When The Hangover was released, everybody was talking about how funny it was and that I should see it. When I finally caved and saw it, it wasn't funny at all. Same with This Is The End.

Not to mention he didn't even watch half of it. That means he missed some of the best parts.
Rogan and Goldberg have mentioned that about half of the film is ad-libbed and one of the actors (Baruchel I think) mentioned that a lot of real-life personal stuff came out in the on-screen conversations.
I think the film is hilarious and full of subtle comedy and wit despite (and because of) the over-the-top scenario. The conversation about whether actors are good or bad people is one of the best things I've seen in a comedy film. To me the ending is a bit lame but I guess they needed to conclude the film somehow. Overall I think that the film proves that the major players understand comedy deeply and I'm glad that a film like this is successful.

Inform me. I got to the part where they were arguing about jacking off into the porn mag, and at that point, the movie just got stale for me. Admittedly there were some funny parts, but at the same time, it really was not as funny as I was hoping it'd be.

Even if I thought you might agree with me (which I don't because I loved the first parts of the film), I don't think I can adequately describe everything that happens in the second half and explain why I think it's funny in a post.

I will say that I think the film gets funnier up to the ending. The scenario gets more desperate, more personal conversations are had, and even more ridiculousness ensues. If you don't like it, you don't like it but I highly recommend watching the entire film to people who like the Rogan/Goldberg stuff. I've never seen The Hangover so I can't comment on that comparison.

Perhaps, though I have a list of movies that I'll be watching and this one just happened to be on it. If I ever get to the point that I feel like I want to watch it again, i'll do that.

Well I started my 31 nights of horror leading up to Halloween so every night I'm checking out a different horror movie.

Maybe because I don't know the book or is it a graphic novel this movie is based on? But anyways this movie was just randomness that just ends up making sense some how and I loved every minute of it. Usually I hate shows/movies that are just being random for the sake of it but they were able to get away with it and I didn't judge them for it.



The Hamiltons

I love movies like this. It reminded me of that movie where the twins end up taking a family hostage and torturing them and also Strangers where they just end up terrorizing people for no reason. This movie ends up being different though because by the end of the movie you find out why they always move towns and kidnap people. I hear there is a sequel that came out last year called The Thompsons. I might look for it.

This was the funniest part of the movie for me. I was dying. I'm not going to argue this topic. It will go nowhere. This isn't a pretentious statement. It's a matter of arguing what is funny and what is not which is a horrible argument that I don't want to have. Different strokes.

I am not going to review it here as it needs a second viewing for sure. Even writing a few more lines about the film has found me deleting them because I am analysing my own words! Let's say this: it could be one of the greatest stories ever told or a complete pile of pretentious crap but there is no doubt that the acting, cinematography, set design and score are nothing short of stunning.

I don't really understand most U.S sports at all TBH. I have also tried not to, so the idea of a stand off whereby opposing team members beat the crap out of each other in ice hockey matches is odd to me; however this is an absolute blast. Expletive fuelled, jet black humour but still with an emotion filled beating heart that dispenses with most of the sentimentality that doesn't do much for us pragmatic Brits makes for a great movie. Seann William Scott is quite simply brilliant in this movie. Makes me want to see an ice hockey game even if I don't get the rules.

Exactly. I had and have no want or need to argue it, never wanted to. Just not my kind of comedy. And yes, it was mentioned that I did enjoy Movie 43. It was quirky, and clever.
