Watch: Slow Learners 2015 123movies, Full Movie Online – Jeff and Anne, two close friends and co-workers in a suburban high school, are embarrassingly unlucky at love. With nothing else to lose, they hatch a plan to transform themselves over the course of a sex-and-alcohol-fueled summer into the cool, confident people they aspire to be. At first an exhilarating adventure of self-discovery, Jeff and Anne’s journey turns into a laugh-out-loud experiment as they lose their identities, their dignity, and quite possibly each other..
Plot: High school guidance counselor Jeff and his platonic friend and co-worker Anne are responsible, well intentioned, kind… and boring. They frustratingly watch on as their peers find love and companionship, while they continue to fail in spectacular fashion when it comes to romance. As they reach their loneliness breaking point, they make a pact to forgo their familiar, vanilla personas in exchange for their unexplored, confident alter egos. They wave goodbye to Jeff’s awkward all-male book club and Anne’s flailing attempts to catch the eye of Jeff’s sexy neighbor Max, and say hello to raucous summer nights filled with booze, dancing, and sex. Naturally things don’t exactly go according to plan.

Intermittently Funny But Ultimately Silly
Having been a big fan of Adam Pally from his TV work, I perhaps was hoping too much for a big screen Happy Endings. This movie is far from that. Though it has its funny moments, especially the opening sequence, and certainly Pally is frequently adorable and even heart breaking, the writing and direction here are so disjointed that i felt like it was three different movies patched together into one. The only time the movie, and Pally, really came to life was in the scenes with Pally’s character and his parents. Those rang true, were funny and heart warming. And there was real chemistry among those characters. There was no chemistry between Pally and the object of his affection here, played by Sarah Burns. Her over the top performance and annoying facial tics did nothing to make me like this character or want the leads to end up together. The writing and directing are probably more to blame than Ms. Burns (they gave Mr. Pally a few facial tics of his own that were equally annoying). In the end, everything rings false and you know where it’s going from start to finish.
6.5/10
Right off the bat this movie was hitting me with laugh after laugh and I was really enjoying it. Then, the plot happened. It’s kind of hard to tell at first or when watching the trailer if this is a straight- comedy movie or if it’s one of those movies like The Skeleton Twins (which I haven’t seen, I’m just using it as an example) where there are some jokes and it’s light-hearted now and then, but at the core it’s a… well I’m not sure what the word is, but like light drama with not very complex plot that just shows a couple people’s lives. Hopefully you know the type of movie I’m talking about there. But yeah, this movie was the second one. Which is kind of a shame because like I said, when there were jokes they were really good. Some of the lines with the book club had me cracking up! They started to space out the jokes a lot more as the plot progressed and they became more centered around the drama in the characters’ lives, though. Which I have to say wasn’t extremely compelling. I mean… it was fine, but it also frustrated me how they ended up making it be about the romantic tension between Sarah Burns and Adam Pally’s characters. I personally would have much preferred it if they had kept them as friends. There was even a line from Burns’ character early in the film where she says (and I’m paraphrasing, here) “That is so cliché! So the two single people in the room automatically belong together?”, but then they go ahead and use the cliché anyway! It’s very frustrating.Anyway, they do manage to throw in some pretty solid jokes here and there dispersed throughout the character’s situations, at least. They even end strongly on one last joke, although it is paired with a kiss between the two main characters (which again, I’m totally against them being a couple).
It is nice to see these actors getting some work, because all the one’s I recognize in this movie are really funny and under-appreciated and they really prove just how funny they can be in this film. Adam Pally is actually one of my favorite actors to stumble upon while watching things, ever since I saw him on the show Happy Endings. I also really liked seeing Catherine Reitman, Bobby Moynihan, and Cecily Strong. Everyone else I didn’t really recognize, but they were really good too.
I really wanted to put this movie on my recommendations list 2016 after sitting through the first couple minutes of jokes, but by the end of the movie I didn’t feel like I had enjoyed it enough to recommend it.
