Risky Business

Video Clip

Tom Cruise in a role that I am not really used to seeing him in.  I thought that this movie was very enjoyable and fits perfectly in the eighties.  Only this movie is more about being cool and less of a comedy than most of those eighties party movies.  This movie was sort of a mix between Ferris Buellers Day Off and Too Young to Drive.  This movie is about how sometimes you just have to let loose and sometimes things will work out for the better.

Super Troopers

I thought this movie was funny.  I think that some cops may find it offensive but all in all especially to the rest of us who have had trouble with cops we find this funny.  I think that this movie doesn't really ever make you fall out of your chair bu you giggle about the entire time.  I like how the movie actually had a real life point mixed in with the nonsense.  Sort of a dull sort of comedy with nothing drastic or two out of place.  Very comparable to Caddyshack.

A Very Brady Sequel

I enjoyed this movie much more than I thought that I would.  I think that it is good to make fun of the Brady Bunch series instead of imitating it.  They moved the Bradys into the nineties and the best part of the whole thing is that the Bradys have no idea that they are being ridiculed by the people around them.  I also enjoyed the idea of Greg and Marsha getting together because that is something that you would have always thought would be something you thought should happen.

My Blue Heaven

I thought that this movie was a good role for Steve Martin.  He continues his sort of scheming character that he has played in movies before.  I thought that it could have been a little bit funnier but that is just the kind of movie that it is, light comedy.  My Blue Heaven is about a man who has been a burden to a community while in witness protection and then goes on to be the man of the year in the community when he turns over a new side.  An ex-villain turned good story.

Cadillac Man

This is sort of a different idea for a comedy movie.  I like Tim Robbins in this movie.  I thought that he played the perfect character and Robin Williams is very good also, even though I cant imagine him as a womanizer.  I mean can you really imagine Robin Williams as a womanizer.  This movie isnt slap your knee funny but is sort of just a unique kind of comedy because of its plot about a comical hostage situation.  A movie about a guy who has a really bad day

Multiplicity

I really liked this movie.  I thought that it was a very unique idea using the new technology and issues of the time.  They turn it into a comedy movie that stays within itself very well.  It does not go overboard with the comedy.  The different clones trying to work together, and the fact that they dont have the normal plot where the wife finds out what the guy did and gets mad.  This movie has the guy find a way to control the clones slightly and make his life better by the end.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

I thought that this movie was very funny. I thought that they did a very good job with combining all of the movies in which Jay and Silent Bob have been in and put little parts of them in this movie. This movie focuses on Jay and Silent Bob and even though the plot is extremely weak these two characters attitudes and adventures bring it to life. Silent Bob is not a huge important character but without him Jay would be just an annoying loser who hangs out with himself all the time. Overall Rating: 7.8

Zoolander

I thought that this movie was pretty funny for the first half hour but then it sort of went downhill.  It is the same sort of comedy as the Austin Powers movies except I didn't really like Ben Stiller's performance.  I thought that Owen Wilson was funny and his kind of human is growing on me very fast.  I started to get a little tired of Stiller's accent about a third of the way through the movie.  I just think that they could have made the comedy last a little longer or have a little more developed character.  I also thought that Stiller was a little too dumb at times.

Police Academy 4

I thought this movie was much less funny than the previous Police Academy movies. I think that the characters that join the police force as volunteers are not nearly as funny as when the other characters are going through the academy. Of course the jokes pulled on Captain Harris are still funny and Commisioner Lassard is still funny but the original academy members are a little more grown up and mature in this movie. They are getting too much like regular cops. Overall Rating: 4.6

All I Wanna Do

I thought that this movie was very stupid. The language was for a thirteen year old but the movie was for a 23 year old. It seemed like all this movie talked about was sex but yet all the girls were so immature. It turns out that the movie is about girls being strong in a world full of men. This is just the kind of movie that Kirsten Dunst would be in and I hope that she doesn't act in real life the way that she acts in all of the movies that she is in. Because her personality in these movies are horrible. Overall Rating: 4.1

Porky's

This is a very funny movie.  This movie invented a lot of comical ideas that are still used in movies in 2002.  For instance, the initial scene where the boy is lying in bed in the morning with a bulge in his pants.  That is an idea that you see reoccur constantly.  This movie like many movies of its kind during the time period are hard to differentiate between characters.  The director is trying so hard to make the movie fit into the time period that everyone is wearing the same clothes.  This is one of those comedy movies that will stand through time.  It has already lasted over 20 years.

