Bull Durham

Your Reviewget this gear!

bulldurham.jpg

This movie is one of the best sports movies of all time. It is very realistic with the lifestyle of many minor league baseball players but it is also very funny and includes a little bit of romance. The kind of movie that almost anyone can enjoy. I thought that some of the pitcher's antics were a little unbelievable but it just sort of adds some of the humor to the film. Kevin Costner plays the key role as he tries to teach a young kid about professional baseball.

One Night At McCool's

A comedy starring Liv Tyler and Matt Dillon. This comedy had a couple of interesting twists in a very lighthearted story. This story is not a hysterical laugher but has some parts, especially the ending that are hysterical. This is a very creative story laced with comedy and an infatuation for a girl. It definitely keeps your attention and Liv Tyler plays an excellent role.

The Adventures of Joe Dirt

I thought that this movie had a couple of funny parts but many of these funny parts most people would probably think were stupid. I think that most of David Spade's comedy is for a very unique audience. I think that he is either a very funny guy or a complete loser and I can't figure out which one yet. I think that this movie had some funny parts but is also the kind of movie that most people can enjoy. It is the kind of movie that you can watch many times because it is easy to watch.

Say it isn't So

This comedy is made by the same people who brought you Something About Mary. It had some very funny parts but the actors made a hysterical movie into a very okay movie. Heather Graham is absolutely terrible and Chris Klein is not funny enough to play a lead role. The funniest two people in the movie are the father and the man with no legs. I can't get over how fake it looks when Heather Graham is crying.

State and Main

I thought that this movie was very comparable to Get Shorty. Both of the movies do not really seem like anything really happens in them. It is almost like they just made a documentary about what happens when you are trying to make a movie. This movie just happens to take place in a small town instead of a large city. The guy from Fargo is in it and you can see the resemblance to a nonsense film such as Fargo. The movie tries to mix in a little humor but not much and the love story is sort of shadowed the whole time. I can't figure out how to categorize this movie.

Pure Luck

This is a comedy movie that stars Martin Short and Danny Glover. Danny Glover is in his normal sidekick role like in all the lethal weapon movies. Martin Short is his boss and he has the worst luck of anyone you will ever no. But it never really hurts him to bad and sometimes it hurts the others around him so Danny Glover does not always want to be around him. This movie has a couple of funny parts because of the things that happen to Martin Short but in general in is nothing special.

Saving Silverman

I thought this movie had some really funny parts but the plot just seemed to run dry in the first half hour. The twists to the movie all become evident in the beginning of the movie. Those comedic ideas continue throughout the rest of the film. This movie needed a couple of original turns in the middle to make it a really funny movie. A couple of surprise scenes like the raccoon attacking the man in the beginning would be good. Not a bad rental.

The First Wives Club

The First Wives club had a couple of funny scenes and when it first began I thought it was going to be like the movie Hanging Up. Thank God it was better than that movie. This movie had some pretty light comedy and would probably be a little more interesting for girls to watch with other girls. I thought that it was good how the girls got back at the men and didn't just do the same thing back to people that they actually once cared about.

National Lampoon's Chrismas Vacation

The funniest of the vacation movies starring Chevy Chase. In this movie the whole family comes over for Christmas. The family is just as annoying as all families can be. There are more funny parts in this one than any of them. This has become one of the classic Christmas movies that everyone watches at Christmas. Probably Chevy Chase's best performance.

Austin Powers in Goldmember

I thought that their were many funny parts in this movie.  I thought that it was not quite as original as part II was.  A lot of the same jokes were repeated and most of them weren't as funny the second time around.  I really didn't like Foxy Cleopatra or Goldmember.  They were both terrible characters and both of them were not as lovable as the characters that had come before them.  Some of the ideas were original and very funny.  If they make another one of these movies though, they could be pushing it.

Delirious

I thought that this movie was a great idea and had a few comical parts. It is the kind of movie that you can sit down and watch on a Saturday Afternoon while you are laying on the couch. John Candy's comedy is very easy to watch and the movie is not too stressful. It is sort of a spoof on daytime television i.e. soap operas. It is enjoyable to watch how the plot twists. I would compare it to a movie like Groundhog Day because it is easy to watch and you know that it could never happen.

Oh Brother Where Art Thou?

I thought this was a very creative story by the kings of creativity, the Coen brothers. This movie has three escaped convicts having adventures after they escape jail. This movie ties many Christian ideas and battle with the devil. When George Clooney finds God he does not buy into it. The man going down the railroad tells about there adventure before it happens and then reappears at the end to remind you.

Little Nicky

Little Nicky was definitely Adam Sandler's worse performance. I left after 5 minutes of the movie. Something about how Adam talked with a messed up lip and a retarded voice led me to believe that this movie would never be any good no matter how funny the things he did were. I don't understand how they could get so many famous actor to accept such a dumb script. It might be hysterical to a 6th grader.

The Ladies Man

This movie is another character that comes from Saturday Night Live and onto the big screen. This movie has a couple of funny parts mainly for its blunt sexual language. This movie may not be funny to most audiences. I thought that their were a couple of funny lines but nothing special. Tim Meadows is not a particularly funny gut and that is why he hasn't really done much big screen work outside of Saturday Night Live. Not a complete flop but not a knee slapper.

The Original Kings of Comedy

Well this wasn't exactly a movie it was just great stand-up. It is very funny and something that should definitely be watched by a mature audience. I thought that all of these men were extremely funny and even though they did spend a lot of time knocking white people it was still very professional and comedic. It wasn't just your cousin down the street cracking jokes on white people. Steve Harvey is a very funny man and he is one of my favorite comedians. In this movie he brings all his friends to join in.

Hot Shots: Part Deux

Your Reviewget this gear!

This was the sequel to Hot Shots the Naked Gun type comedy. I thought that this movie as well as the other hot shots movie were not as good as the Naked Gun movies. I did think that they did a good job of mocking popular movies and events of th time that they were released. I just don't think that Charlie Sheen is quite as funny as Lesley Nielson. But all in all it can still make you laugh but they overdo it at times.

Fletch

I thought that Chevy Chase was hysterical in this movie. I thought that this movie showed Chase's sarcastic comedy which he seems to have perfected. It was creativd story about a man of many disguises that is trying to solve a mystery. The only difference is that Chase is not a detective but a newspaper reporter who is trying to crack the case of the drug trade on the beach. This movie was hysterical but also had a pretty descent story.

The Super

This movie stars Joe Pesci as the superintendent of a run down building that he owns. He is forced by the courts to live in this building and to make repairs. If he doesn't he will lose the building. This movie has a couple of good comedy scenes but nothing that will make you laugh out loud. It is your typical story of a Ebenezer Scrooge. He comes around to like the people in the building and make the repairs despite what his father tells him to do.

Wayne's World 2

The sequel to Wayne's World is not as funny as the original but still funny. Wayne and Garth set up a concery called Waynestock and they are having trouble having it catch on. There are still a couple funny parts if you are Wayne and Garth fans. This movie is a continuation of the first movie.

National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation

The fourth of the National Lampoon's vacations starring Chevy Chase. In this adventure the family goes off on a vacation to Las Vegas. Some of them find luck and some of the find loss in the City of Lights. This movie is not as funny as the last one but it also isn't the worst. These movies are comedy that anyone can find funny.
