All About The Money (2017)

Three losers looking for luck in a situation way beyond their control. With Danny Trejo 90min imdb

Recap:

So there are these three losers, all of them in trouble deep, but the dumbest of them comes up with a “plan” to finally become successful: all they have to do is to capture the head of a drug cartel and cash in the reward. So they fly to Columbia without even knowing that this is not a city in Mexico.

Okay, so here we have another loser comedy, and I’m cool with that, I can relate. Oh, and there is Danny Trejo in it. And yes, there are some funny jokes in it. And no, nobody is wearing their kid gloves. There is a whole lot of “language” in it and drugs and violence and blood, so you cannot say this was made by whimps who are too whimpy to go over the top. They even gave the part with the full frontal nudity to a transperson with some parts of the surgery completed and some parts not.

So what we have here is a very decent comedy. It is not the greatest innovation since sliced bread. I mean like, will it surprise you that the dumbest person in the movie is an exmarine? But it is very watchable and fun.

And by the way: the part of Denny Trejo is neither big nor superfunny.

Pastor Shepherd (2010)

Heartwarming comedy about a loser who deserves some luck. With Danny Trejo. 91min imdb

Review:

Shepherd looks like the child of love of Jason Bateman and Norman Bates, a shockingly normal face with a grin that hurts to even look at, one cannot even start to imagine just how much it must hurt to display it while walking from door to door telling people that you want to freeze dry their pets and then returning home to a mom whose vital functions are reduced to donating money to TV scammers. Since he is too shy to talk to Danny Trejo’s beautiful daughter, the only thing that gives meaning to his life is what he does alone in the shed, often using a chainsaw.

It’s nice every now and then to discover a movie that just tells a story that’s worth watching. I don’t know what the official definition of the term “feelgood movie” is, but I use the term for comedies that do not pile jokes upon jokes, it may be that you don’t laugh out loud too often, but in the end, well, you just feel good. Pastor Shepherd is a good example.
