The Go-Getters

The Go-Getters had been on my radar for a little while. The poster stood out from the rest and the premise was interesting: A deadbeat drunk, Owen and a junkie hooker, Lacie join forces to take on the city, each other, and their own personal shortcomings while trying to scam $98 for bus tickets out of town. I like both our main characters, and I'll say they both have good chemistry. I'll also say that the way they play off each other comedically is very good, I had a lot of chuckles and some laughs. Not that I want to insult the movie, but this movie plays best when you're having a really 'meh' day; not a sh$t day, but a really 'meh' sort of day, it'll actually make your day. Has a lot of 'gross' but darkly humorous moments that'll catch you off guard. The more serious moments also work themselves into the storyline very well, especially with Owen's brother Kevin. I wish this movie had been a little big longer, at least to have more comedic moments between Owen and Lacie, they really do have a lot of good chemistry.

I'm looking forward to director Jeremy LaLonde's next movie, and I'm giving The Go-Getters a 6 out of 10

Made it 20 mins in and had to turn it off it was so bad. Not funny but very stupid and bland. I do not know what has happened to comedy in the last few years but really good comedies are seeming to be a thing of the past. If i could have i would have rated this -5

A tale of learning that sometimes you think it's better running away from your problems than dealing with them. Entertaining take on it.

I don't usually write reviews - this is my first one on IMDB.

Usually with smaller productions like this you have a ton of fake reviews and usually they're pretty dismal.

But I'm in Scotland, UK - and have just watched this movie.

And I have to give credit to the cast and crew! It's brilliant!!

Much better than expected. I've given it 9/10 and that's VERY high for me.

Mainly because of how hard they tried, the humour, the cast, and all done on a budget. But looked professional enough to be a mainstream movie.

It was very engrossing and addictive. I really could connect with the characters.

So do yourself a favour - and watch it!

It may not be to everyone's taste - but my GF & I thought it was a lot of fun and we're in our 40's!

The Go-Getters is hilarious throughout, with nonstop energy and funny quips from start to finish. Committed performances, great writing and directing, well shot - everything is on point. I love the characters, and didn't want it to end. One of my favorite films of 2018.
