Simon ,'Safe'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Zohan is getting some bad reviews though.
Both the Onion and SFChron thought that it was plenty silly but kind of lazy. And these are reviewers that like things like Talladega Nights and Zoolander so they're not averse to the broad comedy if it's funny.
I kind of want to see Zohan, too.
I was mildly traumatized by the Zohan movie poster. Adam Sandler's junk in my face! That's almost as wrong as naked Carrot Top.
I am definitely averse to the broad comedy.
I prefer comedic broads.
I think that the last comedy I've seen at the cinema was Meet the Parents, which I didn't really enjoy (too much humiliation humor for me).
Depending on one's definition of comedy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall was probably mine. I think I only laughed during the Dracula puppet show after sitting stone-faced or wincing for 95 minutes.
I laughed the whole way through.
The only comedies I can think of off the top of my head that I've enjoyed in recent years are Dick, Go, and Saved. I tend to prefer my comedy packaged with some drama (see Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Ghost World, and American Splendor).
I don't really think of Go as a comedy, even though it's pretty damn funny.
