Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

kariann-marti Although there's a romantic aspect, and although there are some laughs, this is really a drama. This poor schmuck is taken advantage of as he gets 15 minutes of fame he never asked for. He doesn't have much to begin with, and now he's lost even that. It's pretty depressing, to be honest! But it's a good story.

boltdavid67 I watched this as a result of liking the book 'Eddie Krumble Is The Clapper'. Dito Montiel, the author of the book, wrote and directed the movie. The central idea of the story is a good one. Eddie (Ed Helms) is happy enough with his job as a 'clapper' in audiences for infomercials and is slowly starting a relationship with gas-station worker Judy (Amanda Seyfried) until a late-night talk show notices him in several infomercials and he goes viral, which costs him his job and his relationship. Helms does an excellent job as a man who finds the peaceful, anonymous life he had shattered, without understanding what's happening to him or why. Helms plays Eddie in a way that you can't help but feel sorry for him.Maybe there's a message in there about laughing at total strangers on the internet. Those who are exploiting Eddie for entertainment, and those doing the laughing are the ones who are in the wrong here. I think a lot of the negative reviews are because people expected that with this cast, it would be a comedy. It's not. But I found it to be an entertaining and somewhat sweet film and I think well worth 90 minutes of anyone's time.

taylorama_lol I had high hopes for The Clapper-the premise seemed great and I love Amanda Seyfried and Ed Helms. But half an hour in, I ended up fast forwarding to the end of the film. Helms and Seyfried do a great job and their love story was sweet, but the rest of the film didn't really know what it wanted to be. The cast does a great job, but they can't save this sinking ship.This movie is apparently based on a book, but I'm not interested in reading it after seeing the film.

ivantheeditor Who wrote this?? This was so forced and fake that it was painful to watch. I was only able to last for 30 mins and had to turn it off. It's slow, it's boring, and it tries too hard but still fails miserably. The story is completely pointless and goes no where. The acting is ok but it's the writing that just makes this painful to watch. The dialog is so.... whatever. These people need to learn about timing!!
