Guy Pearce is a great actor. But he doesn't provide much in this film. By contrast, Kevin Corrigan (Danny) steals the show. If not for him, this flick would have completely tanked. Danny inherits a truckload of dough from a relative in Texas. After his NY wife sends Danny packing, he heads to Austin. It's there we find our rich-passive-overweight-lovable drunk who is bored and decides he wants to lose weight by getting in good shape. Sound familiar? No pain...no gain. There are only 3 minor problems for Danny. Beer, pizza and marijuana. A 4th emerges when Cobie Smulders (Kat) shows up to provide personal training for Danny. Kat is your classic female gym rat. Overpaid for her services, Kat starts falling for Danny's lovable-pot smoking character. I failed to mention that Mr. Money (Danny) was also renting an enormous home (w/no furniture) in Austin, TX. on a golf course. Chicks dig the long ball. Danny is quite the modern athlete. He dons black dress socks his w/gym shoes to workout in. Great ending.

Sweet, intelligent, off-beat romantic comedy not given the attention it deserved. Even though this movie ended up on quite a few "best" lists for 2015, it generated no discussion. What a shame for people who like to be entertained, surprised and diverted, rather than bludgeoned, in their movie experiences. Set in Texas without indulging Texas stereotypes, the story is about two athletic trainers and their fallibilities. Just as there are no Texas cliches, there are none about the trainers, either. Their world is real and specific, and the lead actors, Guy Pearce and Colbie Smulders, have the kind of symbiosis seen in the great screwball comedies. Subtle humor, charming and uplifting without making you feel like an idiot.

By Melissa Antoinette GarzaI only recently heard of this film, but the reviews have been extremely positive. Though still in cinemas, it is currently available for rent off Amazon streaming.Results follows gym owner Trevor (Guy Pearce) and the complicated relationship he has with employee Kat (Cobie Smulders).When Danny (Kevin Corrigan) recently acquires a hefty inheritance from his estranged mother shortly after a divorce, he decides to use a portion of it to get personal lessons from Trevor’s gym with the hopes of successfully being able to withstand a punch.Despite Trevor being wary, Kat insists she takes the job as she wants more clients. Danny has an instant attraction to her and she’s not completely uncharmed by him. After stopping by his house to get high, they have a romantic encounter which most certainly means more to Danny than to Kat. When she comes over for her next session, Danny has a jazz band and a romantic dinner waiting. She becomes furious and storms out.She runs to Trevor who is jealous as he and Kat were former lovers. Though it’s obvious Kat wanted more, Trevor whose philosophy is based on visualizing goals and attaining them, didn’t see her as a long-term part of his life. Despite his own feelings and affection for her, he insists on keeping their relationship professional.Trevor calls Danny to threaten him, and when Danny is unimpressed with the tactic, Trevor shows up at his house. The two end up getting along and Trevor even starts training Danny to become stronger.They become such good friends that Danny purchases 50% of the business to help Trevor’s goal of expanding become a reality. A falling out of sorts occurs when Danny discovers Trevor’s feelings for Kat. This is done extremely well as it’s not for the usual rivalry reasons seen within most films depicting two people who share an affection for the same person.The focus isn’t on a love triangle, but instead the existence of three decent yet flawed individuals and the way in which each person impacts the other. The strengths and weaknesses of the trio compliment one another and help each find success in all avenues of their lives.From start to finish I enjoyed this movie immensely. It will certainly be one I purchase once available. The characters are believable in The acting both from the main players and the supporting cast is fantastic.Giovanni Ribisi portrays a corporate lawyer Danny befriends in a bar trying to score weed. I’ve always loved Ribisi’s work and have followed his career for years. Whereas friends of the main characters can sometimes be easily forgotten, Ribisi really brings out the eccentricity in his portrayal to ensure, it won’t be soon forgotten.Another side character who brought so much to the table was Danny’s ex-wife Christine (Elizabeth Berridge). At one point Danny thinks about going back to his ex, despite objections from Trevor. Rather than making Christine a caricature of the evil ex, Berridge portrayed her as a genuine and sympathetic woman who cares enough to be there for Danny when he’s trying to reassess his life.Berridge is Kevin Corrigan’s real-life wife. She also played beside him on Grounded for Life as his girlfriend Amy which of all Eddie’s girlfriends was my favorite and the one who stands out the most. Amy was a hilariously demented character, and Berridge flawlessly walked the line keeping her sympathetic and crazy without making her a villain. I really hope to see Berridge in some new projects soon as she always adds so much to any production.Both Guy Pearce and Cobie Smulders were fantastic in their roles. They shared great chemistry and portrayed each character with a level of realism and intelligence.Smulders was tough as nails as Kat without going overboard into Tomb Raider style badass-ery. She calls out a woman for not paying her bill on time and eating a cupcake with such a nonchalant aura of confidence that was both hilarious and cutthroat.Last but never least, Kevin Corrigan stole every scene he was in. Danny could have been easily portrayed as a joyless person. He’s a little insecure, depressed, bored, lost contact with his mother for years before her death, tries too hard and fails with women – the list goes on and on. Corrigan breathes life into Danny with his expressions, mannerisms, and humor which makes for some of the funniest scenes in recent cinematic history. Corrigan is one of those few actors who when walking in a room immediately takes over the scene. In everything he’s in, opposite anyone, he just has that capability. The attention is drawn to him like eyes to Fireworks on the 4th of July. It’s like Henry Fonda in 12 Angry Men (1957) or Sidney Poitier in A Raisin in the Sun (1961). Even when on screen with the best in the business, everyone is watching them because they have a level of talent which is unsurpassed.I really can’t recommend Results enough. It was unique, hilarious and surprisingly very original in the portrayal of each character.

I really liked parts of this. I liked the actors and the story but something just didn't work - cannot put my finger on it. I think maybe the story was a little too unbelievable. I like random stories and especially the way life can seem so mundane yet be very complicated and difficult and even wonderful. However, something just didn't add up. I enjoyed watching it but was left feeling cheated by the ending.

GREAT

This movie is so much fun! Guy Pearce, and especially Cobie Smulders, are perfect in their roles! Highly recommend.

I cant' believe that I clicked the 2 star button on his movie. Guy Pierce and Cobie Smulders should have been enough to push this dull story over the top to at least 3 stars but such was not the case. It is billed as a comedy....I'm pretty sure that I never even smiled, I did belch once though. Guy is the owner of a fitness club and he wants to expand, Cobie is one of his trainers and the awful and tiresome Kevin Corrigan is the newly rich client that wants to get in shape and he becomes smitten with Cobie who once had a relationship with Guy and now will try to partner with kevin to open a bigger fitness club. Get it? I was bored, to a stunning degree so what kept me watching, to be honest...Guy Pierce. I do love this guy. But no one or nothing short of turning off the volume and darkening the screen would have helped.

some good scenes, very quirky ,a new slant on the man and younger woman fall in love despite the large age difference and typical pratfalls.

I watched the trailer to this film unfortunately they put all the good bits in the trailer and when I got to watch the film it was utter rubbish what a waste of money don't even waste your time to even watch this film.

My kind of humour.A keeper for my DVD collection.

perfect - totally pleased thank you

an endless chain of trivial everyday life situations. Not worth the money.
