The Go-Getters had been on my radar for a little while. The poster stood out from the rest and the premise was interesting: A deadbeat drunk, Owen and a junkie hooker, Lacie join forces to take on the city, each other, and their own personal shortcomings while trying to scam $98 for bus tickets out of town. I like both our main characters, and I'll say they both have good chemistry. I'll also say that the way they play off each other comedically is very good, I had a lot of chuckles and some laughs. Not that I want to insult the movie, but this movie plays best when you're having a really 'meh' day; not a sh$t day, but a really 'meh' sort of day, it'll actually make your day. Has a lot of 'gross' but darkly humorous moments that'll catch you off guard. The more serious moments also work themselves into the storyline very well, especially with Owen's brother Kevin. I wish this movie had been a little big longer, at least to have more comedic moments between Owen and Lacie, they really do have a lot of good chemistry.
I'm looking forward to director Jeremy LaLonde's next movie, and I'm giving The Go-Getters a 6 out of 10

Not perfect, but doesn't need to be
Go watch it.
A tale of learning that sometimes you think it's better running away from your problems than dealing with them. Entertaining take on it.
Much much better than expected!
I don't usually write reviews - this is my first one on IMDB.
Usually with smaller productions like this you have a ton of fake reviews and usually they're pretty dismal.
But I'm in Scotland, UK - and have just watched this movie.
And I have to give credit to the cast and crew! It's brilliant!!
Much better than expected. I've given it 9/10 and that's VERY high for me.
Mainly because of how hard they tried, the humour, the cast, and all done on a budget. But looked professional enough to be a mainstream movie.
It was very engrossing and addictive. I really could connect with the characters.
So do yourself a favour - and watch it!
It may not be to everyone's taste - but my GF & I thought it was a lot of fun and we're in our 40's!
