You didn't mention about the credits at the start in that post. Anyhow, should I get that or the MC Hammer life story for something to laugh at?

Oh its worth watching for a laugh, if you get some mates round and some drinks you could have a whale of a time. There are plenty of "so bad its hilarious" moments, such as the intro in which the whole squad is utterly surrounded, yet while the general is giving orders for some people to retreat, the only sounds you can hear in the background are two guns shooting, and those guns sound (and look, for that matter) like those little sparking things used to light gas hobs. It is really an absolutely shocking film, it reminded me of "Bad Taste"...so if you are looking for an unintentional comedy its a prime candidate.

Just saw Pitch Black. Badass movie, like Aliens x5, and with Riddick of course.

I must say Dodgeball is one of the best comedies I've seen since The Big Lebowski. It was funny from beginning to end and the best jokes weren't wasted in the trailer. I was laughing my ass off, which is a rarity given my apathy to most recent comedies (Starsky and Hutch, Zoolander, that Jim Carrey movie about playing god...) I saw it with a mostly high school audience and some of the really hilarious jokes were apparently over their head... at one point there were 5 college students laughing hard and the rest of the theatre didn't get it, oh well their loss.

yak, i can see where you might not see jim carrey as funny, some cannot grasp his style of humor, but to wad him in with zoolander, and starsky/hutch is almost sacrilege

the dumbs**t stiller who stared in those 2 flicks will never be as funny as carrey.

Yeah, because Ben Stiller won an Emmy for The Ben Stiller show and Jim Carrey didn't get s**t for In Living Color

Also, Ben Stiller is funny, but it comes out in the writing and plot. The over top, over acting parade of Jim Carrey is just annoying.
I mean, don't get me wrong the guy is actually a good actor. But I don't find his immature 'gags' funny.

And Ben Stiller has made some pretty s**tty movies, but ... nothing can compare to Heat Vision Jack (one of the funniest shows I've ever seen in my life).

I want to see Dodgeball, even though it looks rediculous. [addsig]

I second Crono, I'm not a big fan of Carrey's comedies, although he's hilarious if he's just on a talk-show or something. His facial expressions just don't do it for me. Stiller, on the other hand, I'm a fan of, most likely because he reminds me of me.

i mean this when i say "I'm Sorry"

to be so disposed as to chose to compare oneself with ben stiller, is... well i just can't express it well enuff.. maybe someone more gifted with speech can do the very concept justice :/

you can't possibly be as big a loser as stiller is... if it were not for his parents both being fairly big stars themselves.. no one would give him the time of day.

the great thing about Stiller is that you laugh at him, not with him -- he always plays the clumsy fool who makes an arse out of himself, and that's the funny part. Jim Carrey is certainly a brilliant actor, but there is such a thing as over-the-top -- a small 5 minute SNL sketch with Jim Carrey is brilliant, but a whole 2 hours of that rubber face dancing all over the screen? It can get annoying. This is why in the movies where he doesn't go insane with the cartoon improv, he's always better. He can at least hold himself back sometimes.

I think the best mixture of this over-the-top limb flexing and restraint is on Me, Myself and Irene, which is f**king hilarious. [addsig]

carrey's greatest talent is in his innuendo comedy.. he can make you piss yourself, with almost no words involved, and his gift for beating himself to a pulp in irene.. true gold..

but the best sentence in all of movie history was "Irene, why am i peeing like i've had sex all night?"

the best scene, the legendary rhino scene in "when nature calls"

both had me laughing so hard, i saw spots..

stillers comedy.... ______________flatlines__________

I'd sooner stick pins in my eyes and nail my scrotum to the table than watch the hilariously unfunny and tragically bad "comedy" movies of Jim Carrey.

Rubber face + Crudeness = prick, not funny..

Just watched 'Panic Room'. Pretty good, plausable story line, and it did quite a good job of building tension. Somewhat predictable at many points, but overall it did a good job given the potential scope of the situation portrayed - worth watching.

Really? I thought Panic Room was a good concept washed out with boring characters, hammy acting and slow and linear plot myself.. :/ Fairly bad, but watchable on a mind numbing "its the only thing on" kind of level, i'd say.

One mans cup of sugar is another mans cup of err.. toxic waste, I guess.

carrey rulz, at least you were not dumb enuff to say stiller was better

and panic room... was good.. only made so by the excellent actress playing the lead role, otherwise, i prolly wouldn't have sat through to the end.

I saw "The Parole Officer" tonight, can't iamgine it will be known in the States, as it's a very British film (with a low budget I imagine). Coogan is funny at times, but it's nothing special - he seems to lean too much on jokes and legacy from the Alan Partridge series off the BBC. Quite painfully unoriginal at spots :/

Having said that, some moments had me laughing out loud, and then once more on the flipside the plot was fairly cliched and has been done to death before.

Very dry humour, sometimes stunted, not worth a rent - catch it if it's on TV though Don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed.

Watched 'Spartan' the other day... was pretty good for a movie with Val Kilmer as the main character... But overall, it was a good mix of action and drama, with it spaced out enough so you don't get bored.
