C Street (2016) Reviews
Bad comedy
Have to be honest, it was gag me with a spoon type of comedy. There is a difference between gag me with a spoon and good funny funny and unfortunately this movie was the former. When two police officers come to your door they don't just all of the sudden appear in your home and then you fight over whose going to take the "flour/sugar" down the street. No cop would be playing tug of war with a citizen. Comedy is good providing that its natural. Also, I don't get the whole story line. What is this supposed to be about? I know its political. Maybe its my age is the reason why I'm not getting some references. It was just bad. Sorry, just my opinion
An okay film
I would say this an okay film. Two words that come to mind is cheesy and cartoon. The cheesy parts are when things happen in the film for comedy that is not plausible to happen in real life. The cartoon part is where they have those "congressional coke head" superman comic book type of titles that come into the movie. Overall, I was able to follow it to the end. I would recommend to folks who like cheesy comedies. Not the best, not the worst. I would most definitely give it a watch. Also, when watching, don't judge it too harshly. It seems like a small budget film and I don't recognize a lot of the actors/actresses. With that said, I give a pat on the back for giving it their best shot.
An insight into the buffoons that run our country
The movie C Street begins with a rousing patriotic march, richly filmed in beautiful Virginia, and immediately takes us to Senior staffer Guy Poppet diligently working the reelection campaign of amicable Senator Cash Fallon. The good senator stakes his reputation on a new Healthcare bill and Poppet's continuing employment depends upon getting the senator elected and bill passed. Likable but lecherous Senator Fallon circles from scandal to scandal, each involving funny but hypocritical politicians that put Poppet in dicey situations, where success, even survival, seems futile. After 49 minutes the story finally takes off to test Guy Poppet's character as he struggles to navigate Washington's corrupt political machine. Funny but larger than life characters are developed and followed to their logical conclusion. When a politician was asked if he gave a woman STD he replied, "I did not send flowers to anyone".
Awesome!
I watched this movie with my 21 year old son and 18 year old daughter and it was a hoot. We really enjoyed all the inside jokes and we are passionate about supporting small budget films. In fact, we have gone to screenings and gala of small films in the past. Filled with a perfect mixture of romance and comedy while also mixing in a few good lessons along the way. My husband wasn't as big of a fan but knowing him this is to be expected. He's more old school but I guess opposites attract! For more liberal folks out there, I view this as a great watch! It would be interesting if they did a prequel that followed Guys life before working for Fallon.
Funny but rough around the edges
This film has some very funny moments! Despite strong performances by Evan Hall and Dylan Walsh, the acting can be a little tiring. The content of the film is topical and is sadly probably not that far fetched. The focus on sexuality is a little off-putting as well. Terrible musical score. If you're a fan of politics and okay with often crude comedy, check it out. The story takes some time to get going when Guy Poppet's character tries to fix Washington's corrupt political machine. My favourite part was when a politician was asked if he gave a woman an STD he replied, "I did not send flowers to anyone". The budget was probably limited as apparent from characters always came to the main character's small room. Also, lighting and dialogue was not very refined.
