The guys occasionally over-reach for irreverence, director and fellow "Workaholics" veteran Kyle Newacheck mainly succeeds in delivering the most defiantly outrageous farce since "Borat."
It will work best for those lamenting the cancellation of the Comedy Central hit that spawned it, but probably not much for anyone else.

I created this account to write a review because I thought the critic reviews were ridiculous. Maybe the type of humor just doesn't appeal to people who take themselves too seriously but I thought this was one of the most entertaining movies I've seen in a while. It's about as crass as Workaholics but the jokes are sharper and more thought out. When I first saw ads for this film I thought the entire thing would be the lows of Workaholics and that these guys had washed out but it consistently hits the highs of the kind of humor these guys are good at. When a lot of the critical reviews say the movie was "mean-spirited" I really have no idea what they're talking about. I had a smile on my face the entire time.

Game Over, Man! becomes to “Workaholics” what “Keanu” was to “Key & Peele” — a sporadically funny riff on a formula that worked much better in small doses. You know it’s a Netflix joint, because it almost feels designed to be half-watched in the background; an overly loud piece of muzak.
Unfortunately, Game Over, Man! sacrifices all the brusque cleverness of their hit show for a warmed-over Die Hard parody that’s too self-indulgent to entertain anyone but the four goofballs who made it.
Game Over, Man! is a sloppy production, with screaming and bullying used as a placeholder for actual jokes. The characters are such enormous jerks that they probably don’t deserve to succeed, at anything, so it’s hard to want to follow their adventures through an entire film.
Game Over, Man! is a movie with few original ideas, plenty of tropes, and not enough love for the Bill Paxton “Aliens” character who made its eponymous catchphrase popular
This almost laugh-free comedy, a Netflix Original directed by Kyle Newacheck, is distinguished by a relentless level of outrageous yet strangely listless vulgarity.
Good clean Workahlics type fun. Lots of cameos, movie in jokes, etc. Would've been even funnier if I'd been drunk.

Did the guys behind Workaholics just try to make their own Keanu? This movie is completely tasteless, but mindlessly entertaining because of just how far it's willing to go for laughs. It's essentially a Die Hard parody that goes out of it's way to push the boundaries of it's R-rating. This overreliance on shock value brings down the experience though as it's the smaller gags that are the funniest. Every ****, f-bomb, celebrity death, and graphic display of booty eating feels unnecessary. As if the writers went through a checklist of every R-rated comedy trope and then decided to add their own layer of nastiness to the mix. The repetition is it's biggest downfall though as the same few jokes are repeated again and again.
On top of being one of the most graphically vulgar movies I've ever seen, it also ranks among the most mean-spirited. The protagonists are unlikable people. Adam DeVine is known for play self-centered psychopaths that are only made tolerable by the fact that those around him are at least slightly better people. Not here though. Everybody is trash so there's nothing to offset the awfulness. Considering that DeVine gets most of the attention that was a pretty big oversight. Did I mention that the movie is also brainless? The dumbest of plots holds this thing together. Why do movies like this often rely on the most outlandish of concepts? The whole idea of their video game is painful. It should have been scrapped for something at least remotely believable. I can't say it's all bad though. It did manage to keep me watching to the end after all. I was weirdly entranced by it's sheer stupidity and excessive filthiness. Sometimes even to the point of amusement. Plus the three leads do have some charisma as evident by the fact that they were able to keep a show going on Comedy Central for seven seasons. I can't entirely recommend it, but just know that if you liked Workaholics there's a pretty high chance you'll find some value here as well. It never managed to ascend beyond anything above merely watchable for me personally as it is comprised of some of the genres biggest flaws, but there's something to be said for the brazen audacity of it all.

"Game Over, Man!" é uma total confusão. As mortes do filme foram ridículas, bem como muitos dos fragmentos de história.

I usually don't do this, but I admit I didn't watch the whole movie. I watched the intro and plus a few minutes. I stopped watching because it was painfully obvious that I wasn't gonna enjoy this movie unless I was a 16 year old skipping school and getting stoned to watch it. Maybe I'm wrong, but from reading reviews, it sounds like others feel the same. Either way, not my cup of tea. I still like weed though.
Report
Besides the fact that is probably one of the worst comedies I've seen in several years and probably one of the worst films in the entire Netflix's repertoire, if there is something this film leaves me thinking is how is it possible that Adam DeVine keep getting roles? Regardless of the quality of the films, the guy is not funny, frankly he always seems to be playing the same dude and I think Hollywood's comedy needs and deserves more.
