stupid

Rating: 1/10 (14 September 2013)

I want to just say, I watched this film at the suggestion of someone I thought had better taste than he does. I can't tell you how shocked I was when I realized that this is what he considers a comedy. Unsophisticated, low comedy, and dumb, with a really good cast - Will Ferrell, Christina Applegate, Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, Vince Vaughan, Fred Willard -- but they were all let down by a really rotten script.
There were a couple of funny things - my favorite was everyone singing Afternoon Delight in harmony. If only the rest of the film had been like that.
So you might ask, so what do you consider funny? Well, "What about Bob?", both "La Cage aux Folles" and "Birdcage" for different reasons, lots of comedies in the '80s like "Money Pit," "Night Shift," Billy Wilder, Howard Hawks, Preston Sturges. I even liked "Starsky and Hutch." Low comedy like "Anchorman" just isn't my thing.
