This film is a good all around romantic dramedy. All the characters in
the story become interconnected and realize that as much as their
problems are personal they need the company of others to help them
through life. The idea that "you are your own worst enemy" is thematic

I was not interested in seeing this movie as I thought it would be a
stupid teen story. My daughter went with her older cousins, she is only
16 and since the theater had strict security I was forced to go in as
her guardian. I am 46 years old and I laughed the whole entire movie.
By the end I was laughing SO hard that I could not take it anymore. I

the end of the world. And it's also a comedy.That says it all right there, doesn't it? When this film ended, I ran to tell every one I could find about it.

This was a movie I was really looking forward to at Sundance. We're all
familiar with the Darwin Awards, a website started by Stanford
molecular biologist Wendy Northcutt to humorously recognize extremely
stupid acts that lead to self-inflicted, accidental death. Northcutt's
notion is that the human gene pool improves when these tragi-comic
figures, who are presumably plagued b...

This National Lampoon's movie was supposed to be a comedy. After the
finished filming it in Greensboro, they took it out to L.A. to try and
"humorize" it, adding a camel in the beginning and replacing a few
lines. Jon Bon Jovi, as much as I love him, was so awkward in the role
of Frank. The color of his outfits were all wrong, his pants too tight,
his smile (and quite possibly ...

This movie reminds me of the romantic screwball comedies from the 30's,
40's and 50's. The movie succeeds in following the humor, witty dialogs
and great pace witch made the romantic comedies of old so great. That
is, until the ending. The entire ending is ruined, copy-pasted from
every other average romantic comedy today (they split up, the guilty
one realizes his/her fault an...

I was expecting some cheesy half-baked
effort on all parts, but then again, the film itself
took on some twists of its own. Sure, a couple
of the twists could be seen a mile away, but it
was the way the scenes were cleanly executed
to the point where you had to wonder "How is he
getting out of this?" While some of the reviews are
over the top, this is certainly o...

Jim Carrey is back to much the same role that he played in The Mask, a
timid
guy who is trying to get ahead in the world but who seems to be plagued
with
bad luck. Even when he tries to help a homeless guy from being harassed by
a
bunch of hoodlums (and of course they have to be Mexican, obviously), his
good will towards his fellow man backfires. In that case, it wasn't...

Charles Busch is a female impersonator who writes and stars in genre
parodies. His last filmed effort was Psycho Beach Party. This latest
effort, Die Mommie Die, is a parody of the drama queen melodramas of the
50s
and 60s, in which actresses like Susan Hayward schemed andseduced callously, and encountered crises which were not only larger than
their real-life counterparts, bu...

did not commit. The eccentric and energetic `Cherish, ' written and
directed by Finn Taylor (`Dream with the Fishes') has the virtues of romance
and thriller with a good dose of odd love. It is by far superior to any
other in its multi-genre this year.Robin Tunney plays Zoe as a cross between Frankie Potent...

Generally speaking, I agree with the masses on the IMDb but in this
case I must protest. This movie deserves a much higher rating than a 5.
I would personally give it a 7. After viewing several mundane comedies,
I found "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" to be refreshing. A quick
summary of the plot: Kevin Caffrey (Martin Lawrence) attempts to
burglarize billionaire Max Fair...

It's hard to really adequately describe this movie. Let
me try.For starters, in spite of the advertisements, it's not merely a remake of
"Kelly's Heroes". Yes, we are in a postwar situation, where a bunch of
Americans are trying to "recover" gold stolen
by the enemy, but that's the end of the similarities."Three Kings" does an excellent job of showing just how gonzo modern

A fantastic movie demonstrating the self righteousness of people on the
far left and right of the political spectrum: "I'm right, your wrong,
end of story". It's very rare that a film which might be described as a
political dark comedy shows the faults of people on the right and left
who know that they're always right and it demonstrates that there's
really no right or wrong (t...

Combine THE THIN MAN with IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT and THE FRONT PAGE and what

(Nolte playing Jack Nicholson and Roberts playing herself) try to outscoop
each other, get drawn into a suspicious cover-up and wind up joining forces
(and falling in love) as they single-handedly solve the mystery. Terrible

You know you've had a boss like this. Someone who stole your ideas,
used you to advance their career, and did everything to keep you from
getting the credit you deserve. I think of him every time I watch this
movie, and although he got his come-uppance, as such people usually do,
this one is still more satisfying.Griffith is a little annoying as the giggly secretary with ambition,<...
