I love stupid movies like this and I thought Dr. Dante was hilarious. "9 out of 10 fake doctors agree!" Hahaha...I showed the TV spots to the guys at work and we all cracked up. Personally I think all of the hate messages and complaints on here are from the repressed geeks who still haven't got over being stuffed in a locker in high school. I hope this movie upsets even more people and gets even more attention. Just because you don't get it doesn't mean it's not funny. Oh, and sperm falling on an old lady is funny anti-american dude...everywhere on Earth. Out

I loved Grandma's Boy so I went to watch this. I thought it was hilarious just like Grandma's Boy. I don't get all the hate for this movie. It's a Happy Madison movie, what did you expect to see in this movie?

Some people take comedies too seriously and the bigger problem is that people think there is only one type of comedy. Learn what type you like and then watch a movie with that type of comedy.

Exactly!

Not as good as Grandma's Boy (that movie is still King!)

But Bucky Larson is a funny movie.... just chill out and enjoy it...

Stop thinking so much.

This movie is not funny. If you think it is funny, then there is something gravely wrong with your sense of humor, your intelligence and your capacity for logical thinking. I feel very bad for you, and I STRONGLY caution you against reproducing.

Some of my favorite films are from Stanley Kubrick, Eric Rohmer, Ingmar Bergman, Michelangelo Antonioni, Roman Polanski, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Alfred Hitchcock, Andrei Tarkovsky, etc., but I loved Grandma's Boy and think that Bucky Larson could be funny. Say what you will, but some people have mixed tastes. A little stupid humor never hurt anybody.

*beep* you! Humor is SUBJECTIVE, what one person finds funny another person may find exruciating. Most people LOVE I Heart Huckabees, but I HATED every minute of that worthless piece of *beep* film, there was not one likeable character in that film and I didn't laugh even once, but I thought Pauly Shore's films were guninely funny. I won't be rushing out to see this film in theaters since i've already got plans to see 4 other fims this month, but i'll catch this on DVD(which shoudn't be long, it'll probably come out as early as December) At the very least, it can't be any worse then Your Highness.

[–] brushfyr 13 years ago

Most people :OVE I Heart Huckabees? Really? Huh, it has a 6.7 rating here on IMDB, is it not 10 because of 'haters'?

I mean, I didn't see it, it looked like someone thought they were Wes Anderson. But I've never heard people LOVE that movie. What are you basing that on? Noone I know has ever mentioned seeing that movie, I know it's old but if it's such a beloved movie I think it would get brough up when people bitch or praise certain movies. Do you live in a town called Huckabee? Maybe all the locals are crazy and were excited to see their city's name in a movie title, otherwise i have no idea how you're meeting all these I Heart Huckabees fanatics

[–] scorpion-52 13 years ago

Well most critics really liked Huckabees(for reasons i'll never understand) and several people on the movie forum I frequent(Reelviews.com if anyone cares) praise that film. Huckabees is my single most hated film of all time, no other film, not even those Seltzer-Freidberg films or anything by Uwe Boll, has ever pissed me off as much as that film did. It is like a Wes Anderson film, only without any remotely likeable characters and the worst attempts at humor i've ever seen, and the film also to cram down a stupid "existensialistic" message down your throat, say what you will about films like Bucky Larson, but at least they don't have delusions of being anything other then low-brow comedies or try to cram a *beep* message down your throat.

[–] Morrisseyfan89 13 years ago

Dear Scorpion its existential not "existentialistic" but regardless even if you think it failed I think it should be considered to be better to fail with some sense of ambition versus a completely disaster that aspired to be low-brow in the case of Bucky Larson.

[–] brushfyr 13 years ago

I guess it depends on how badly it failed. Yes Bucky Laron aspires to be nothing more then crap, but if someone tries to film The Godfather and got Gigli is it any better? Sometimes screenwriters, directors, producers and actors all get together and without meaning to create a cinematic abortion.

As far as I Heart Huckabees, still don't plan on seeing it unless it pops up cable. A little curious now but not going to pay for something that I think looks kind of meh

[–] Morrisseyfan89 13 years ago

Well I wouldn't say thats much better because its still the process of trying to create a genre film. What I was trying to say though failure in exploring something complex is still more passable than failure in just trying to make low-brow entertainment.

