Really? THIS is the big new Cult Comedy?


Okay, I just watched the film on NetFlix Instant Play, and yea, the film completely stank. And yet for some reason, everybody and their dog loves this. It's a good idea on paper, I guess, and there were attempts at humor in this thing. The big issue is this: whoever made this movie doesn't know about how to execute jokes. Every single punch line and joke in this movie is one that you can see coming a mile away! Take the scene with the police officer in the house. At the beginning of the movie, they show how a support beam is faulty and could fall on them with its many nails. You guys cannot honestly be telling me that as soon as the cop starts walking towards the support beam, that he's going to put his hand on the darn thing and get impaled. Or the thing with the wood chipper, and you see Tucker moving back and forth throwing wood into the thing. How could you not see coming that the kid who's about to run at him is going to miss the timing and land right into the thing! Sorry to rain on your parades, but this is not good comedy, at least not in my opinion.

Okay, I just read this comment on IMDC, and yea, the comment completely stank. The big issue is this: whoever wrote this comment doesn't know about how to execute thoughts. Every single line and thought in this comment is one that you can see coming a mile away! Sorry to rain on your parades, but this is not good commentary, at least not in my opinion.

I feel like that's where the humor lies. The jokes are intentionally set up this way, i.e. having Tucker innocently use the wood chipper and chainsaw. It's funny because he is going about it completely clueless and the audience sees where it is going. I'm amazed that so many people did not see the humor in that. I am very picky about spoof-type films, but I thought this one was hilarious.

james-mac is obviously too smart to recognize jokes. Maybe I oughta tell him the one about the guy who was way too smart to recognize jokes...

Why do morons always post these "I don't know why everyone liked this movie except me" posts.


Here's why: You're an idiot.



Sig: "U" "PPL" "WAT" etc. are not words. Grow up. "then" is a reference to time not a comparison.

I got a wood chipper chipper with yer name on it.

I'm sorry the Coen brothers don't direct the porn I watch. They're hard to get ahold of, okay?

It was obviously a parody of the entire genre with an ingenious twist. It was kinda funny, kinda dumb. I give it a 6.8.
