CGiii Comment

Did anyone actually read the script before the cameras started rolling?!?

Because...dear hearts, for a comedy...it's a flaccid fiasco.

Dave Franco...comedy is not your thing.

Tom Wilkinson...what were you thinking?

Vince Vaughn...starting to become a habit.

You will have to wait 52 minutes before the gay bit...Nick Frost is a rubber-clad bear in a toilet with numerous 'occupied' glory-holes...

It's not exactly a highlight in this dim-witted, squib of a film.

The(ir) Blurb...

A hard-working small business owner (Vince Vaughn) and his two associates (Tom Wilkinson, Dave Franco) travel to Europe to close the most important deal of their lives. But what began as a routine business trip goes off the rails in every imaginable - and unimaginable - way, including unplanned stops at a massive sex fetish event and a global economic summit.


 

GLAAD

This raunchy comedy follows a group of failed businessmen who travel to Germany in hopes of making a deal that will save their floundering company. Comedian Nick Frost appears as Bill, the presumed intermediary to the deal who turns out to be an assistant. The three men track him down at a gay bar during the Folsom Europe street fair. Leading man Dan is speaking with two disembodied men on the other side of a wall who are encouraging him to perform sexual favors on them (audiences only see the men’s genitalia) before recognizing Bill’s voice when a third person shows up. Bill, Dan, and his business partners spend the evening partying, and Bill shares that he has turned to anonymous public sex out of insecurity relating to his size and age. While Bill’s story is mostly confined to this one night of partying, he does drive the plot forward by encouraging the men to meet with his boss and close the deal that could save their firm when they are ready to give up. The most that can be said of the film is that it manages to mostly subvert the expected gay panic as Dan simply replies he isn’t interested, rather than expressing disgust at a man blatantly hitting on him.

Rauchy?!? Define raunchy! It is not raunchy. But, hey, no gay panic...so, it's all good with GLAAD!