[–] MrLabcat 13 years ago

Anyone who finds this funny needs to be hit in the face with a baseball bat.

[–] scorpion-52 13 years ago

I could make the same statement about Your Highness, but comedy is highly subjective, and what ne person finds painful, another will find funny.

[–] Crazy_Gibberish 13 years ago

Just because people find something like farting or splattering semen reflexively funny doesn't mean that those baser instincts should be catered to. It breeds anti-intellectualism by validating the tastes of those too slow to appreciate anything more complex than "man has tiny penis, big teeth, F-word, funny". Just because this film and those of its ilk exist, morons bellow "comedy is subjective! It must be, because so many movies made by and for dumbasses come out every weekend! That makes us right!" The correlation only proves Hollywood has developed an effective strategy of separating stupid people from their money by pandering to their most base, juvenile, easily accessed tastes. And because most people are too lazy and defensive to ever become cultured or appreciate a laugh well-earned, Hollywood has to keep lowering its standards ever further. It's gotten to the point where there's no options for the rest of us that still enjoy something with even an iota of wit or substance.

I'm not saying every comedy has to be Felini or late 70's Woody Allen, but something simultaneously solid and crowd pleasing like "Bridesmaids" only comes around once a year or less thanks to all this "comedy is subjective, you snobs just don't get Grandma's Boy" BS. Thanks for that. You anti-intellectual frat guys are "winning" I guess, in the same way Charlie Sheen was "winning".

[–] scorpion-52 13 years ago

Well you can't really blame Hollywood fo making more films like this when stupid films like The Hangover(which is pretty damn overrated BTW) make hundreds of millions of dollars, so it's inevitable for studio execs to greenlight films like Bucky Larson in hopes that they'll be a hit, or at the very least be able to make back they're budget. BTw, i'll have you know I enjoyed both Bridesmaids and Grnadmas's Boy, but i'm not a Woody Allen fan at all, as he just irritates the hell out of me for some reason and I don't find him the least bit funny(and that has nothing to do with him marrying his adopted daughter, I couldn't care less about that) Just because a person likes Bucky Larson does NOT , I repeat, does NOT make that person "anti-intellectual" that's a load of BS, I just thought it was a decent but very forgettable film, and there's plenty of so-called "smart" films that are every bit as stupid, if not moreso then this film, i'll take a stupid comedy over a sickeningly saccharine Oscar-bait film like The Blind Side or The English Patient ANY day.

[–] brushfyr 13 years ago

Scorpion, I agree about the Hangover, felt embarassed because a bunch of guys at work liked it. It had some ok moments, but ard to believe he's on the roof and he can't shout down or anything, throw pocket change down or something.

As far as blaming Hollywood, they will make all kinds of movies for all kinds of people. I don't care about romantic movies but there is an audience for that. I would still think they would try hard to at least make it look funny. As I've said before in this forum maybe at some point I'll see this and laugh my ass off, but I really doubt it. It looks like garbage to me. And I would think someone who enjoys this could possible enjoy anything, so why aim so low?

Most comedies have stupid premises, I loved the Naked Gun movies, and alot of the Farrely Brothers movies. But all to me were funny. Nothing looked good in Bucky Larson, and I'm not saying porn as comedy can't be done. I'd assume Orgasmo would be funny because it's the guys from South Park. It's just to me it looked like everything that made kids laugh in grade school, nothing looked funny at all, ever the commercials before Dr Dante looked horrible.

You liked it, awesome, maybe you're not a total fool. But I can't help thinking that's the market for this movie. WHy else have those Dr Dante commericals? Who else were they trying to reach with those idiotic commericals

[–] scorpion-52 13 years ago

Actually according to Swardson, the reason those Dante ads were put out was because it was pretty much impossible to show any scenes from the actual film in commercials since it was very close to getting an NC-17 rating, it had nothing to do with trying to reach out to the film's target audience. That was just poor judgement on the studio execs behalf, Swardson himself basically admitted that the commercials were terrible and that he had nothing to do with them, though the ads COULD have worked if Swardson was doing them instead of Dante. Just goes to show you that a terrible ad campaign can single-handedly cripple a film at the box-office.

The complaints are from people that don't like sh--ty movies. You seriously laughed, even once? This movie sucked, and the reviews and numbers don't lie.
