How can this movie be rated 6.8?


This is one of the all time best comedies in history. This movie practically makes me cry every time I watch it knowing we have no more like this coming from one of the funniest guys who ever lived.

8 minimum.

Anyone see the irony in calling someone an abusive piece of $h!t?

You are absolutely right in questioning its rating. Below a 7 is inexcusable. This is a text book perfect comedy.

It has hilarious unique moments. Comedic dialogue, as well as a slew of physical comedy. It has heart, a great story, great pacing, and a fun soundtrack.

I consider this to be in the running of top 5 comedies of all time in fact. Up there with Spinal Tap, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Wayne's World, etc.

Such a great comedy. It has a 9 in my book.

You have NO taste! The best thing Chris Farley did for mankind, was to DIE!!!

"You can't HANDLE the truth!" Jack Nicholson, "A Few Good Men."

OK, I wasn't going to jump in, but you are now getting into personal territory with me. I'm not a huge fan of Tommy Boy, but I met Chris Farley once and worked for his best friend and have to say he was one of the nicest people I ever met. You may not like his work, but to wish someone dead you know nothing about is going too far.

reply

Okay, you come across as a decent person. Certainly NOT the type that frequents boards like this. I apologize for my callous remark. I DID go too far. David Spade, though? NO WAY that guy can BE a nice guy. He's probably JUST LIKE the guy he played on "Just Shoot Me."

This movie makes me cry too. But for a whole different reason.

Those of you hating on one of the best comedies of all time should list your favorite comedies.

Or are you just trolls?

reply

Look no further then The Big Lebowski for the greatest comedy of all time.
