Adman Ed Waxman (Brendan Fehr) has just been informed by the higher-ups that if he doesn't come up with a killer campaign in the next 48 hours, he can kiss his high-paying job goodbye. Though work is all Ed can think about as the weekend approaches and inspiration seems to take a vacation, the arrival of Ed's womanizing brother, Cooper (Chris Klein), finds the pair setting out on an altogether different mission: to find the overworked and undersexed Ed some fitting female companionship. Just as a series of disastrous encounters with everyone from single mothers to sultry strippers begins to convince Ed that his love life is in as much trouble as his professional life, the appearance of a woman who could quite possibly be Ed's soul mate provides a glimmer of hope that the situation may not be as dire as he previously thought. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    "Two Brothers. One Weekend. No Shame."

    To put into context just how bad this movie is, is really hard, but I'll try with this statement. It's a more retarded Dorm Daze 2. Yeah, I said it. This has to be the single worst Late Night Comedy I have ever seen. I'm not a fan of these ... read moretype of movies, but every once in a while I can enjoy one. The genre has it's decent movies like the first American Pie(all the other ones suck) and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. But The Long Weekend is a movie(if you can call it that; I'd call it a result of a writer who's parents were brother and sister) that warrants no laughs, not one. If you like this movie; you're either 11 years old and are just realizing how great naked breasts are or you're a fucking idiot. Is that fair to say? You bet your sweet ass it is.

    The Long Weekend can't go 5 minutes without falling back on fart humor. Yeah, that's what we need more of in this world. This almost made me completely lose respect for Cobie Smulders, but I still like her. She's in the best show on tv and she's extremely beautiful. Too bad, she's only onscreen for around 5 minutes. 

    Just one more comment about this amazing piece of filmmaking(wink,wink). I wouldn't have been impressed with this if I had learned it was written by a monkey.

    A pretty good comedy, similar in style to the American Pie films as a brother tries to help his Bro get laid over the weekend.....while his brother has to come up with the perfect ad campaign to save his job! Has some funny moments and situations but not quite as good as the earl... read moreier Pie films.

    It's not really hot with sex comedy to me and Brendan Fehr's a loser by meeting any single mothers to strippers to desperate older ladies. I'm a bit jealous of Chris Klein by touching beautiful women's butts.

    "The Long Weekend" tells the story of Ed Waxman (Brendan Fehr), a reserved advertising executive whose life hit rock bottom when he found his girlfriend videotaping herself having sex with his best friend. His boss gives him an ultimatum - if he does not come up with brilliant ad... read more campaign for his firm's biggest client, an insurance company that's on the verge of seeking another ad agency's service, he can kiss his high-paying job goodbye. He has the weekend to create a new advertising concept but unfortunately, this weekend coincides with his birthday and his playboy brother, Cooper (American Pie Chris Klein) has other plans in store for him. He intends to get his over-worked and under-sexed brother laid but ends up screwing up his life even more as they embark on a weekend of debauchery.

    This is a film that I really had no intentions of seeing and I didn't really know anything about. But I had a few friends watch it and they said I should give it a chance. So I did...I watched it over the weekend and while it wasn't all that great it wasn't all that bad either. ... read more

    It was your typical trying to get laid movie just like the American Pies. Older brother trying to get younger brother laid but nothing works because younger brother is such a lame-o but he winds up hooking up with some hot chick at the end anyways. Yeah yeah....seen it all before. xD But this one did have quite a few laughs which was enough to keep me watching it and keep me interested.

    Chris Klein gave a pretty good performance as the chick magnet older brother Cooper. But by far my favorite was Brendan Fehr. He played the younger brother Ed....whom Cooper is trying to get laid. He was so lame and Fehr played it so well. Some of the parts were so hilarious. I was rolling on a few of the parts.

    The film was good and had it's funny moments but it wasn't enough to over power the fact that I had seen it all before. So...if you are in the mood for an American Pie type film full of hot chicks and guys trying to get laid. This is for you. But if you are tired of seenig the same thing over and over this isn't for you.

    Mostly retarded but a nice junk food movie. The video clips in the film were more amusing than the film itself though.

If you're not a male between 17 and 23 and don't find the chance to see R-rated rejects from America's Funniest Home Videos a good thing, The Long Weekend will be a long and pointless haul.

Brendan Fehr and Chris Klein are both terrible. They have no comic timing, either with each other or the ill-conceived material. Full Review

...nary a laugh to be had unless you're one of those who finds toilet scenes and prison-rape jokes to be automatically hilarious. Full Review
