This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I really like these guys from Workaholics... and at first, I thought they let me down. But it kicks in as soon as the siege begins. And there are two of the funniest scenes I've seen in a film this year - the "warning shot" Mexican stand-off and the climax with Daniel Stern's member being tossed about -- which might just be the smartest take on the recent Hollywood sexual harassment scandals I've seen yet.

Scanning through the other reviews here... I'm way in the minority on this. But I suggest going in to this knowing that it is juvenile, vulgar and and not to be taken too seriously... and perhaps take an edible as well.

This popped up on Netflix at the perfect time for me to chuckle, go "you know what, why not check it out. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised."

I pushed myself to just keep going three times through the first scene and made it to 6:09.
Review by davidehrlich ★★ 4

The only convincing explanation for the existence of “Game Over, Man!” is that the brain trust behind Comedy Central’s “Workaholics” got really high on salvia one night and started to wonder what a remake of “Die Hard” might look like if it were written by Judd Apatow, directed by McG, and financed by whatever spare change they had in their pockets. How else to rationalize an action-comedy in which three burnout white dudes (suffering from some very severe bromantic tension) wind up going all “Pineapple Express” on the terrorists who raid the hotel where they work, take a handful of celebrity hostages, and amputate Daniel Stern’s dick? Stranger things have happened, especially on Netflix.

“Game Over, Man!” is exactly the…

If die hard ate a dodgy paul blart curry this would be the mess it left in the toilet.

guy#1 said to guy#2, after having just killed #2's boyfriend, "IM SORRY I KILLED HIM. I'LL BE YOUR BOYFRIEND!" while being choked by #2 and i laughed so hard i started to choke as well
Review by Dawson Joyce ★★

A comedic homage slash riff on Die Hard whose existence is pointless considering the fact that Die Hard is already a very funny film to begin with, Netflix's Game Over, Man! may have a committed cast and some decent gags here and there, but the overall affair is just a dull, tone-deaf, mostly unfunny experience that has the visual panache of a sitcom and the feel of an overlong episode of Workaholics than it does an actual feature film.

Review by LiteralVis ★★★

I was stoked to see that the core Workaholics team made a movie. As a fan of Workaholics and Die Hard, this seemed like a slam dunk. Unfortunately, like most TV shows making the leap to R-rated movie it suffers from the common issues of uneven pacing and extra vulgarity. I was entertained but it was missing something. Instead of their usual clever take on dumb comedy, it felt like a movie made by their Workaholics characters - funny and full of ideas but unfocused and unpolished.
Review by tmhollandss ★★★★

I did not go into this film with high expectations but can honestly say I enjoyed most of it. It was a little too gruesome at times for me but with the various celebrity cameos and the 'workaholics' boys, it really made for an amazingly entertaining film.
Review by Very Flammable Dandelions ★

This movie can’t decide whether it wants to be an inoffensive yet smart comedy or an explosively offensive one, and as a result the few good ideas are lost in the poor control of tone and shock humor that fails to do anything new or particularly funny.
Review by Froof ★

This is just awful, sorry, nothing else to say.
Review by J.D. Giesbrecht ★★★½

I’m pretty sure I’m not supposed to like this, but somehow I did.

80% das piadas nao funciona... mas o resto sim :)
Review by Dirty Mike ★★★

It fails as a comedy, 4 good jokes, 3 I can't remember, the other one was about Vaping. As an action movie about morons saving the day, I enjoyed it.

It's like Paul Blart 2, but with 3 dudes, penis's, pot, swearing, and bloody violence. Even as the same bad guy from PB2.

The beginning was bad, but once shit got going I was entertained
