BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

John Flynn Half in the Bag is the most disappointing thing I've seen since the day I saw my hamster ejaculating to All About That Bass video. This show was made by people who have no understanding of things like humour and consistency. This show is teeeerrrriible. This show made me kill my hamster. (My hamster hated this show, by the way.) I can't believe that this show was made by the same creative megaminds who made Space Cop. This has to be the biggest downgrade in quality since the day Microsoft outsold Mac. This show is awful. Don't watch it. Mike and Jay (and especially that sexy Mexican gay man Rich Evans) are awful. They lack sense of humour. They're teeeerrrrible. Don't. Watch. It.

Reamusray I started watching Half In The Bag 2 years ago. Watching the channel grow has been a true pleasure since this is by far the most hilariously inappropriate yet also professional blend of comedy gold and satire.The set-piece of "Lightning fast VHS" is a brilliant addition adding a lot more creativity than your average YouTube channel that deem their reviews to be "hilarity's". We follow Mike and Jay, and Mr.Plinkett, an otherwise unsettling and sinister old man who like to make love to his pets and abuse hookers. Mike and Jay both play the parts of VHS repair men looking to extort money from Mr. Plinkett by attempting to repair his VHS. Those Female Russian Terminator tapes ain't gonna watch themselves you know! I wont go into a lot of details, since you really have to watch this show to enjoy and admire its sheer levels of comedy that make you question "Why is Adam Sandler so rich, when these guys are far more hilarious?!". Speaking of that con-man, I would advise starting with the wet yourself.One last note also - Rich Evans is a majestic human being. Every street corner should contain at least one Rich Evans. His laughter is like butter to the ears...Love it! 10/10

mrdjx In the post Roger Ebert era where proper film criticism is few and far between, Half in the Bag is one of the funniest and most insightful film review shows on Youtube. A comedic spin on the traditional film review format, Half In the Bag blurs the lines between sitcom, satire and film discussion. The setup is thus, Mike and Jay are employees/owners of a business called Lightning Fast VCR Repair. Seemingly their only client is Harry S. Plinkett, a blind, aging, senile old man, who is somewhat oblivious to their inability to do their jobs productively and competently. Mike and Jay take advantage of Plinkett, by using their time to bum around and discuss films. The fictional narrative that is wrapped around the reviews gives the presenters leeway to satirize the films they are reviewing. One of the most notorious examples of this is their review of the film Movie 43 where they describe various jaw droppingly disgusting scenes while hailing the film as a masterwork of comedy. Upon closer inspection it is clear the reviewers are deliberately making these scenes up with scenarios that are more horrifying than funny. Perhaps their most infamous and best moment then is their review of Jack and Jill. The review is a breathtakingly monumental takedown of Adam Sandler's film career covering everything from the non existent humor to the outright disturbing level of product placement. Mike then assesses that the film seems to have been made soley as a front for embezzlement between Sony and its associates. Jay -citing the minimum level of effort in the production- then questions whether it should even be called a film.Half in the Bag is written and produced by Red Letter Media, a production company that is most well known for the highly acclaimed and terrifyingly well informed Star Wars Prequel reviews which collectively make up one of the finest reviews ever assembled on the Internet. In Half in the Bag, Red Letter Media finds a worthy successor and provides proof that quality film criticism will survive the demise of the publishing industry, and the onslaught of studio funded reviews.

richevanslaugh this show is the most amazing thing that i have ever seen, the sarcastic humor is hilariously funny and the movie reviews are very accurate and complex and to the point. mike and jay have a lot of skills when it comes to movie making. the skits in between the movie review are amazing and i am looking forward to watching more of these episodes. the movie reviews are very in-depth and it is clear from watching many episodes of the shows that mike and jay are very skilled when it comes to the art of movie making. the sarcastic humor is so funny and and all of these shows can be watched many times again for the humor value. overall this show is amazing and i would recommend this show to anyone who likes satirical humor and movie reviews which goes in-depth into a film. i would also recommend the plinkett reviews which are made by the creators of half in the bag. these reviews are reviews of one movie that go for an hour and half. these reviews are also filled with the same satirical humor that is present in the half and the bag series.
