"Road cinema", or road-movie, is one of thefavorite subgenre artisans of Hollywood: playwrights, directors, producers. In films of this genre theme, both novice and popular actors like to appear. "Vprityk" was therefore considered a deliberately successful project, in addition, the film has all the signs of a good comedy.
The narrative narrative of the comedy "Vprityk", actorsand whose roles are matched to each other almost perfectly, introduces the viewer to the protagonist Peter Hyman (Downey Jr.), returning from a business trip to Los Angeles, where his first-born should appear in a week. At the airport, fate brings him to the imaginary actor Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis), who set out to conquer Hollywood with the support of his snow-white bulldog Sunny. Because of an unfortunate misunderstanding, both men are dropped from the airliner, blacklisted, and as a result, they will not be able to use the services of airlines for a certain period of time. Peter, being without money and any documents confirming his identity, decides at whatever cost to have time for the birth of his wife and rashly agrees to go with the intolerable Ethan and his dog across America in a car.
Such a story should have been embodied on the screenactors involved in the project. "Whirl" was created by a whole creative group of like-minded people, and Todd Phillips acted not only in the hypostasis of the director, but also the co-producer.
In the comedy directed by Todd Phillips there isthe fundamental feature that makes it a win-win option for fans of the comedy genre is humor "on the edge." The creators in a rather beaten plot, albeit funny, put in a lot of jokes, over which, it seems, laugh silly and even indecent, but to keep from laughing is unreal.
In the center of the plot narrative are twothe main characters, in sharp contrast to each other - Peter and Ethan, whose roles were performed by all well-known actors. "Vprityk" gave the world one more brilliant pair of comedians - Zach Galifianakis and Robert Downey-ml.
Between their characters, according to the director, there isa kind of "anti-chemistry" that hinders their communication. Peter is an eternally busy, cynical businessman, neatly folding things and not parting with hands-free. Ethan - too sentimental, friendly loser, imagines himself an actor and genuinely believes in Shakespeare's popular saying about "life-theater" and "people-actors." To all the same, involuntary companions have an additional irritating factor, which inevitably derives from Peter, is the bulldog of Sunny, similar in character and habits to his master.
Perfectly fit in the narrative and the heroJamie Foxx, unfortunately, he had very little screen time. Not bad showed themselves and vtoroplanovye actors. "Butt" would not be such a spectacular sight without the participation of Michelle Monahan, Juliette Lewis, Danny McBride and others.
Directed by Todd Phillips, who began his career with"Road adventure", just specializing in funny "road" comedies, his best work is considered to be the tape "The Hangover", in the domestic version of "Bachelor Party in Vegas". In this fly-away comedy there were a lot of gags and colorful characters, among which the freakish Alan, the brother-in-law of the main character, stood out most of all, attracting the attention of the viewer more than others. In the new masterpiece, the director made the actor Zak Galifianakis the executor of the main role, which is the "cement" of the entire plot narrative.
His hero Ethan - a real "highlight" of the picture,his atypical gestures, unique facial expressions - interesting finds of the actor, confirming his unique abilities for reincarnation. His creative career Zak began with a few humorous numbers, which demonstrated to all comers New Yorkers just on the street, near the van selling hamburgers. After the unexpectedly surging popularity, the actor conducted a talk show on television, presenting to the broad audience the newly-minted underground stars. The world-famous Galifianakis was brought pictures "Bachelor Party in Vegas", "Bachelor Party-2", "Bachelor Party-3" and, of course, "Vprityk". Actors who work with Zach, prophesy to him a brilliant career in the film industry, however, already now his filmography has passed for the mark of 30 films.
The actors of the film "Vprityk" did not expect to seewith himself on the set of one of the highest-paid actors of the factory of Grez by Forbes version. The creative path of Robert John Downey Jr. is full of ups and downs. He began his acting career in early childhood, by the early 90's he was already the most popular artist, thanks to his participation in such films as "Air America", "Native Killers", "Charlie Chaplin". But after a string of scandals due to drug addiction that erupted in the late 1990s, and the downtime of Downey-Jr. returned to the big screen only in 2001. The return was truly triumphant, all the pictures with his participation became successful, among them: Gothic, Zodiac, Soldiers of Failure and the media franchise Iron Man. Through participation in the projects of Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes, the actor was awarded the Golden Globe.
His hero in the comedy "Back to Back" Peter - thoughtfuland a clear image, most of them devoid of comic cliches in behavior. The presence of such a master of the scene did not allow to slip into the unworthy balagan level of the film "Vprityk". Actors-partners in the shop Downey-ml. Do not be surprised at the skill of the actor, his great dramatic talent.
