The Woman
i'm not exactly sure why i put this on the queue. i knew it was going to be bad and not really funny, but it was really bad, and not funny at ALL. usually i expect some funny out of will ferrell. i like his sense of humor. i think his humor is found in his randomness, and this movie didn't have a shred of random in it. that goes for danny mcbride too. it felt extremely rehearsed. (maybe, perhaps a misguided attempt at cheese?) it was a similar feeling to the point in which i stopped watching saturday night live. the skits went on for twice as long as they should have, to the point where the joke wasn't funny anymore. the plot was unfunny stupid too.
the show was great. the appeal of the show was the cheese factor. when studios dump tons of money into comedy remakes of low budget cheese it tends to fail miserably. the magic mixture has been tampered with. like all those cold products that had to change it's ingredients or be put behind the counter. add this to the ranks of dayquil. terrible and ineffective.
You are seriously on drugs.
ReplyDeleteThat movie was fantastic.
Every time I think of that movie, I think of the scene where everybody is blasted out of their minds and chillin' at the pool.
That shot of them and the monkey smiling kills me all the time.
i think you are the one on drugs. it was stooooopid. i didn't laugh once. i think the only time i actually cracked a smile was when will farrell was dancing through the eggs in the volcano singing a chorus line.
