Michael Hanake meets the Blair Witch Project in Kim Gok's Exhausted, a vicious kick in the pants to everyone in the audience, all in the name of "style." A man meets a mute woman, and as any reasonable person would do in such a situation, makes her his prostitute. But the pimping is the least of our problems. As we get exhausted by the grainy faux-16mm camerawork, the film gets increasingly deranged. The closest thing we get to a sympathetic character is the pimp, simply because he's got too much self-respect to fuck a mute whore. Everyone else is either a gory mess, or a gory mess in disguise. Even the prostitute, which even a thug like Lars von Trier would make likeable, comes off as a delirious scary woman whose shrieks strike like blows to the jugular.
Kim Gok has seemingly abandoned the Marxist critiques of his short films, going instead for mindless brutality which culminates in an endless bloody freak-show involving, among other things, a pair of scissors going where pairs of scissors should not go. In the middle of the bloodbath, we get an extended long take of the beaten prostitute's near-dead face, but it does not elicit sympathy or pity. In fact, images of the victim only make us shy away in shock. (Indeed, the extended sequence led to continuous walk-outs during the Pusan screening.) The long take invites us to stare, but it assumes we're as sadistic as the victimizer (and the film) is. Meanwhile the sound-effects (mostly a rumbling bassline that shakes the theater) pulsates with pure wickedness. With Hanake, shock creates reflection, which asks that we be critical. Here, we only want to escape. I suppose Exhausted has some virtues; the shots of drilling machines and factories provide a mesmerizing phallic backdrop to the pimp and prostitute's pursuits. But everything else hurts too much. At least Kim Ki-duk lets us breathe. Exhausted makes Bad Guy look like Lady and the Tramp. (asiaarts.ucla.edu)
我有点想看日本版了。
魏翔的自传式电影，虽然更像舞台剧，但演员的努力表演跃然屏幕。许冠杰的歌曲《天才白痴梦》很契合剧情，成功只比未成功多了一点坚持。
所谓电影界的山寨塑料顶级品，太后现代了（没有在夸它的意思）
能明显感觉到观众的笑点提高了很多，影院里的笑声相比以前的喜剧电影少了很多。个人觉得马丽变了，真的没有以前搞笑了。看来，才华输出也是有限的。
魔幻时刻的几个著名片段演绎的都不错。片子最大的意义是，给了魏翔这个开心麻花团队常年绿叶一次几乎可以说是量身定制的机会。虽然机会是留给有准备的人，但有这个机会也是很不容易的。四星给努力的人。
全程比较尬，影院里没几个人笑得出来，作为一部喜剧挺失败的。
魏翔一个人在撑5星，马丽比在其他电影里稍微更真挚一点4星，小黄的硬坳实在顶不住…1星，艾伦最后喊的“说谁瞎呢！”4星，平均——3.5星。
还不错吧，本来对开心麻花和马丽的戏已经很抵触了，陪家人去看的，没想到出品尚可。主要是剧本没有那么多尬笑的包袱，借用戏中戏中戏的手法讲述了一个小演员的辛酸故事，包袱应用的火候还好，用力过猛的不多。布景服化道比较Low，但是用片场剧情来包装倒也很圆滑的打了擦边球。里面很多致敬经典电影的桥段，比如雨中曲、教父、黄金大镖客、赌神等等，人生如戏，戏梦人生。片尾看到杀青告白里魏翔激动的感谢大家帮他完成第一步男主角的戏，与戏中情节对应真真假假，更是感叹电影是一个造梦的艺术，戏里戏外宛如南柯一梦。
有两段挺好笑 除此之外我感觉这不是电影..
对得起春节档的一部片子吧，在我这儿7.5分。魏翔老师有几个镜头愣是给我感觉好像刘奕君。
因为知道是演戏，所以就算夸张也合理，所以可以抛去合理性放声大笑，看的很愉快。
魏翔版《喜剧之王》，挺暖心挺欢乐的，可惜春节档期忘看这个了
还是老毛病，太小舞台化，如果是个话剧或小品应该不错，但电影失格。
原版起码是有立意在的，这版就是硬尬了，至于无厘头和致敬星爷这几个字就别提了。
我有点想看日本版了。
卷入黑帮夺位风波，假装高级杀手，救援明星导演姐弟。
低成本麻花大戏 似乎从90分钟硬拉到近两小时 后半段显得很拖沓无料狗尾续貂 拉低了麻花大电影的下限 但在同期垃圾片的衬托下还是很优秀（不值35元以上的票价
和早一个月上映的《李茂扮太子》很类似，片名都玩谐音梗，主演都有马丽，题材都是“身份互换”，笑料都给的很足量，贺岁档氛围统统拉满。一个宣扬“平凡真幸福”，一个宣扬“坚持会成功”，都是最朴实、普世的价值观。
流水的男主，铁打的马丽
背景设置非常糟烂，让一切看起来都是一出浮云。确实有几场不错的戏，但仅此而已。