The Cable Guy

I hope that Jim Carrey doesnt continue to make movies like this or his career is over.  This movie they tried to make a suspense thriller into a comedy.  I just think that this movie could have been a little bit better but the comedy is just a little lame.  The Cable Guy is just weird when he could have been a lot more funny.  He could have been a psycho humorous guy instead of a psycho humor guy.  This is probably the lowpoint of Carreys career.

Feds

This movie has Rebecca Demornay playing a girl who wants to join the FBI.  This movie is nothing more that a couple of women who are defying the gender barrier to become agents.  It is your classic boy versus girl movie over who can be smarter and of course they can not have the guys win or that would just be wrong.  Every protester in the country would be throwing a fit if the movie happened that way. 

Out to Sea

This movie continues the surge off Jack Lemon and Walter Mathau in the last movie that they did together.  This movie isnt along the lines of Grumpy Old Men but is the same sort of light comedy about two womanizing old men.  The only difference is a change of setting and the fact that they are not really warring against each other.  If you liked Grumpy Old Men you will probably still enjoy this movie.  And there is still no way that these two old guys could hitch themselves with such beautiful older women.   

The Big Lebowski

I really enjoyed this movie.  I thought that John Goodman may have put in his best performance to steal the spotlight in this movie.  This movie would really only be funny to an older audience and probably a pretty select audience.  I would say that women probably would not like it very much and seniors would not find this movie very entertaining but anyone between 16 and 55 would probably think that it was a comical movie about a kidnapping.

Police Academy 2

I thought that this movie was sort of funny but I liked the later police academy movies better.  The movie still has some decent pranks of the chief but this movie is more of the cops being somewhat bad trainees instead of a total waste to the police department.  I would much rather watch the later movies because of the chief and the commissioner because they have different and funnier roles.

Not Another Teen Movie

I thought this movie was pretty funny.  Some of the parts were a little extreme but for the most part it was funny.  I showed a lot of different movies but did not make fun of the movies as much as it imitated them.  I thought that it was better then Scary Movie and its sequel.  The movie is basically the plot of Shes All That but intertwines characters and scenes from many other teen movies dating back to the eighties.

Rat Race

I thought this movie was just above terrible. There was only about one or tow funny concepts about this movie and the rest was just ridiculous. I thought this was a waste of some very good casting. Rat Race just did not make you laugh and the journey should have focused on the couples battling each other a little more instead of battling the people on the way. The obstacles were not very funny and the distance of the race was not great enough. There should have been a lot more rules to the race and the idea could have set you up for great laughter.

The Full Monty

I thought this was a pretty bizarre and somewhat humorous movie.  I thought that for a English flic it was pretty funny at least for their standards.  I liked the idea of these four men wanting to become strippers.  I thought it was unique and fun to watch.  The movie was very uncomplicated except for the scene between the father and his son.  For the most part it was very light and ended just on that note.  They did not try to have to the total happy ending, just a fitting one.

American Pie 2

This movie is as good as the first one in the least. This movie is full of one-liners that will have you rolling in your seat. Definitely a non stop laugher. This movie does not get too caught up in the love story that the first one does. This is definitely Stiffler's movie, without him this movie may be a failure. The previewed scenes to this movie are not the highlights of the movie at all. This is the sort of comedy that you have to see twice just to pick up all the funny parts that you missed the first time because you were laughing so hard. Overall Rating: 9.5
