The Clapper

The story is odd, but nicely handled in an almost sit com sort of way. The characters are brilliantly defined almost from the start by the actors, with kudos going to the excellent Seyfried. I'd never have put her in a role like this but she carries it brilliantly and humbly and she shares the stars with the screenwriting.

I had high hopes for The Clapper-the premise seemed great and I love Amanda Seyfried and Ed Helms. But half an hour in, I ended up fast forwarding to the end of the film. Helms and Seyfried do a great job and their love story was sweet, but the rest of the film didn't really know what it wanted to be. The cast does a great job, but they can't save this sinking ship.

This movie is apparently based on a book, but I'm not interested in reading it after seeing the film.

Human beings do not on any level act like this. Audiences dont laugh at terrible jokes and anothers tragedy just because its passed off with blase. Unsurprisingly Ed Helms and Amanda Seyfried both do a great job of representing sweet, out of touch and stressed "nobodys" but the writing here is horrible, not cute just awkward lines just make them into expository dolls despite their best efforts. Im surprised this movie was made but arts a risk and Im sure everyone gave it a college try. Lots of good qualities.

The Clapper is an easy watch, and in most reviews it states , this movie doesnt know what it wants to be. It tries to be a satire, it tries to be a romcom etc. Why does a movie have to be one thing? This movie bravely attempts to navigate a love story with crazy media culture as a backdrop. Its a story about 3 honest people Eddie, Judy and Chris in a very dishonest world. I liked the performance of Ed Helms, Tracy Morgan and Amanda Seyfried. The only thing I had a problem was with the end dialogues between Eddie and Judy. But this is a very small, sweet movie which does paints an honest picture of everything wrong with popular culture. I think time will be kind to this movie.

This film tells the story of a man whose life is turned upside down by a TV show.

It is a great film because Eddie is a down to Earth man who is just like most people who watch this film. I can relate to him easily, as a man who is just trying to make a living. I sympathise with him when his life is basically wrecked by the TV show. It is a great romantic comedy that also explores boundaries of privacy.
