Not funny

Rating: 4/10 (23 November 2008)

This was the fourth movie, I've seen of Apatow and I didn't find even one of these jokes funny. The other movies I saw were Anchorman, The 40 year old virgin and Superbad. I know there are people, who think these movies are funny and they are able to laugh. For me watching these movies was a waste of time. Don't get me wrong, I like good movies and a good joke makes me giggle(there is no way to suppress it). The idea of making a parody on biopic, like in this case Walk the line seems to be a good idea. The question is how you do it. Definitely not like Apatow did it. The repeating of "cut in a half with a machete jokes" or "the wrong son died lines" don't make them funnier. Same for the drug jokes. They are not funny (maybe you have to smoke some weed to find them funny). As I watched it on DVD I had the "pleasure" to watch the extras, like "Walk Hard-The real Dewey Cox". Okay they got Sheryl Crow and other people in front of a camera to say things about the "real" Dewey. This whole thing is as funny as the movie and if you can laugh at lines like "I love Cox" (get it?), you're probably 15 years old and will have fun with this production. If not you better go watch a funny comedy.
