Did you know there is a movie there starring Owen Wilson, Zack Galifianakis, Amy Poller, the late Edward Herman, "Office" Ena Fisher, Peter Bogdanovich, and even Melissa Rauch of "Big Bang theory?" is written and directed by Matthew Weiner, veteran of "Sopranos" Who continued to create "crazy men?" Are you wondering why you haven't seen him before?! Probably because that movie, "Are You Here" in 2014 was a huge flop - but I'll go back to it in just a moment. First, what is "are you here" - what is currently proving quite popular in Amazon Prime's video - for?

When we first meet with Wilson's local meteorome, Steve Dallas, he is a chin And it blows its money on expensive dates, just to hit the bad news the day before broadcasting. When his childhood friend Ben Baker (Galifianakis) burst into the studio to announce that his father had died and needed Steve to take him to the funeral; The two appear so late that they do not even make the casket lowered to the ground, but despite that, Ben learns that he is the main virtue of his father's will, succeeding several million dollars and a farm.

If you watch this synopsis and feel like this movie is everywhere, that's because That is. Basically, Ben does not know how to lead the farm, gives it to Steve, sleeps with her own stepmother Angela (Laura Ramsey), and the two make great chaos to end relatively happy. So what should the critics say about "Are you here" when it came out?

The answer to that question is that critics had very little good things to say "Are you here" when it hit theaters in 2014. The film only has 8% rating of rotten tomatoesAnd the critical consensus is quite gloomy to match: "Given the amount of talent collected from both sides of the camera," Are you here "falls confusing flat." So what about individual critics who saw the film? The Fun weeklyChris Nashavati was pretty blunt, writing, in the directorial debut of "Crazy Men", Matthew Weiner, directorial debut on the big screen, you are aggressively here, all the dark humor and gentle shades of the characters we used to watch on his TV series visibly absent. " (Yes, so is; "crazy people" were Already in the air when this comes out.) David Rooney of Hollywood reporter He repeated ours, saying: "This unfortunate mission will only provide enjoyment for creative television creatives who are not rooted for Matthew Weiner to stumble."

Over Theujork PostSarah Stewart got the right to the point: "There is little to explain the existence of this confusing film about unusual." Claudia Puig actually took a similar approach to USA todayWriting: "It's so pointless, tricky and tricky, it's almost invincible." Perhaps the only overview of the "Are you here" border comes from David Edelstein from Magazine in YorkyorkWho said about the film: "It's funny, clumsy, serious and barely credible, but it's all a piece" - Ben Kenigsberg in Theujork Times There were also some Measured praise, calling the film "(AN) Entraing Muddle, which is considered in search of identity".

Fortunately for Owen Wilson, one of his best projects It appeared immediately after the disastrous "Are you here" - specifically, a role in Wes Anderson's 2014 film "Grand Budapest Hotel". Wilson, who worked with Anderson on several previous projects, including Ruschmore, Royal Tenenbaus, Aquatic Life with Steve Zisu and "Darjeling Limited" (and co -wrote those two), appears in the Oscar -nominated Ensemble movie like M. Chuck, the Leader of the Brotherhood of Concierge. That same year, Wilson worked with different Anderson - Paul Thomas Anderson, to be accurate - the "inherent deputy", adaptation of the confusing novel by Thomas Pinchon, who also starred Aoakin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon and Bennio Del. Wilson teamed up with the first Anderson years later in 2021 for the "French dispatcher", and in recent years, he also diversified his sequel to modern romantic comedies (like "Match Me" in 2022), and even traveling to The Marvel film universe thanks to its role as Mobius M. Mobius in "Loki".

So what about Zack Galifianakis? At that time, he was probably best known for his work in Trilogy "Mammurks" (though he later said he regrets the entire "trilogy" aspect), but he followed "Are You Here" with the 2014 Birdman movie, which eventually continued to win the best picture of the Academy Awards next year. Galifianakis continued to borrow his voice at "Lego Batman" as a Joker in 2017, inhaling a new life in his long-term "talk show" in 2019 with "Between Two Functions: Movie", and appeared in recent comedies as " Beanie Bubble "and" Winner ". As for "Are you here", you can convey it to the Amazon Prime video now, if please.
