All About the Benjamins
 

Your Reviewget this gear!

allaboutbenjamins.jpg

I went into this movie thinking that it was going to be a real comedy because of the two stars in the movie.  I found that I didn't think this movie was much of a comedy at all.  It wasn't a bad movie, don't get me wrong.  It just wasn't that funny.  It was different than I was expecting.  The only part that I thought was really funny was when Epps fell on his head after he jumped out of the boat.  It was one of those, I am going to point a gun at you and not kill you, movies. 

American Pie

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen. This movie is geared towards upper teens and young adults. Stiffler is the funniest of the characters. This movie has many sexual scenes as the whole movie revolves around sex. The movie also ends up being a good love story just as Something About Mary or Meet the Parents.

Dumb and Dumber

This is the funniest movie I have ever seen and I have probably seen it 50 times. My favorite scene is when Jeff Daniels throws the snowball at Lauren Holly's face. There are two many funny parts to count. You quote this movie over and over until everyone knows what you are quoting. This is the diamond of comedy movies.

Airheads

This movie had a few funny parts and they usually involved Steve Buschemi or Adam Sandler. I have found that it is impossible for Brendan Frazier to be funny. All in all the movie is pointless and stupid. I would not recommend watching it. The amount of times that you will laugh during the movie will be less then the amount of times you laugh watching an episode of who's the boss.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

I thought that this movie was not all that it was cracked up to be. It was high school students acting
like middle schoolers. I felt that this movie didn't have any point and was not funny. It was a typical
80's movie. Only a bad one. The students are doing the acts of high school kids but talking about it like they are 12.

Big

Big is an 80's comedy about a boy who gets his wish. The story finds him very successful in New York and still acts like a little boy. It shows how adults should enjoy their life and their jobs more even if it
does not go along with how other adults are. It is a story about staying a kid. Tom Hanks does not want to stay an adult. this is what all adults wish they could do, or they should.

Brewster's Millions

I thought that this movie seemed like sort of a rediculous idea at first but as it goes along it seems pretty wacky.  I thought of a bunch of ways to spend the money but the writer did a good job of making it so that those things would not be an option.  This movie is your typical eighties comedy, not much better and not much worst.  The kind of movie you can sit back and watch and not really have to think to much.

Four Rooms

This movie was advertised as being like Pulp Fiction but a comedy. This was totally false. This movie was terrible, the witches were unrealistic and the bell hop acted like a moron all the time. I didn't have any interest to even continue watching this movie. That is how much I thought it was stupid. Any comedy movie with Antonio Banderas has to be bad. I didn't even think it was funny.

Clerks

This movie is the ultimate low budget film. It is realistic and funny movie. Some may think that the humor is this movie isn't to their liking. It is very dry humor funny to some and not funny to others. I found it to be funny and I could relate to the people working in the convenience store. The scenes that are the funniest may be different to anybody. This is the first of the movies starring Silent Bob and Jay.

Caddyshack II

This movie is uncomparable to the original and it fact it sort of bothered me with it's copying of ideas from the original but with different actors.  There is nothing I hate more than to see a sequel with different actors.  If you can't get the same actors to play their roles than you should not have a sequel.  Off the top of my head I can not think of one sequel that was better than the original with different actors.  If you want to have different actors that is fine but make them original characters, like for instance Randy Quaid in this movie.  He is one of the bright spots in this movie, along with Chevy Chase's cameo.

Ghostbusters

This movie is a classic. It is something that can be watched by a little kid and be entertained. The comedy for kids is provided by Dan Ackroyd. It can also be funny to adult with the comedy of Bill Murray. The main thing is that the movie was a success and has been a success since it's release. The star studded cast makes this movie what it is today. With other actors it would not still be watched.

There's Something About Mary

One of the funniest movies of all time. Many classic scenes that will go down as some of the funniest scenes ever. This is the breakthrough film for Ben Stiller. It still draws in those who desire a love story. The hair gel scene and the bathroom scene will be laughed at for years to come. Never overcomedied, this movie is enjoyable as a comedy and as a regular movie.

Class

This was an 80's movie about a guy who sleeps with his roomates mom. The things I thought were unbelievable was how much these high school kids get away with. Especially since they were in a private school. The movie is a bad coincidence that could happen to anyone I guess. This movie has many teen actors from the eighties but isn't a very popular movie anymore.

Swingers

This is a movie about the night life in Los Angeles. The night life of a couple of mid 20 year old guys. I find this movie to be very realistic and has a few funny parts but in general was more of a love story. This guy finds out that his girl friend doesn't want him anymore and he can't move on. When he finally does he meets a much better girl and finds has to choose between his old girl and his new girl. This is a very common problem for people in the world today.

I thought this movie was somewhat comical but all in all a strange movie. This fifteen year old boy whose life is his academy falls in love with his teacher. This teacher now becomes what he lives for. By the end of the movie he has developed and matured and learns that there is someone just like him their all the time. He finds that he is a great writer and takes passion in his writing.

Man on the Moon

I thought this movie was a great story about an extraordinary man that was never understood. If Andy Kaufman were alive today he wouldnt be much different than any of the comedians on Saturday Night Live. I thought that Kaufman was such a loose cannon that even in his death many thought it was just a prank. The movie leaves that open to interpretation at the end when he shows up on the stage.

Loser

I thought this movie was going to be a little funnier than it was. It turns out that it is just a movie about a loser guy who is trying to win the heart of a girl. The thing I didnt like about the movie is that the boy is discriminated because he likes to study. What is the deal with Mena Suvari liking older men in these movies.

Liar Liar

I thought that this movie was funny and entertaining. It was not too ridiculous but not hysterical either. It is very relaxing to watch an easygoing comedy like this. The most comical scene of the movie is when Jim Carrey is beating himself up in the bathroom. Jim Carrey becomes a changed man and a good father.

Lucas

Lucas is about a boy that gets picked on when he is in high school. He finally joins the football team and falls in love with a girl that is way out of his league. He finally gets to play in a game and everybody is cheering for him. He is in the play to win the game. This is a great movie about a boy who has no friends and people start to learn how good of a friend he can be.
