The Birdcage

Your Review

I thought that this movie was sort of stupid but funny in some aspects. I thought that the choice of the two men for gays was outstanding. They compliment each other very well and the story of the movie was somewhat creative. The one thing that I do think is funny is how the two get along in the house and the embarassment that it brings to their family. Robin Williams is always good playing a gay guy and movies involving gays are usually pretty funny.

Police Academy

Your Review

This movie was not as funny as some of the later police academy movies. I thought that the best characters were sort of minor if not nonexistent in this movie. I love to watch the commisioner with his goldfish and I don't think that they showed him enough. I think that if I went to the movies to watch this movie when it first came out I don't think I would have gone to the movies to watch the rest of them.

Legally Blonde

Your Review

I thought this movie was a lot like the movie clueless with a couple of naive blonde's. Reece Witherspoon in this movie is a lot more sweet that Cher in Clueless. In Clueless you almost don't care about the girl because she is so spoiled. I thought that in this movie they could have developed the love story a little bit more between Reece and the older lawyer. I also would have liked to have seen a little more conflict between Reece and the lawyer who tried to come on to her. But all in all this is a sweet and enjoyable movie. A no brainer.

Your Review

I thought that this movie was better than most of Brendan Frasier's films. In that I mean that I could actually sit through the whole thing without saying that it was a total joke. This movie has some comical parts with Frasiers mishaps with his wishes from the devil. I think this is the kind of movie that kids can enjoy with their families and should be a pretty good rental. I see something in it that just about anybody can like.

Scrooged

Your Review

I thought that this movie was a good variation to most of the christmas stories. I hate how many Christmas story are almost scary but this is actually funny. It is not up to par with Christmas Vacation but it is about as funny as the Santa Claus. I think that Bill Murray is excellent in this movie and Bobcat Golthwait adds a good character. If you are looking for a good time for the holiday season than rent this movie and enjoy a newer version of A Christmas Carol.

Summer Catch

Video Clip

I thought that this movie was pretty stupid and it just seemed like the love story was just too out there. The whole movie all that happens is Freddie Prinze gets mad and then the girl chases him. No girl would chase after a guy after she found out that he was wearing a girl's thong out at night. Most of the baseball things in this movie are unrealistic and the comedy is not overwhelming enough to make you look past such things. Could've been good but wasn't.

Better Off Dead

Your Review

This is an 80's comedy about a guy's love for the girl that left him. Charles Demar is the only really funny guy in the movie. John Cusack has to race down a deadly ski slope that hardly anyone
can do. He has to beat the guy who is stealing his girlfriend from him. The part between John Cusack and the Chinese racers is funny.

Nothing But Trouble

Your Review

This was a movie full of big name actors in a crazy tale about a small t town justice system. John Candy and Dan Ackroyd each play a couple of characters. This movie has some light humor about a
guy who is held for running a stop sign in the town of Valkenvania. This crazy justice system is creative and funny. Demi Moore and Chevy Chase have to escape this crazy place and they find that this court is more popular then wrong.

Beetlejuice

Video Clip

Your Review

This movie was a comedy abou dying and ghosts. This is a movie for the whole family, it can be watched by people of all ages. Michael Keaton brings comedy into the undeworld. This movie could be scary to little kids but a light easy going comedy to an adult. The girl has to help the family realize that they are dead and let them learn how to handle it and not let Beetlegeuse out to reek havoc.

The Whole Nine Yards

Video Clip

Your Review

I thought this movie was funny. I got mixed reviews from many people but I love this kind of comedy. Bruce Willis plays his role perfectly and Matthew Perry is my favorite character on friends. This movie is very loose and is the kind of comedy that almost anyone can watch, especially those in their teens and higher.

Beverly Hills Ninja

Your Review

This was the last starring role for Chris Farley before his death. In this movie he teams up with Chris Rock instead of David Spade. This movie is not on the same level as Tommy Boy or Black Sheep. Chirs Rock is not the strong contrast to Chris Farley like David Spade is. There were still some funny parts and it is always funny to see a fat man doing karate.

Freddy Got Fingered

Video Clip

Your Review

I think this may be one of the worst movies ever put on to the big screen. I am someone who thinks that Tom Green is a very funny man but in this movie, if you can call it that, he can not but two things together. It is disgusting but in a sort of funny way but the movie just does not form into anything that I can even begin to call a storyline. If you were to watch one scene I am sure that you could think it was pretty funny but to watch the movie straight through is almost impossible.

Beverly Hills Cop

Video Clip

Your Review

I think that this is a good role for Eddie Murphy at the time. He plays sort of the role of a Chris Tucker in Rush Hour. Eddie can bring comedy but at the same time act like a real police officer. This movie is funny not because of the stunts that Eddie Murphy performs but what he says in conversations and how he manipulates people. I think that this movie has stayed around for so long because it is humorous but not to humorous that all the funny parts get played over and over again. It is just easy to watch.

Ready to Rumble

Video Clip

Your Review

I thought that this movie was about as much of a joke as wrestling really is. I thought that most of the funny parts were minorly funny at best but the message is good in a way. I like how the guys stand up for what wrestling really should be and not what it has become today. That is a modern day soap opera with a bunch of buff guys looking for acting careers like The Rock. The only reason it is more entertaining than boxing is because nobody gets knocked out in boxing anymore.

The Burbs

Your Review

This movie is an almost Addam's Family type comedy about a group of neighbors who believe that their new friends are killing people in their house. Of course they can never really prove it so they snoop around to try to catch these people in the act. It is sort of funny to watch what these people see or think they see. I also like how they can never really catch anyone for doing these crimes. This is an easy watch movie about a strange family and some nosy neighbors.

Mr. Deeds

Video Clip

Your Review

I thought that this movie was pretty funny. I never get sick of Sandler playing the same role in every movie where he is the dumb guy who gets made fun of by the well to do people. I think that this is second tier comedy from Sandler. It is not up to par with Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore but the large amount of physical comedy makes it similar to Waterboy but probably a little funnier.

UHF

This movie was just not very funny. I thought that one of the only light spots in the movie was the antics of Michael Richards. You know him as Kramer on Seinfeld. I think that his antics almost never get old. I think that one of the things this movie does show is that Weird Al's movie career would not last very long because he is not a very attractive man and he is not funny enough to stay on the airwaves. All ages can watch this film but not many will totally enjoy.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Your Review

This the classic 80's comedy of rebellion and good times. Ferris Bueller is the high school students icon because of his popularity and his ability to do anything without getting caught. But as a movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off has only a few funny parts and never catches your attention to keep watching. You can easily watch half of this movie.

Raising Arizona

Your Review

I thought that this was a very creatively funny movie. The Coen Brothers really debut their name to everyone with this film. I think that it is a good role for Nicholas Cage and John Goodman finds his fit in with the Coen brothers to later be used in The Big Lebowski. This movie is just silly and may not be that funny to all audiences. Not a movie you will laugh out loud at but a movie you can sit and enjoy it's very loose humor.

Coming to America

Your Review

This movie is supposed to be hysterical. I didn't find it that funny but a good lovestory. This is a story about loving someone for them and not the money that they have. It was a good touch by having the right girl come down the aisle at the end of the movie. There were a few funny parts and great acting by Arsenio Hall and Eddie Murphy to play so many parts. This is where the idea for The Nutty Proffessor came from.
