This movie does not hold water today.

Rating: 6/10 (2 May 2007)

To call this movie a comedy. Is a mistake. Even the last comment giving this movie a 10 couldn't even call this movie comical. This movie failed to make me laugh. And i laugh at everything. But other than that this movie is pretty well done. Good cinematography. I guess. I didn't really notice because i was trying to hard to find a funny scene and everything was just kind of chuckle worthy MAYBE and then all of a sudden the movie was over.
I know many of you will be screaming bloody murder at my claims. But seriously if this movie was showed to today's audience this movie would flop! Regardless of whether it was black and white or not. So i hate to be the voice of the stupid consumer but this movie just wasn't funny to me. And by all means you can debate this to death with each other and attempt and try to explain that the comedy is much more intelligent or character based or whatever, but in a society BUILT of oddballs and weird characters even Seller's over the top portrayal of common characters (President, Brit, Scientist) almost get lost in the wash of the kind of characters we have today: 40 year old virgins or Wrestling Monks included.
Not to say that these movies are necessarily better. But i definitely laughed at these ones. And i believe as a stupid consumer i speak for most. This movie may deserve the small cult following it has... but greatest comedy of all time? Don't make me laugh!
