First of all, let me get something clear. I'm not rating this filmbased on the quality a film should have. I'm rating this film base onwhat it's trying to be. And it's stupid, tasteless and shameless fun.And it does beautifully. There is nothing subtle or puzzling about it.There is nothing even cool. It's weird, it's clumsy. It's what itshould be. It's just about a lot of people making fool of themselves.And not in the "oh, what did I just did!?!?" way. More like "MrOfficer, what's wrong with running on the street naked wearing a piratehat. Is it the pirate hat?" The script is none existent, thecharacter's have little to none development. There isn't any sense inthe most that is happening on the screen. But that doesn't matter. Justgo watch the trailer and if u laugh, there is a big chance u'll findother things to laugh in the movie

Written and directed with all the style of a wretchedly unfunny sitcomon the CW or its predecessors, the WB and UPN, Hard Breakers sets a newlow in product placement by prominently displaying an infomercial inone scene. Fortunately, this movie is so thoroughly terrible that sucha crass move fits in perfectly with the crippled plotting, abortivecharacterizations and leaden comedy. And by leaden comedy, I mean theydon't just rely on stereotypical gay jokes in 2010. They use the samegag of the main characters not knowing they're in a gay-orientedbusiness twice. Sophie Monk also embarrasses herself here with weakacting and weaker mugging for the camera. And director Leah Sturgisreveals that she has as much imagination as the average catfish byrepeating the exact same establishing shot over and over and overagain. This is just a pitiful effort.Alexis (Cameron Richardson) and Lindsay (Sophie Monk) are friends whohang out at their beach house and complain about men. They eventuallyhit upon the idea of knocking men unconscious and taking them back totheir place, with the idea that the men will revive, have sex with themand then leave. Shockingly, that plan doesn't work out so well and thenAlexis gets tied up by this absurd movie producer (Chris Kattan) andmust be rescued by her neglectful father, Lindsey and Alexis' stalkerex-boyfriend. That's really all of Hard Breakers' story guck I canstand to repeat.Firstly, Sophie Monk does take her top off in this film but if youblink, you'll miss it. Cameron Richardson doesn't get naked, but somepoor actress flashes her boobs in a depressing moment. I'm not one tocomplain about gratuitous nudity but this almost slapped me in the facewith how cheaply exploitative it was. There's really not a lot of badlanguage here and the humor isn't even that crude. So if you're lookingfor raunch, keep looking.It's difficult to even tear into this disaster as hard as it deservesbecause the whole production is so pathetic it feels like kicking aretarded puppy. Co-writers Sturgis and Elaine Fogg make so manyelementary mistakes with their script and their writing is sounintentionally awkward that I feel more sorrow than anger toward them.Watching this motion picture is like watching a kid trying to ridetheir bike for the first time without training wheels and seeing themcrash every 5 feet. Someone should have stepped in and stopped theproduction like a boxing referee protecting a fighter that's beingbeaten to death. I can't imagine anyone in Hollywood seeing HardBreakers and then hiring Sturgis and Fogg as dog walkers, let alone forany cinema-related job.This fiasco is not funny. It's not sexy. It's not outrageous. It barelymakes any logical sense. Avoid Hard Breakers like it has an incurablevenereal disease.

After watching this movie over 100 times, as a composer and friend ofLeah, I can say, without a doubt, this movie was of divine inception.I'm not being bias either, it's truly amazingly well done. Watching itat the Directors Guild in Hollywood, CA USA, I was even more impressedwith the final cut. Being that my grandma was a famous actress of the30's - 50's, (Phyllis Kennedy) I found similarity in the characterdevelopment and eager anticipation of the next unknown plot twist keptme in my chair. Like those old great movies it flows through its up'sand down's as the story builds to its climax, complete with tearjerking moment. A perfect date movie, and it stays in your head, as youremember scenes later, and think... genius!!! This movie is a hit, andI am proud to have been a part of it.... Leah you rock!!

This video is totally awesome! I find it cool and interesting. Ithought it would just be another American Pie movie. But i enjoyed itmore rather than American Pie. I love the part where the girl wouldfind her real match. Someone who can make her a better person. Someonewho can change her. That's what every girls' dream. To find the rightguy for her. Someone who can correct all the wrongs in her life. And Ilove the friendship they build in this movie. Having your best friendwith you thru thick or thin is the best things in life. And being withher all the time is the great time of my life. It was totally fun! Iappreciated this movie well.

"My emotionally crippling father has nothing to do with the fact that Iknock guys over the head and have sex with them." Two girls, Alexis(Richardson) & Lindsay (Monk) are single and living in Los Angeles.They have a hard time finding dates and after failure after failurethey decide to change their approach. They walk around, see someonethat looks cute and knock them out, when they wake up in the girlshouse the date begins. Every once in a while it is nice to just sitback and relax watching a movie that you don't have to think about.Like most of this type of movie they try to put a deep emotional plotin it without realizing that there is only one reason that people willwant to watch. This is another movie where the plot isn't needed andyou can just put in and veg out to. Sometimes those movies are neededafter watching some emotional ones. All that said this is a movie abouttwo hot blondes who have problems (?) getting dates. Think the"Sweetest Thing" but more of a "USA up-all night" version. After allthis you are probably wondering one thing and no...there isn't reallythat much nudity in this. Overall, if you want a movie you don't haveto think about and just watch you could do worse. I give it a C.

I usually don't write reviews but after watching this movie, I had tomention how bad this movie was and so registered into IMDb and am nowwriting this review. This movie makes me feel like I've just lost 2hours of my life and trust me, I've seen bad movies. Anyways, there isno storyline, the scenes change haphazardly and the script isincoherent. The only tolerable part of this movie are the eye-candiesin the form of the 2 lead actresses but you are bound to get boredafter a while looking at their bodies, and awful acting. Don't want tobe too harsh on them but they should have seriously gotten their brainschecked before accepting this movie. And what is a talented actor likeTom Arnold doing in this movie? Seriously, was he threatened to act inthis movie or what? I wouldn't recommend this movie even if this is the last movie onEarth. Go play ball instead.

Well...I've tried to watch it and I was pretty sick of this movie after10 minutes. It's simply another one of those movies that doesen't haveany message nor interesting developments and story...the problem withit is simply everything: writing (story ,script ,characters ,jokes...),direction (terrible...), and acting (the cast was pretty terrible).It's an illogic mess of a movie -I mean ,two hot blonde girls 'hunting'men for the perfect love...that's just stupid beyond words...why wouldthose girls even bother?...guys would be their slaves and beg to talkto them anyway so the whole story is just a complete a bunch of b.s.And besides -it's not funny at all. The whole movie didn't even made mecrack a smile...it's full of sex humor and sex scenes (needles to saythat it's sexist...) not mentioning how vulgar it is. In conclusion:don't even bother watching this low trash.
