I'll give Open Range a shot.

I liked you figured out the percentages.

[–] chilidoggg (14439) 3 years ago

Elf is best of all those films. I watched it for the first time maybe 10 years ago (not a Will Farrell fan) and it's great.

Finding Nemo second best.

The 2000s were honestly a great time for comedies honestly, Old School, Road Trip, Wedding Crashers, etc. What happened to comedies like that nowadays, I feel like after 2016-ish or so we don't see as many good ones as we used to, or any box-office hits like that all.

[–] Redsfan001 (6187) 3 years ago

I've read that studios are increasingly looking for international revenue for their films.

Comedy's sometimes do not translate well across cultures. For instance, the Reds baseball club has it's first Japanese player. He was asked what the hardest thing is adjusting to American life, he responded "sarcasm". It is not used in Japan, and he has trouble identifying it.

[–] huwdj (4571) 3 years ago

That may be true. I, as a Brit, don't like any of those films. It's been years since I saw an American comedy film that worked for me - or maybe I'm just getting old.

reply

[–] Redsfan001 (6187) 3 years ago

Every generations humor does differ to some extent...the current PC culture has made it very difficult for the genre to come up with something new. One of my favorite comedies was the collaboration for America and British humor - A Fish Called Wanda (1988)

reply

[–] huwdj (4571) 3 years ago

Been a while since I saw it but I liked A Fish Called Wanda as well. To be fair not much British comedy works for me either and the stuff I do like seems to get cancelled very quickly.

A sequel that many people (including myself) wanted to see was Master and Commander.

Surely the studio knows this...maybe they couldn't come to terms with Crowe or just couldn't find a good script.

I would like to know the reason why one wasn't made.
