Trailer—Venus & Vegas

source: Venus & Vegas

Eric (Eddie Guerra), Stu (Donald Faison) and Alex (Eddie Kaye Thomas) play three likeable second story men. Eric is in love with Tara (Jaime Pressly) who has left him for someone else. Stu is thinking about marrying his girlfriend (Roselyn Sanchez) who doesn't know is pregnant. Alex bets on horses and lives at home with his oversexed grandmother (Florence Henderson). The guys get phone calls at inopportune moments. They eventually rob a crime boss and things don't go as planned. The film has all the makings of a good comedy, but failed to deliver. The jokes and comedy were mostly stale. Second tier rental at best. Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex. Male rear nudity. G-string nudity.

OK. I am going to be quick on this one. this is a very average movie. even below average at points. some chuckles. not any great laughs. mediocre story. not bad, not very good either. the only thing that left me with a happy feeling after watching this was Eddie Kaye Thomas's acting (the guy from American Pie, the one with Stifler's mom) he is brilliant. i think he is going to be a great comedian. he has so much more potential. just take the horse track scene. perhaps the only hilarious scene in the whole movie. and look at him in other scenes. he *can* act physically. and just look at his face movements. i really think he should be given a better chance in bigger movies. and i can't figure out why his scenes are funny and OK, but other scenes are sometimes so boring and borderline bad. could it be his are written by a separate writer? or others are not 100% acting their best (and they are good actors, from hilarious shows). i don't know.... to sum it up it's worth a watch. only if to watch Eddie's scenes.
