Mr Joe B Carvalho Movie Review

Ratings:1.5/5 Review By: Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama

On the whole, MR JOE B. CARVALHO has few moments that stay with you, but a weak second half plays the spoilsport.MR JOE B. CARVALHO attempts to spoof just about everything available on platter, but the sad part is that the screenplay is not as creative as its title. The film depends largely on the [super] comic timing of Arshad Warsi and Jaaved Jaaferi, while a few one-liners and sequences are genuinely funny as well, but these are mere exceptions.

Ideally, this detective comic-thriller that spoofs mainstream Hindi cinema in a small degree attempts to be somewhat like Hollywood's Naked Gun series. And it should have made for a goofy film. But after a promising start, Joe B... fails It's a pity that the writer and director didn't pay more attention. Had the film been as honourable as their intentions seemed (of making a clean comedy that is neither slapstick nor adult), this genre may have actually got a fillip.

The pun on Joe B Carvalho's name is a long-running 'joke' — one of the many instruments of torment that the film employs. Joe B Carvalho is that annoying friend who won't stop forcing those unbearable PJs on you as you try to laugh politely while one eye seeks an emergency exit. At the end of the film, you slip off your seat, onto your knees and beg Mr Joe B Carvalho — please ab maar daalo.

Mr Joe B Carvalho, directed by first-timer Samir Tewari, is a comedy of terrors in which anything goes. It is utterly unfunny and riddled with mindless gags that drag beyond acceptable limits. But the Mr Joe B Carvalho screenplay is such a pathetic mess that there is little that he can do to prevent the film from sinking into a morass of its own making. Be warned. Jo bhi karlo but stay well clear of Mr Joe B Carvalho if you value your money – and sanity. This film deserves only half a star for that is all that it offers – Arshad Warsi at half tilt.

A comedy film comprises a funny script and good dialogues. 'Mr Joe B Carvalho' sadly lacks both. Resultantly, the two hours spent watching the movie turn out to be pure torture. Watch this movie only if for you anything passes in the name of 'comedy'. The film deserves the one star it got for the bravery the makers of this film showed while making it.

If at all the movie is tolerable, even though it gets boring in the second half, it is thanks to Arshad Warsi's comic timing. Just as we have 'keep your brains behind' action/thriller flicks with super stars, this one too falls in that category, but with a difference. At least, you don't leave the theatre fuming!

Funny much? Sadly, not at all. Actually I'm not sure of anything post watching `Mr Joe B. Carvalho' other than wonder just how I sat through all of it. Mr Warsi, `hum se yeh kyon karvaya'?

The screenplay suffers lack of imagination. The sub plots, situations and dialogues leave very little scope for any originality. Almost everything you watch in the film has been attempted elsewhere. With very little entertainment offered at the price of its ticket, Mr Joe B Carvalho is a feeble attempt that fails to provide any comic relief.

2014 couldn’t have seen a worse beginning than Samir Tewari’s disastrous comedy film. It is irritatingly silly and in my dictionary ‘foolish’ is not funny. There is a callous dearth of intelligence in the film and it definitely qualifies as a must never watch venture.
