Good Fun

Rating: 8/10 (2 August 2002)

I was quite a bit skeptical of this film being very funny when I first saw the previews. The skit is funny on SNL in 3 minute increments, but an hour and half of it could be pretty bad. So, I had pretty low expectations going into this film. After seeing it, I have to say that I thought it was great and MUCH funnier than I thought it would be.
Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell are a spectacular duo! The both did a great job with their roles. Dan Hedaya and Chazz Palminteri were nice additions to the cast, they both did a good job. I have to say that Elisa Donovan, Gigi Rice, Meredith Scott Lynn and Jennifer Coolidge looked spectacular throughout the film, VERY beautiful women! Lochlyn Munro (as Craig) was great too, I've only seen him in a few movies, but he really seems to be a great actor. I was very happy to see Colin Quinn in the film. This guy is great! It was also cool to see Michael Clarke Duncan in the film, even though he had a very small part in the film. I don't know what it is, but there is something about Molly Shannon that really bugs me. Sometimes, she can be really funny, but other times I just can't stand her. Maybe it's because she always acts the same, in all her films, I don't know.
All in all, I thought the film was hilarious and was much better than I anticipated. There are a number of scenes that make me laugh just thinking about them. If you like the SNL skit at all, then you should probably see this film. I really hope that you enjoy the film. Thanks for reading,
