I ever bothered with this movie


Was I right in doing so?

reply

Watch it and make up your own mind! Geez! It's streaming on Starz these days (Nov. 2021)

reply

I didn't care for it the first time I watched it about 5 years ago. On the reviewing of it a few months ago it was comedy gold and I just wasn't in the mood the previous time.

reply

Drew Barrymore was in it

reply

She isn't exactly one of the best things about it.

reply

It's not gay porn.

It's actually kinda funny.

reply

You didn't bother with proofreading either.

reply

No need for homophobia.

reply

Huh?

reply

Was a joke about the word "proofreading".

reply

This movie is frickin hilarious!

reply

It's just a product of its time. First time I watched it I loathed it. Second time, I chuckled.

reply

Kinda like Wesley Crusher?

reply

It is unfunny, annoying trash. Not worth watching.

We have very different tastes, especially since your top 25 is missing anything by Mel Brooks or Monthy Python. Not a huge fan of 90's comedies like Baseketball and Happy Gilmore either, I take it?

I've been meaning to watch Birdman for some time. Thanks for reminding me of that.

reply

Yikes, with a top 25 of comedies like that you knew damn well you wouldn't like Freddy got Fingered. Why would you even waste your time?

reply

Good god man! What a mundane sense of humor. And no, the humor in those movies isn't beyond me, it just bores the shit out of me. What, no O Brother, Where Art Thou? That's probably comedy gold to you.

Now these are actually funny comedies:

Freddy Got Fingered
Team America
Billy Madison
Happy Gilmore
The Waterboy
Tommy Boy
Beverly Hills Ninja
Black Sheep
Trading Places
MacGruber
Both Ace Ventura movies
Dumb and Dumber
The Mask
Borat & Borat 2 (some stupid parts, but the funny parts make up for it)
Liar Liar
The Wedding Singer
Army of Darkness
