.I think HBO may have struck a rich seam here. There are all kinds of sports stories that could be hilarious mockumentaries if they let Andy Sambergh loose on them.Really, watch this!
