8/6/9

Video is great for a cam. Audio is clear but laughing from the crowd can be heard through out the movie. And this movie is very funny so there is laughs often. It is like watching a sitcom on tv with a live audience so it is not that bothersome. Very good cam other than that

Video is a wee bit pixelated, audio is your normal hollow cam, and its has audience laughter througout. Seen bits and pieces from both cd's, and the sample. Not too bad for a first release I suppose

vid=6
aud=4
flick=?

Just checked out this movie, watchable. Audio is your typical cam and it has some tilt/lean issus at the beginning and near the ending. Movie is kinda funny but predictable (like you would assume otherwise).

6/6/7

6/6/8

pixelated.angle.laughter

its like watching a fucking series on TV. Everytime there is a joke, the laughter can be heard.

Im gonna wait.

dammmn 40 year old virgin wouldnt be many of them round these days

7/6/?

Sound is good except the laughing. Like the previous posters have said, it sounds like watching a sitcom, so you don't notice the laughter after awhile.

This movie just hits to close to home for me. I am unable to provide any further analysis.

Wow! the CAMs this week are impressive I must say. One thing, remove the laughin


Audio: 6
Video:8
Move:8.5

nothing different to say here than before. othe than a bit of tilting near the beginning and the laugheter (which isnt that noticeable anyhow) this is not too bad of a release, especially for something that came out so early. Anyhow, definitely watchable id say 6/6/7 funny movie btw

from sample

like others said, the video is typical cam quality, a bit dark. Audio is also decent, although there is a lot of laughing in the background from the crowd. Waiting for a better version myself, but good cam nonetheless.

7/6/?

going by the sample 7/6/? looks like it might be a good flick

7/7/5 not bad for a cam

Not bad for a cam??
i would say great job for a cam.
RIDERz seems that have found a great sourse.
nice work guys. keep it up

9/8/6

from sample:

video: very nice! clear and colors look good. there's a slight angle you can see (the top of the vid shows it), but it seems to get corrected by the end of the sample. have to check the whole rls to see if it's throughout.

audio: clear, but as mentioned it's like watching friends. audience laughter heard after the jokes, but it's not overpowering or anything, in fact not that bad.

movie: watching it tomorrow at the theaters.

8/7/x

F&%KING OWNAGE

This is one of the greatest movies ever.
Man this movie so good it needs a TC.

6/6/11< Can I do that?

looks like a cool movie, but i will prob pass on this one for now. nice tho

7/6/?

was also a nice surprise after my weeks vacation

:edit: that was just from the sample, i got the full release and realised that it isnt that good at all really. skimming through it it is constantly shaking, there is an obstruction in the lower left corner, laughter is every joke, pic is quite dark, a little blurry, and also a little grainy and pixelated. not that nice really and drops my rating down a bit

6.5/5(laughing)/?-waiting

low rating because i really cant stand shaking. it just pisses me right off

7/5/10

Okay, this is an hilarious film so getit if you can't wait, but the laughter in this release is a bit distracting, the pic is nice though, but I'd wait for a copy with better sound.

well done RIDERz

7/5/8

the camera is hella shaky but granted it is a cam... really pixelated... colors washed out... the sound is hollow and as mentioned before you have a laugh track... cropped on left side and at an angle unless the shaking stops...

for a cam overall

edit: just finished it. Camera is shaky throughout the entire movie and on cd 1 at about 40 minutes the audio goes out of sync until the end... still very watchable... also it seems that there a a few seconds missing from atleast 3-4 scenes... it just kind ohf jumps to the end... will definately go to the theater to see this... overall this cam is watchable

v6/a5/m10

just finished watchin this, and for a cam, it was pretty good.

the laughing is barely noticable, as the movie's audio comes thru pretty clear. i understood every line.

there did seem to be a few parts durning the movie that looks like it was edited. at around 17-18 minutes, it suddenly jumps to the end of a scene where all the guys are shaving. other than that, there are a few shaky parts during the film, with some cameraman coughs.

this isnt an action movie, so perfect colours isnt as necessary. all in all, for a comedy, this is a pretty good release.

v6/a6/m7

RIDERz,
7/6/?

Based on sample 7/6/?. I'll skip this one and watch this movie in theatres. Probably too good of a movie to just watch at home.

7/5/6

Video watchable 7
Audio average 5
Movie alright 6.5 funny but/lame = ending + car scene etc

thanks Riderz for quick rls v-7 a-6 m-7

Nice work Riderz yet again


V: 8
A: 7
M: 9



For a Cam this ones not to shabby

Just My Two Cents...

Short and sweet and remember, these are ratings compared to other Cams.

Audio - 8 - The Audio on this is very nice. Not the greatest i've heard as it's not direct but still, very nice RIDERz. Props to whoever did this for the audio. Why an 8 instead of a 10 then? 1 point is for it NOT being direct audio and 1 point for all the laughing. I know, it's a comedy but i've seen some comedys (wedding crashers) where the laughing wasn't as prevelant.

Video - 7 - Nice picture but for christs sake sit still when you're camming and also, please, stop with the auto adjust AR or whatever crap is going on. I'd rather see a little bit of the curtain or whatever at the top then to see the black bar's growing and shrinking like it's alive or something. This seems to be going on in a lot of releases lately and I'm sorry to see that. So, again, the picture is great but points are deducted due to the constant movement pretty much of the person filming and the black bars.

