#42: The 41 Year Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It. Starring Bryan Callen. Rated R. 1 hour 22 minutes. IMDB Member Grade: 3.2 out of 10. My Grade: F-. This is a spoof movie that spoofs...well just read the title and you will know. This is by far one of the worst spoof movies ever made and quite possibly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It is not funny at all. It tries to be an exact spoof replica of all the title films and it fails miserably. This movie sucks. It's terrible. I hated it. I couldn't even finish watching it. Boo to this movie!
#43: Crazy on the Outside. Starring Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver. Rated PG-13. 1 hour 36 minutes. IMDB Member Grade: 5.2 out of 10. My Grade: C. This is a film directed by Tim Allen and he's actually not THAT bad. This movie however is missing any kind of heart and soul and it's actually kind of a flat paced movie. It has some good performances and it's kind of funny at times but overall it's just...boring. I almost didn't finish it. It has a pretty standard, cliched story. But Tim Allen at least tries to make a good movie. And it is a pretty OK movie. Just nothing remarkable or memorable. It's what I call a generic but good movie.
#44: Dinner for Schmucks. Starring Steve Carrell and Paul Rudd. Rated PG-13. 1 hour 54 minutes. Critics Grade: 51%. My Grade: C+. Dinner for Schmucks is a rather cliched comedy if you ask me. It has that same old same old formula. Guy is trying to impress his lady friend but then someone comes in and screws it all up. You know exactly where the heart of this story is going and you know exactly how it's going to end. The only saving grace here is Steve Carrell. His character is unique for this type of movie and is a fresh addition. He plays this truly moronic guy but you totally feel for him. You like him and also you feel bad for him. This guy truly is an idiot but he has a heart of gold. He provides some really funny moments. My main issue is that it took about an hour and twenty minutes to get to the actual "dinner". The dinner sequence, which is about 20 minutes or so, is the easily the best part of the film. The parts leading up to it had it's moments but was ultimately a let down. Just such a formula comedy with almost nothing too new to offer. Oh well. It had it's slight charm and a few chuckles. It was OK. Good enough to watch once.
That dark text is hard to read...I can't believe you even watched the first one. What were you thinking, lol? I thought Dinner with the Schmucks would be better. Steve Carrell is funny and glad to see him shine in this movie.
