It's a totally cute movie. Quite refreshing in this day and age. Quirky little love story in a world of chaos

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.

This movie will not change your life and it's not looking to do that. It seems like a relatively low budget indie film that has some heart and the balls to be a little different. Definitely worth a view as the charm will carry this movie over its minor defects.

Very very happy, one of the best drom coms I have seen in a very long time. Loved it!

Hilarious and heart-warming romantic comedy, set in the back-stubbing LA's world of infomercials, is a well-written, jewel of superb acting and razor-sharp directing.The Clapper will make you laugh and cry while you fall in love with Ed Helms and Amanda Seyfriend, whose seemingly ordinary lives become extraordinary fueled by their mutual affection for each other. Bravo to exec. producer, Ray Bouderau, and the rest of the cast! A must-see!

It's like a cross between mumblecore and Andy Samberg. It tries to see just how unpleasant and irritating it can be before you turn it off. This is a movie that hates movies hates TV hates infomercials and hates its audience. And it hates you.

Who wrote this?? This was so forced and fake that it was painful to watch. I was only able to last for 30 mins and had to turn it off. It's slow, it's boring, and it tries too hard but still fails miserably. The story is completely pointless and goes no where. The acting is ok but it's the writing that just makes this painful to watch. The dialog is so.... whatever. These people need to learn about timing!!

This is exactly who Ed Helms plays in almost every single thing he does. Just this sort of middle-aged sad sack schlubbing his way through life, not really depressed or sad, just going no where fast. And inevitably there's a far younger attractive woman toiling away at a dead end job with a whacky dream job whom he sparks up a romance with only to get in his own way time and time again because hey...it's Ed Helms and that's what he does. Dorky schlub that over reacts and makes life difficult for himself until everything magically works out in the end and everyone is happy. That's honestly the entire movie. There weren't really any laughs, the plot is very thin, and the acting and interactions just never really seemed to have any life to it. It's just a guy who makes a living by sitting in infomercial audiences and a late night talk show notices him and starts up a nightly bit turning him into a sort of mystery sensation. This gets in the way of his romance. And there you go, that's the movie. It's unoffensive and easy background noise but there's nothing special, unique, or charming about it. It's a pretty paint by number rom-com and literally the exact same thing Ed Helms does in every single appearance. Also can we stop having lame old guys being matched up with far younger attractive women? I just don't buy it. Watch if you're bored with absolutely nothing else to keep you occupied.

Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend. Amanda Seyfried, Ed Helms, and Tracy Morgan all do a wonderful job navigating the nuances of these roles. The big problem I have with the movie is part of the core of the story they are telling. There are real people with that type of job, and they're small but important to the industry. The movie paints highlighting these people as a terrible thing, but that's exactly what the movie is doing to the real people it is based on. And while we like talk shows like the one that targets the Clapper, there are bad always the sausage is made because their motivations are to stay alive, stay better than there competitors: people end up becoming a casualty of success.
