Why so much hype?

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

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This movie is one of the best comedies I've seen in a while. My friends showed me Childish Gambino then told me about this movie. I watched it and I loved it, I loved it so much I had to buy a copy afterward to show my friends. They loved it too. But enough with my story. The movie is mostly done with stupid comedy that mostly teens and young adults from high school to college will love. Adults will like its clever comedy witch they balance out though the film perfectly. I recommend this movie to anyone having a movie night, or just want to watch a funny movie with their friends. The only thing about this film I didn't like is that it does have a few slow points but it makes up for it with the hilarious scenes. Check it out!

This is a frustrating movie. That's because the idea for "Mystery Team" is great--three junior crime fighters (much like Encyclopedia Brown or the Hardy Boys) are getting a bit too old for such childish adventures. But, the film often delves into VERY adult territory--material that is bound to unnecessarily alienate and offend many.The film begins with three VERY nerdy friends talking about, what else, solving crimes. However, there really are no mysteries about--and they mostly just harass a poor neighbor on life support. At school, the three are either ignored or beaten up, as they don't even come close to fitting in with other high school seniors. However, eventually one of their totally unimportant mysteries actually leads to a very serious and deadly crime...MURDER! Along the way, they visit strip joints, go to wild parties and nearly get themselves killed--which is very tough for three guys who make Steve Urkel and Screech look like a sophisticated men of the world! The film has many funny moments and I loved the idea of 18 year-olds who act like precious 10 year-olds from 1960. The fish out of water aspect is very enjoyable. But, again and again, the film chooses jokes about erections, nudity, bestiality and other stuff that becomes tiresome. It's a shame, as a more literate script would have made a TERRIFIC film. As is, it's a guilty pleasure you should watch well after you put your kids to bed!! a bit crude sort of like Encyclopedia Brown

This film was pretty funny. You have to like these guys sense of humor though. I use to watch all their stuff online and I thought it was pretty funny. I saw a trailer for the movie here and had to watch it. Donald Glover is pretty funny and has one of the funniest screams in cinema. Dominic Dierkes had a funny character, but as for himself, he was just OK. D.C. Pierson has a great character and he was pretty watch to just listen to. There is a fun little cast for this film and faces you would have seen from different shows on TV. The great thing about this movie is it is about mystery, so the story line was actually not that bad and even had a twist ending like most mysteries do. So we have a good story and tons of laughs. That makes a pretty decent comedy. The only real problem they had was that sometimes the film got kind of cheesy and it would ruin the film. Or some scenes would stretch just a hair too much and almost ruin the laugh. So overall, you will get some laughs out of this film and you can tell that the cast not only got into their characters, but they just plain out had fun with it.

Not sure why some people hate the movie so much. Of course this isn't a family film and the movie is not to be taken so seriously. I suppose that a movie can't please everyone. I for one am a fan of Derrick Comedy and this was good time spent. I hadn't laughed from a movie as much as I have after watching this one. Although I did feel that one of the main three characters was left out, it actually portrayed what the character's personality was. The first couple of minutes didn't make the movie seem that great, but as the story progresses, it gets better. As for the plot itself, it's not what makes the movie good. This movie is a comedy, and for what comedies do, it was spot on. In the end it's going to be up to you to decide whether you like it or not, but I for one recommend it. Maybe it's because of all the hours I've been awake so far, but I was laughing the whole way through.
