Up in Smoke

Video Clip

Your Review

I think that this is the best of the Cheech and Chong movies. The part in the beginning where they first meet and are in the car together smoking is probably the funniest scene in the movie. There aren't many movies about stoners that are actually funny and not just some terrible acting. This is one of those movies. There stupidity is so believable that it does not become hard to believe.

White Men Can't Jump

Your Review

I have seen this movie more times then I know. I have all the words memorized. Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes put on a con to win money. It ends up that they became friends and take on the legends of the beach. Woody Harrelson plays the stereotypical white basketball player that can shoot but can't dunk. His is a good enough player that he tricks many people. This movie is very funny.

I thought this movie was a good story about how a rich man falls in love with a girl from Queens. Dudley Moore plays the role of a drunk that has a somewhat fixed marriage and is looking for true love. He has to find a way out of his marriage and still have his fortunes in this hilarious comedy with ties to a very modern day love story. This movie discredited rich people as lazy but proper.

High School High

Your Review

This is a comedy movie starring Jon Lovitz along the lines of The Naked Gun. This movie plays into the stereotype of a typical ghetto school. This movie pulls from the movie Dangerous Minds that was a popular movie of the times. There are some very funny parts of this movie but I think that it could
offend many blacks. Jon Lovitz is a very funny man that never got enough good parts.

I thought that there were a couple parts of this movie that were pretty funny but a lot of the comedy I could not relate to. It may be my lack of touch with black culture. So of the jokes that were made I didnt even realize were an issue between blacks and whites. For instance, I did not know that black people did not like mayonnaise and that they did like hot sauce. I thought that Chris Kattan had a couple of funny parts but he sort of gets out of control at times. I sort of got sick of the same jokes being brought up over and over.

Big Trouble

Your Review

This movie reminded me of a mix between the Kevin Smith movies like Dogma and Clerks, mixed with the Guy Ritchie movies like Lock Stock... and Snatch. What I liked about this movie is that it did not waste all of its comedy in the first hour and then become a sentimental story for the last half hour. It holds its comedy the entire movie and though it does not really make you fall out of your chair it does make you giggle. Not a lot of one liners mainly the comedic lives of the characters and the city of Miami.

King Ralph

Your Review

This movie is pretty funny and about the perfect actor to play the part. I mean don't get me wrong, this movie was filled with many flaws but some of the things that Goodman does to embarrass the royal family are pretty funny. This movie is more funny for the shocking things that Goodman does and not for one liners. A typical rags to riches story that turns out to change the man at the end.

The Distiguished Gentleman

Video Clip

Your Review

I thought that this movie was pretty funny, but the only reason that it is funny at all is because of Eddie Murphy's ability to do so many impersonations. For the most part it just seemed like a stupid 80's comedy like Brewster's Millions, but Murphy showing a Chevy Chase like ability to play so many characters like it Fletch makes it a little funnier.

Orange County

Your Review

I thought that this movie was full of laughs but mainly only for one reason, Jack Black. I think that Black gives a good performance in a very ordinary sort of role. His character is not very original but he can still make you laugh. I think that the disfunctional family idea was supposed to be funny along with a couple of other comedy cameos, but it all comes down to Black's parts where you actually end up laughing. A good teen comedy about life and what's really important. Overall Rating: 8.4

Tootsie

Your Review

I thought that this movie wasn't terribly funny but it was a terribly original idea that has influenced so many movies since its release in the early 80's. I think that the best movie of this kind was probably Mrs. Doubtfire but this one was definitely a little less of a comedy than that movie but probably a little better movie. Dustin Hoffman gives a great performance in a very demanding role. Especially the scenes where he has to kiss a man.

Cheech and Chong's Next Movie

Video Clip

Your Review

I didn't think that this movie was even comparable to some of the other C&C movies, especially Up in Smoke. I just thought that for the most part Cheech and Chong were on a few too many adventures I think and not enough of them just being high doing normal things. This movie is still funny don't get me wrong, but in comparison this movie can't hold it's own.

Chasing Amy

Your Review

This is another of the movies that stars Silent Bob and Jay. This movie is about a guy who falls in love with a lesbian. This movie is sort of entertaining as the guy tries to change this girl into liking him. They become great friends but she like women. A few funny parts in this movie but is the worst of the Silent Bob and Jay movies.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Your Review

Steve Martin and John Candy meet up on a plane and Steve Martin can't get rid of him. This is a crazy story where Steve Martin seems to have one terrible thing happen to him after another. This movie is very funny especially to see how Steve Martin gets so upset by Candy. John Candy plays a sensitive man that is just trying to help but is extremely annoying.

Uncle Buck

Your Review

John Candy plays the role of a dead beat brother who has to come and babysit. his nieces and nephew while his sister in laws father is in the hospital. This is a funny movie about how he bonds with these kids and turns out doing a pretty good job as a babysitter. The time he spends in the house is hysterical and destructive. When you watch a movie like this you see why it was such
a shame that John Candy died.

The New Guy

Video Clip

Your Review

For the most part this movie was pretty bad. I think that the characters are stupid and the things that are supposed to be funny are stupid. This may catch on a little bit to young teens but that is about the only audience for a movie like this. I thought that the tie in of all the other movies, although creative was really a flop when it came to making the movie interesting. And of course the moral to the story is to be yourself and not change for anyone. Even though in this case the guy still gets a much better girl than if he wouldn't have lied.

Shallow Hal

Your Review

I thought this movie was a lot funnier than I was expecting it to be. I thought that it would be stupid because all the funny parts would be shown in the previews and I thought it was going to be a very shallow comedy. But instead it was somewhat creative and even though it had sort of a sick ending to it I thought this movie was a success. The Farrelly Brothers have not let us down as they come up with another creative comedy which always seems to have one really outrageous scene. I think that Jason Alexander makes this whole movie. Overall Rating: 8.2

Van Wilder

Your Review

I thought that this movie was absolutely hysterical. I was a little sceptical after the reviews came out and I thought that I would be able to predict the same old comedy. I thought that it was much more than that. Of course it is just your normal stupid comedy plot but the parts in the trailer are not even close to being the funniest parts in the movie. If anything they are the dumbest. I was sort of expecting a second generation Animal House which it was not, it is a much more modern type of comedy where everyone is dressed to fashion and worried about today's issues.

Nine to Five

Your Review

This movie was just a shade above terrible and that is giving it the benefit of the doubt. I guess it could be funny to a couple of women who could relate to their boss treating them like crap but they still could have taken this overdone idea and made it a lot funnier. All I know is that I would have been terribly dissapointed to have my wife or girlfriend drag me to see this movie.

Class Act

Your Review

The typical movie about a cool guy and a dork. The only real difference in this movie is that the dork does not stay a dork for that long. Sort of a black comedy but not too black. This movie is not really funny and you can see through the dork's acting so easily. He never really convinces you that he is a dork, he is just a perception of a dork overexagerated.

Your Review

I didn't think this movie was very funny at all. I thought that the comedy for the most part was pretty lame and random. The comical parts were not very relevant to what was going on in the movie at all. There may have been one of two times where I laughed out loud but that was mainly because I could relate the things going on in the movie to my own life.
