could of been a masterpeice but


it faild ill start by saying this film had some geuin touching momets but it was ruind by stuped scens like the swiming pool scen among other that seamd like thay were only shot to be used in the trailer if this film had aa more dry sense of humer that wasnt grosout or wacky i think it would of been a verry good film ,i felt thses scens draged the film down to much if only it was more kingpin and less dumb and dumber

also it seams to set up supplots that never go anywere like the handycap guy dating the nurse thay introduce this plot line but it goes noware what so ever

i dont normaly like the idea of re makeing movies but if thay re did this one without the silly scens and the under develept plot lines i really beleave it could of won an oscer

but as it stands its an ok but verry uneven film with a good performance from jack black but it could of been so much more

I agree.
It had a great premise but couldn't decide if it wanted to be a slapstick comedy or a heartwarming romantic comedy

What did you go out with me for? Just to dump chocolate on my shirt and then dump me altogether.

Why can't a movie be a heartwarming slapstick romantic comedy?

reply

it can and has worked in the past but this movie didn't pull it off it should of been more king pin and less dumbe and dumber

Is it dyslexia that makes you repeatedly write 'could of' rather than 'could have'?

Pro-tip: right click on all those words underlined in red.

The handicap guy dating the nurse setup a very key scene where you find out he also sees inner ugliness.
