Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
中规中矩吧，导演太给自己加戏了，不过包哥还是yyds。。
剧本可以，能看出用了心思，但整体提升空间很大。
有点宁浩的路数但没太突出，还是保持了优映的高质量特色，挺好。
剧情很不错，一环扣一环，看完之后有一种温暖的感觉，人真的应该多敞开心扉，对人真诚，不要总活在自己的世界里，多关注下周围的人和事！
怎么说呢，依旧是优映那个模板那个套路，看多了也少了些惊喜感，放作是毛骗杀不死这种情节里，也许因为篇幅问题可以有更好的延申，然而叙事的节奏并没有比电视剧更快或者更好，这部电影大约和杀不死的两三集节奏体量是差不多的，且这是网大，局面上和氛围上比之一般电影还更加逊色一节（哪怕是囧系列类网大院线，也因为制作足够精良而会有更好的视觉体验），娱乐情况下尚可，但这部电影的整体观感我感觉还略逊于之前的《非常保镖》。
还不错，符合毛骗团队的调性，多线交织不慌不乱，挖完坑好好埋，小人物事件贴近生活，还有小人物的正义感，诙谐幽默，算是国产网剧良心作品了。期待更多好作品！
3分+的片子，4分则是多一分情怀。电影整体架构像是疯狂的石头和两杆大烟枪 可惜总体感觉差点东西，不过多处埋的伏笔依然很棒。
能来看这个片应该都是毛骗粉丝吧。名字，剧情，人设都是普通的不能再普通了，如果不是几位主演，就这个制作，也就艺术院校大学网剧水准，要加油啦，你看看隔壁万和。。。
粉丝滤镜没办法
看到一半的时候都想打2星了。从冬冬爆发开始就还蛮好笑的，包哥还是那么牛🍺，后来骑小车上桥“钱我不要了，差不多得了”真的笑死。。剧情+搞笑3星，一如既往给毛骗剧组滤镜加1星。

这个故事，还是有点像杀不死的结构，而且也是对日常生活的一个深入解读，和戏剧性夸张表现，虽然说咱们不应该总以毛骗的标准去要求优映，但是这一部确实不那么尽如人意，我相信大家跟我的想法差不多，就是希望优映还能搞出那种，普通的场景，接地气的演员，拍出一种大片既视感
2、双男主的人物塑造过于单薄，人物设定没有说服力，还没有冬冬那伙人出彩
快看完的时候我都不理解分为啥这么低，设定，演技，梗都有，只到开始团战！团战戏太拉跨了，首先你们不是已经想到报警了吗，为啥没报？第二天才报警，那一团伙的人都被控制了一晚上？最熟悉路线的出租车司机最后才到？改片设定算是缜密有诚意了，可惜一场团战没设定好毁了！还有，东东是不是被陈翔传染了，爱给自己来牛B设定！
原来的配方，熟悉的味道。邢冬冬可是胖了太多了
作为小成本喜剧，拍的还可以了。后半段剧情有点冗长。
是我现在的要求太低了吗，从头到尾没摸过手机就已经可以打五分啦（开玩笑，真的挺好看的，编剧导演一定是盖里奇死忠）
惊喜啊！团队惯有的小套路小冲击大幽默各种反转巧合无厘头，两个小时里发挥的淋漓尽致，搞笑-情感-冲击都衔接非常密切，随着剧情波动无尿点。看到每一个演员出来就已经开始笑和感动了，继续加油做下去吧~
持续关注优映文化❤️话说邵庄真是一点都不变老啊
只要有这个团队的片看了都不会太差，跟杀不死类似的模式，反转剧情，强大的思维能力把片中的每个人每股势力集中在一起使得人物关系错综复杂却又都联系在一起。看得出来团队在为今年的异物志憋大招筹经费，所以异物直到底什么时候上线呀～～
