How Did Americans Get So Weird?

Rating: 5/10 (6 October 2007)

Why is it so difficult to make a comedy that has some intelligence in it? Is it so hard to not show people as distorted caricatures who over think everything and make themselves look like utter fools? Is this the best that Hollywood writers can come up with and call it funny? Call it adult entertainment? It's truly bizarre what the public will eat up and call delicious. What possible reason do people want to see a movie like this? There were a few good laughs, more at the absurdity than the comedy. It's a shame the direction that American cinema has taken. You get either over the top action movies or over the top moronic comedies. Very few intelligent, emotional, and, significant work being done there with a few exceptions like Eastwood, Scorcese, and, a few others. We need more comedies like Sideways.