Movie - 9 - This year has been the year of the comedy. It's a great year when you can say "The last movie I saw this funny was" and you name a movie that was released not too long ago. (Btw, i'm referring to Wedding Crashers). This movie looked funny in the commercials and was just absolutely HILARIOUS in true form. Rarely see that in a comedy. See this movie. Dont like cams? Go to the theater. It's worth every 200 dollars you'll spend.

Also, props to RIDERz for the release. This will tide ya over until a Retail DVD comes out folks so grab this one.

Good Job. 8/8/8 some minor scenes missing? like 3 instances of couple seconds <20secs

nice release, pic is good and audio, heh, a tad hollow and a soundtrack for a sitcom, u ignore the laughter after a while, aside from that more than watchable and a funny movie, if u can't wait grab it now

based on the full release

7/6/7

__________________

Excellent release for a CAM. You can hear the audience laugh many times throughout cd1. The laughter does die down however .

The audio is more than clear enough to be able to hear everything. The video is watchable, not the greatest but watchable without issue.

The movie is fuckin' funny. Given his stupid look on the billboards, I figured this was going to be a movie about an idiot who doesn't get it and doesn't get "sex" for lack of effort. It actually a movie that is genuinely funny, and doesn't rely on the "make-you-laugh-because-it's-so-dumb" genre. Worth a watch if you avoided it.

7/8/8

Having seen in the theater over the weekend, I can 100% confirm that there are parts missing from this release. Starting with the entire opening scene before he's exercising. Also there are at least 3-4 times throughout the movie that scenes are cut, not only the shaving scene that others have mentioned but also a scene in the electronics store when he first meets Trish. Their entire conversation about the DVD/VCR combo unit is cut...probably about 15-30 seconds.

So...rating what's there and accepting the cuts...

V - 7 (Not bad on a standalone and TV)
A - 7 (Audience laughter, but clear sound)
M - 9

4/6/5

Video: Take a While for the camera man to get adjusted in the begining, pixelated, and dark.

Audio: laughter and hallow

Movie: Descent

V: 7 - The camera man moves constantly, but that's not very noticable. The picture is clear (I saw the movie at the theater and I still think this quality is very watchable). Overall, if you don't mind some moving and flickering, you will be more than satisfied with the video quality!

A: 8 - Large audience parcipitaion (laughs, coughs), but I heard every word easily. If it wasn't for the laughs/coughs, this would have been one of the best sounds for a cam! Great job on this one

M: 8.5 - Very unique and funny as hell (therefore lots of laughs), highly recommended!

Video cropped both sides, opening credits cut off a bit. Noticable jumps in a few scenes, but nothing missing as to plot and laughs. Big laugh track throughout the first CD. Otherwise the sound was good for a cam. Twat factor minimal, only a few times did someone run up the aisle. Best comedy out right now. Makes a good date flick(my lady enjoyed it, even with the crude humor), or a night out with the boys.

7/6/8

Fairly cropped, with the occasional camera movement, but it isn't too bad

Sound is good for a cam, the audience does laugh throughout, but as stated in other posts, it's not bothersome, much like watching a TV sitcom

Nitpickers will want to avoid.

Comedy fans will enjoy. Very funny, would expect nothing less from Steve

Props to Riderz, good job on a much needed film

6/5/9 my god I loved it, One more beer and i would have voted it up for the academy awards.

not a bad release. colours arent too good and the shaking and the persons head in the lower left hand corner is annoying.
overall a goodrelease... very watchable.

id say v-7.5,a-6-m-9

For a CAM, this was pretty decent. Liked this even better than Wedding Crashers (didn't think I'd be saying that). Funny as hell and I think I'll see it in the theaters.

Based on CAM:

Video: 7 -- Cropped, pixelated and shaky. Typical CAM, but definately watchable

Audio: 7 -- Thought I was watchin 70's sitcom for a while with the "laugh track". Was kinda distracting, but not so as to prevent you from hearing the dialogue.

Movie: 9 -- Funniest movie out there. I though Wedding Crashers was the funniest till this one. Excellent!!

Very decent cam. nice job. watched it with the wife. movie itself wasn't very funny. The media had this movie hyped up to be the most funny thing in the world. I was disappointed. had funny parts but wedding crashers was better.

7/7/5

finally watched this version (was waiting for a TS) on the TV last night.

video was decent for a cam, one of the better cams I've seen a while. Still the typical washed out colors, but good enough.

Audio was suprisingly good. This is the main reason i usually avoid cam's.. the hollow, tinny sound with static that come along with them. The audio on this one was easily one of the best I've heard on a cam, could almost pass as direct.

movie was funny.


v:7
a:7.5
m:8

very watchable cam, decent video, audio isn't too bad however it does seem to loose sync a couple of times.
6/6/6

OUT OF SYNC-NOT VERY GOOD-WAIT FOR SOMETHING BETTER

quality is pretty good for a cam, laughing gets irritating but no more than it would on any tv show.. picture is a little pixilated at times but never actually makes the movie hard to watch

7/7.5/9

Out Of Sync

This release is out of sync all the way through, good clear picture but audio is out of sync so sucks on that point! good film!

As Cam

8/2/9
