The state of Hollywood Comedies
Neighbors 1 was bad, this was worse. Why has American mainstream comedy become so dire? When you think of the sophisticated gold of Billy Wilder or Howard Hawks, the slapstick of Laurel and Hardy or Buster Keaton, the inspired nonsense of the Marx Brothers. Nowadays, we get 'f...' every other word, jokes about tampons, babies playing with dildos, etc. Where's the wit, the wordplay, the pathos, the heart? Twenty years ago we had Groundhog Day or Clueless. Now we get Horrible Bosses, Hot Tub Time Machine and this. What's going on?
