Someone Marry Barry (2014)

 

Three lifelong friends with Wife's, Kids, Jobs and general adult responsibilities plot to get their social train wreck of a  friend Barry (Tyler Labine) a girlfriend, in the hope that she will 'take him off their hands', but it backfires when he meets Melanie (Brit Lucy Punch) who is just like him.

Slightly overweight bloke with his pants down, a comedy that on the outside looks like the type of thing even Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) might turn down, doesn't sound like a fun idea, but this little flick surprised me. Very likable characters, even Barry's character, obnoxious, vulgar, yes, but just like his partner Melanie, strangely likable, and very funny with great chemistry.

Crass, crude and rude, but good all round performances, and consistently funny, an enjoyable unsophisticated vey amusing 90 minutes entertainment.
