What is it about? Mike Howell (Jesse Eisenberg) is a pothead who 's only goal in life is to smoke pot and contemplate about the meaning of life while staring at the night sky. He has no ambition or any purpose in life. And yet somehow, he still manages to have a girlfriend (Kristen Stewart). As if that isn 't implausible enough, it seems that he is also a government agent with a set of deadly skills. He just doesn 't know it because he requires "activation" to actually be able to use his skills. When the governments decides he should be eliminated, his skills get activated and what follows is a string of explosions, dead bodies, and slightly below average jokes. Who should watch it? Should I watch it with my kid(s)? No. Way too many violent scenes. Is it good to watch on a date? I would consider it a "date movie", …show more content…

Is it based on something? No. Is this movie a must-see? A huge "NO". Similar movies like "American Ultra"? "Pineapple Express" and "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle" are way better. Judgment time! It seems nobody liked "American Ultra". Critics mangled it, and judging from the box office, general public didn 't like it either. It 's easy to see why. This was supposed to be an action/comedy movie with lots of humor and some cool action scenes. But, the jokes were horrendous. I think my sense of humor covers a broad spectre of jokes; I find a lot of things hilarious. And yet, this movie managed to stay out of that spectre. The action scenes were so generic, it 's not even funny. I 've seen better scenes in Steven Segal 's movies who had significantly smaller budget. The story is so ridiculous, it actually serves as something to laugh it, which is a good thing, since nothing else was funny. I realize that one shouldn 't expect a great story in this type of movies, but when there 's nothing else that works, you want at least something to cling on too. Kristen Stewart was NOT the worst thing about this movie, which speaks volumes. I

    The Austin Powers’ movies are known for their crude humor, specifically Austin Powers in Goldmember. The actors did such a fantastic job staying in character and making the relationship between one another realistic and lively. These character relationships also helped shape the never ending comedy in the movie. The plot of the movie was also well-written thanks to Mike Myers and his fellow writers. There were a few bloopers, but they were not that noticeable at all.

    Rudd, Malco, and Rogen provide so many gut-busting laughs that the movie can float with them alone. Many of the film’s best moments come from the interactions of these three actors, who also are able to offer some of the most quotable lines of dialogue in the film. In addition to the supporting cast, there are also a great number of cameo appearances from other comedians and stars such as Jonah Hill, David Koechner, and Kevin Hart to name a few. The worst aspect of this film is the somewhat long running time.

    I thought that this film was extremely well done. I was very creeped out by the events which occurred in the film, especially Tim’s abrupt and graphic suicide at the end of the film. I think that the directors were very effective in capturing the attention of the audience, and in allowing the audience to feel the fear and horror that the characters felt throughout the film. However, there were storylines that started very strong but were not developed throughout the film, which really upset me. An example of this is when Marco cheated on Karo with another girl, and Karo did not find out, which shows how the situation was never resolved.
