Great Movie, but a comedy???

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2004)

This is a very moving picture about the emasculation of modern man. I was reviewing the top rated movies in different categories and saw this movie as the top rated "comedy." Comedy is defined as follows: Main Entry: com·e·dy Pronunciation: 'kä-m&-dE Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural -dies Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French comedie, from Latin comoedia, from Greek kOmOidia, from kOmos revel + aeidein to sing -- more at ODE Date: 14th century 1 a : a medieval narrative that ends happily Dante's Divine Comedy b : a literary work written in a comic style or treating a comic theme 2 a : a drama of light and amusing character and typically with a happy ending b : the genre of dramatic literature dealing with the comic or with the serious in a light or satirical manner -- compare TRAGEDY 3 : a ludicrous or farcical event or series of events 4 a : the comic element the comedy of many life situations b : humorous entertainment nightclub comedy
This movie is not a comedy. It needs to be removed from this list. There is such thing as a "comedy drama," e.g. Pretty Woman, but I don't think this movie has enough laughs in it to make that category. Even though Hamlet has comic relief, that doesn't make it a comedy drama.
