This could be hazardous to your health; doesn’t matter if you’re a movie critic or a movie buff, so go in prepared.

Akshay Kumar’s ‘Entertainment’ misses the point entirely : it is dull and loud, with a brow so lowered that it reaches the floor.

Even if a film is not a great piece of art, it should be entertaining. This one fails in both aspects.

There’s no story, no script and the worst CG ever, but there may be a chuckle or two. Perhaps that’s you laughing at yourself for having to lead such a dog’s life for 140 minutes to be precise.

Sajid-Farhad’s first film is mostly a garrulous, occasionally comical farce that intermittently serves as reminder that in the search of “entertainment, entertainment, entertainment” one can always rely on the delightfully loony Johnny Lever. Entertainment is best when it isn’t trying to force laughs out of us with its desperate attempts at wit…

If this is entertainment, what, pray, is torture? Run for cover.

The dog scores over the rest of the cast because the animal does not have any dialogue to deliver nor any song to swing to.

Akshay Kumar is in top form. Having done a multitude of masala movies, he’s become a khiladi. His bonding with the dog (especially in comic scenes) has those ‘oh-so-cute’ moments. The golden retriever is not a wonderful actor; but his eyes can melt your heart.

There are some people who are not ‘God-gifted’ but ‘Dog-gifted’. This film is definitely for such people! If you are a dog lover, you must watch it for our little star, Junior. Else, you can just let it pass.

Don’t go by the title, it’s sure called Entertainment but only if that was enough!

Entertainment is a painful exercise to sit through and when a cute retriever with all the fuzziness cannot retrieve you from boredom, blame it on the film. Akshay Kumar was almost as bad as his Once Upon Aye Time In Mumbaai Dobaara performance, and that says it all I am sure. I am going with a very kind 1/5 for the film and it’s a gift from a dog lover to all the dogs who appeared in the film.

As for the rest of the Entertainment team, filmmaking isn’t as trivial as they think it is. Slog for it in their next film and probably then there will be some stars for them. As an afterthought, my fraternity will agree, we live a dog’s life tormented by films like this.

Entertainment is a bagful of boring tricks…The world as they say has really gone to the dogs.

ENTERTAINMENT is a joy ride that lives up to its title. Go, laugh out loud and get entertained!

If you can get entertained by anything that comes your way, then you are likely to get entertained by Entertainment.

Good parodies are the ones that make most of their tongue-in-cheek flavour. Add too much slapstick and it only gets more annoying. That’s entertainment. It treads a thin line. And in our industry it’s a habit to fall off the line, too often, too easy.

Entertainment, Entertainment, Entertainment may have worked for Vidya Balan in THE DIRTY PICTURE. But it’s not necessary that just the word is enough to entertain.

All in all, a fun experience. So don’t paw-nder for too long, just watch this one.

Entertainment takes on the tripe that our cinema enjoys dishing out and turns it into some kind of a queasy crap-convention that knows it is making little sense most of the time and is not apologetic about its lowbrow aspirations.

Akshay’s comic timing stands out. Tamannaah has improved a little in acting skills. Krushna’s dialogues won our hearts. Mithun just played his part as a greedy father. Entertainment (dog) gathered all the attention. Prakash Raj and Sonu Sood added more entertainment in the movie. All in all, the movie is entertaining and a one time watch comedy.

Look anywhere but this Akshay Kumar-starrer for ‘Entertainment’…The Bollywood audience may still want their song and dance routines around trees in the exotic countryside, but what they also demand today with a growing level of maturity is the need of a decent script.

It’s sheer genius and Akshay’s funniest film since Hera Pheri…
All of this hard work in writing would have been futile had the film been tackily shot, just like the films it parodies. Surprisingly, Entertainment is technically great, even the scene transitions are well done.

Akshay’s film is mind-numbingly stupid, full of cliches…It says a lot about how starved for real entertainment this country is when Entertainment, with its stale jokes and stupidity, gets a laugh.

On the whole, Entertainment is an entertaining fare but with sectional appeal only. Its ridiculous story-line is a major drawback and will make its appeal restricted. It will be enjoyed by the masses, families and kids. Although it will keep the target audience in splits, its business will be less than its merits because it has just a week-long window, what with eagerly awaited Singham Returns scheduled for release next week. The producers may have made their profit but some of the distributors, particularly those who have paid heavy prices, will not be as lucky.

If you are not looking for much of intelligence, this is one film that should tickle your funny bone enough. A family watch.

If you are one amongst those who made Humshakals, Heropanti and R..Rajkumar a blockbuster then you might also like Entertainment. Also, pet lovers might like the film in parts.

As filmmakers, they’ve managed to achieve the near impossible— managed to make Sajid Khan’s slapstick Humshakals look great in comparison. As if unsure of their movie’s intent, they’ve even titled it Entertainment. I’m sorry, but if this is entertainment, then I want to know what’s the word for a person banging his head against the wall for over two hours, having shelled out money to do that as well? No, don’t answer that.

They do succeed in sending out a message strong and loud enough- to treat animals with respect and love. If you like watching clean films and wish to take your family along for a movie, then ‘Entertainment’ best suits your requirement.

This movie doesn’t require a lot of thought process. You can leave your brain at home and enjoy a mindless comedy with the standard lines. If you are fond of canines, then watch the dog try to do his thing. On the whole, a family entertainer with terrible music. A decent attempt but it fails to make the grade. Watch the movie with your little ones (the human kind, don’t know if they allow dogs in the theatre).

Entertainment has enough jokes and one liners to keep you entertained. Watch it for Akshay, but also for the real star, his four legged companion who will steal your heart with his cuteness!

There is endless punning, a play on the names of actors (example: “I Rajini-can’t believe it”) and iconic Hindi movies, SMS forward-worthy jokes and the idea that a dog can get the better of humans. Junior’s bored expression and lack of affection towards the two-legged creatures on the set is glaringly evident, but the rest of the cast has far more energy, sportingly submitting themselves to the pratfalls aimed at knee-high viewers and going along with the occasionally madcap plot twists.

Disappointingly regressive and only sparsely funny, the only entertainment comes from the portions involving the dog. One wishes the film lived up to its name!

I tried to draw various metaphors for the way in which the word Entertainment was used. Unfortunately, the only one that made sense was the one which involved the murder of entertainment.

I recommend this for viewers who genuinely believe in leave-your-brains-at-home fare. But it turns out that I’m born with a brain, and what it does during a movie is beyond my control, unless I physically remove it. This can only happen if I’m a cartoon character, or part of the absurd world of Entertainment (the business).

After showing traces of wicked humour, it is reduced to nothing more than a rich source of PJs.

It is full of humour and a fun oriented film. The movie can be a refreshing change for the audience. Krushna Abhishek, who is performing as a friend of Akshay, has done justice to his part. His dialogues are super hilarious and funny.
