Get a Job is a so-so movie that was shot in 2012 but only released in 2016 when most of its cast became famous in the interim period.It is mainly about college graduates entering the uncertain world of work and how they deal with it. Which is mainly not well which leads to money issues and confidence problems.Will Davis (Miles Teller) thinks he has a job lined up after working as a summer intern only to discover that the firm had downsized and he needs to find another job quickly. His room mates are struggling with their jobs as well. His father (Bryan Cranston) and his girlfriend (Anna Kendrick) both lose their jobs soon after.The youngsters are hard working slackers and it is the employers that are actually presented as vile but the film is not really that funny.

This film delayed its release for a couple of years due to the distribution issues. That's not it, the film is no good, the writing was terrible, but a bunch of good actors in it. It is about the recent college graduates who struggles to get a job, even if they do, finds hard to fit in. A very good theme, but they failed to draw a decent storyline for it. I think they knew the film won't get a good response, so they used 'distribution issue' card to hold it back, but now it's out and the result was as expected.It should have been called a drama than the comedy, because right now it lacks from those two categories. It digs on the topics like workplace bullying, harassment, as well as the youngsters' addiction to drugs and video games. In one of the scenes it emotionally appeals when the father tries to pay the bill in a restaurant. They had the right content, but lost in the translation to the screen. There's no proper flow in the story, they had tried too much, at a time it all remained very plain.This is the second film to release in this year for Anna Kendrick and both of them did no good for her, especially this film fell short from a long distance. Same goes for Miles Teller and Bryan Cranston. I hope they all forget it and come strong in their next projects. A few people might like it, but not me. I like quality contents where this film is not one. Thankfully it was short, but only thing is it was not sweet.3/10

'GET A JOB': Four Stars (Out of Five)A 'slacker millennials' comedy flick; about a group of recent college graduates, desperately trying to make it in the adult working class world. It stars Miles Teller, Bryan Cranston, Anna Kendrick, Nicholas Braun, Brandon T. Jackson, Christopher Mintz- Plasse, Marcia Gay Harden, Alison Brie, Bruce Davison and Jorge Garcia. The film was directed by Dylan Kidd, and written by first time screenwriters Kyle Pennekamp and Scott Turpel. It was filmed, and completed, four years prior to it's release (due to distribution problems); and it's received almost entirely negative reviews from critics as well. Despite these problems, I really enjoyed it!Will Davis (Teller) recently graduated from college, and worked his ass off at a summer internship (for free), only to have his promised job position taken from him; by his lying greedy (would be) employers. His friends, and roommates, all struggle with their jobs as well; but his father (Cranston), and his girlfriend (Kendrick), nag him to find employment. Then the tables are turned, and his dad and gf are both out of work, while Will has a promising new job.I don't understand the negative reviews at all! I think they're mostly due to the troubled (delayed) releasing of the film, which isn't the movie's fault, and then also the film's strong liberal message (that actually makes millennials look good, and greedy employers look bad). Most millennials are hard working, don't just want free stuff, and they actually have it a lot harder than most of their parents did (times are much tougher now); as this film nicely illustrates. Besides that, the movie is just fun to watch, upbeat (despite it's negative subject matter) and funny (at times). The performances are all good, the directing is decent, and it's just a fun time at the movies (with a positive message to boot)!Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/- KJTB5KGois

This movie was entertaining. Nowhere near as bad as some are saying. Get a Job doesn't take it self too seriously. From the get go the pace of the film keeps constant and at no time did it feel like it slowed down. It has a lot of heart and its not a movie that has jokes coming at you from left and right non stop through out the movie but the story telling and the comedy that it does have is more than enough. It relies more on its story telling than its comedy which i found to be a good thing. All actors and actresses worked well together and the acting was very solid. It was exactly what i needed on a Friday night as i said earlier it has a lot of heart and at the end the movie entertained me and was a lot of fun. If i had to describe the movie i would say its a feel good movie. Its message at the end really hit home with me, the music used through out the movie worked and complimented the movie when needed. For what it is it did not disappoint.
