Naked

3/4

A Netflix original comedy starring none other than Scary Movie guy Marlon Wayans... scared yet? From looking at this movie, it will strike as something that doesn't look good off paper. However, I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed myself.

The plot is simple: A man-child is about to get married when he and his buddies get wasted the night before. Cut to him waking up naked in an elevator, making it to his wedding before a time loop takes him back into the elevator naked. This happens until he can pull of his marriage perfectly (he screws up a lot, hence the conflict).

Not only does it provide laughs, but over the course of an hour (repeated dozens of times) you get to see Wayan's character truly mature and grow. He gets to see hear those at the wedding reprimand him (which turned out to be giving him advice) so he could know how to improve circa next shot of redemption. Although it strives to be a little more than a popcorn flick, it's harder to take its message more seriously in it's context.

It's a fun movie for some laughs on Friday night, that also has (very little) depth if you look hard enough. However, don't subscribe to Netflix just to watch this: it can be missed.

This film tells the story of a man who wakes up in an elevator naked, on his wedding day.

It is a very funny film. I like the fact that he has ample opportunities to get everything right! Life sometimes does not give second chances, but in here it offers hope and second chances. It is incredibly sweet and romantic as well. I really enjoyed it.

It's not original (yes Groundhog was there before ... time and time again) and it is kind of juvenille when it comes to humor. Still while it's not laugh out loud funny, this is an improvement to those other comedies we've seen lately from Marlon. While that may not mean anything to some people, some others may appreciate it.

Leaving it up to you to decide. There is no sound explanation as to why this is happening, but why bother? It's not like most viewers will care. Those who are taken by the story will not ask for it, those who don't like the jokes will ask for it, but wouldn't be satisfied no matter what the answer is. Some neat cameos, some interesting ideas and a "social" message are included ...

This is a very well made movie in a cliche' genre and of the type of plot you either make it or break it ....

and the director and crew have been quite successful at not ruining it ... in fact, less than a quarter an hour into the movie just as i was thinking 'do i really want to continue watching this?' i just forgot about what i thought and was nearly hooked until the very end ... it's not easy to to have so many repeated scenes without boring the audience really ... good job!

It's an entertaining film. Not a laughing gas but has mediocre humor. It's neither a must watch film nor a don't watch film. You can watch it on a bad day or on a train way home or while waiting for someone, you don't even need full attention. Just watch it on the go.
