この映画について

THE CLIMB is a hilarious - and oftentimes awkward -examination of the toxic lifelong friendship of Mike and Kyle. While Kyle is kind, and a bit of a pushover, Mike is a train wreck, who despite his affection for Kyle, seems to sabotage all of Kyle's relationships. Told through a series of vignettes, Kyle struggles to deal with the fact that his best friend might just be the worst person for him.

評価とレビュー

The climb is a chronology of long takes all choreographed and written with skill and precision that document the continuous friendship of two individuals over the course of many years. It's consistently impressive but before anything else it's one of the rare comedies that genuinely made me laugh all throughout. It's smart writing and clever jokes all based on good character building rather that cheap comedy as seen in mainstream comedies. The Climb is full of heart and it shows from every brimming corner of the film. The acting is really great, the music is well used, the cinematography is understated but incredibly impressive, etc. I highly recommend this comedy, it's hilarious AND valuable.

In the mold of 4 Weddings & a Funeral. Look at online 'people' reviews & you will see this is a fun comedy that is actually excellent, despite never hearing of it. (I found it on a Virgin plan).
