REVIEW:
Man, this is an underwhelmingly boring film. I'm not even going to sugar coat this, rather just get into it. "Results" is a film that played at this year's Sundance Film Festival and stars a bunch of recognizable faces, including Guy Pearce and Cobie Smulders. The movie pretty much revolves around a fitness center, specifically two people who work there and a guy who joins their program. Romance and shenanigans ensue, but honestly, I never felt fully invested in what was going on. Sure the acting was fine, but as a whole the movie is a simple concept that didn't have much depth to it. Guy Pearce is a lot of fun to watch here, and there are some moments where I chuckled I will admit. Unfortunately, I never got interested in what was being presented, and wasn't focused on everything happening. This film is like a special kind of food: some will like it, others won't. I happen to be on the side of the spectrum that didn't care for this movie. If you do, that's awesome. Me? Well, it wasn't my cup of tea.
I just saw the film and thought is was hilarious. The performances are spot on.
