nakedpianoplayer said:

how old again?

cborgman said:

11 and 8....

im not overly strict on the movies they watch, but i dont like excessive drug use, graphic sex, or nasty violence those are just too hard to explain to them...

nakedpianoplayer said:

dunno, really.

if anything, the humor of watching an incredibly naive troop of bad actors think they are going to broadway with their show about the history of the town they are living in... micht be a bit over their heads...

and one of the characters is flamboyant... don't know if you have had that talk yet.


but the adults will love it.

cborgman said:

It would be a bit boring for the kids

How come no one said SpaceBalls? or The Princess Bride or Johnny Dangerously?

HollowellSA said:

I've never seen any of those.

Planes Trains and Automobiles
Dumb and Dumber

The Life of Brian I should imagine.

Like Isten says, it depends on who I'm with. My mate Matthew and I can always find something funny, even when it's unintentional.

The last film I can think of which had me absolutely cackling was 'Team America'.

But the one film which immediately comes to mind is 'Serial Mom'. I freakin' LOVE it!

I looked it up on Imdb...so it's another mockumentary by Christopher Guest? Is it more like Best In Show (which I didn't find all that funny) or more like This Is Spinal Tap (which I thought was hilarious)?

retina said:

um...neither.

i think it's much funnier than spinal tap, and i think it's MUCH MUCH MUCH funnier than best in show (which i do like, but not nearly as much).

the best thing i can say about guffman is that god is in the details, and it's the little things the actors do in this movie that left me gasping from laughter, though the big jokes are pretty damn funny too. parker posey is a stitch...so's fred willard and katherine o'hara...hell, so's EVERYONE.

Anxiety said:

Very interesting... I'll definitely check it out. Thanks!

retina said:

do yourself a favor! in my opinion, it's the funniest movie i've ever seen.

"Hollywood Shuffle!" "Ho Cake - hoes gotta eat too!"

JDINTERACTIVE said:

Yeah, that one.


I saw the HBO special with Lewis Black... funny shit

DexMSR said:

damn i forgot about dumb and dumber

charlottegelin said:

That movie on the whole wasn't as good as South park, but still, a lot of it was hilarious. The sex scene killed me when he shat on her face, and the songs "America, Fuck Yeah!" and "We need a Montage! Every shot you show a little improvement! That's how you know you're getting better in a Montage!"

And now every time I see Matt Damon I think "Maa Damuh"
