But everyone also points out that it's made by the folks who made Dumb and Dumber . I should have known that these two things don't belong together. Chris Elliot proves that Cabin Boy will be his finest effort. It wasn't he worst movie of this type. But I guess I'm just not wild about the type.
Good slapstick can be great.
But I don't think that Ben Stiller's style works very well here. He just isn't a physical humor kind of guy to me. Of the four cast members, all but one have gone on to decent careers. Bonus points if you can tell me the fourth. One of the trailers was for The Waterboy , with Adam Sandler.
