Thread: The Jerseydevil Film Appreciation Game

Hangover 2 was awesome due to Mike Tyson's singing at the wedding.

Part 2, was darker and there were more consequences(not enough still, but there were some). And it's not that I don't enjoy off humor, I kinda am on record as quite a fan, I just thought that the attempts in MacGruber were painfully out of context and forced/unfunny. It felt like they looked at what they had and said, let's punch it up with some gay stuff, almost insultingly. Just felt the entire tone of the movie was half baked(now there's a damned funny movie). There are always issues with these 90 minute 'skit' movies, but this one just suffered terribly from them. So yeah, I can defend Ladies Man, Coneheads etc because they actually had depth(YES I WROTE THAT), this one just seemed like the script was written on a coctail napkin.

And thanks for working in our long delayed H1 vs H2 argument.

I cannot accept this. Ladies Man had no single redeeming quality. A terrible skit which spawned a terrible movie. It may be tied for the least favorite movie I've ever seen with Fantastic Four. Other than that I appreciate your vast contributions to this discussion

HOGWASH!!!!

The musical number ALONE makes Ladies Man a perfectly worthwhile film.

NEW RULE!!!!!!!!

Anybody who criticizes a comedy in this thread must suggest a "run of the mill" comedy that they like.

No fair pitting The Ladies Man or MacGruber against something like Ghostbusters or Bananas (and if ANYBODY says anything bad about BANANAS........ hooooooo..... ). You don't think Ladies Man has a good bakers dozens worth of chortles in it.... then what does???


Seriously. Anybody who doesn't like Bananas doesn't like laughing.

There's a movie called "Bananas?"

Defending Bananas is too easy.

I have been left to defend Small Time Crooks. :O

Amazed that Doc liked Ladies Man. Wait. No, actually I am pleasantly surprised that he did. Look, thanks for the kind words Lag...but I found Ladies Man, in contrast to MacGruber, to be a SNL skit that they actually went out of their way to really flesh out. It has great, well, more than cameos, from some really good folks. And yes Doc...the musical number really does elevate the material to new levels of surreal ludicrousness. I love that movie. It is comfort food fo me, much like Coneheads is. Coneheads is really a sweet family movie disguised as a cameo-fest and no matter how many times I see it, the end fade out always tugs at my emotions. But I think your comment speaks volumes. If you are not a fan of the skit that an SNL movie is based on...stretching it to 90 minutes ain't gonna make it easier to digest. I fear a Gilly movie. and my enjoyment of MacGruber was hampered by the fact that I haven't enjoyed SNL for decades. Now if they ever made a GOAT-BOY movie!!!!!

And Doc, if it makes you feel right...I am not a Woody Allen fan. Not my tribe, not for me. Even I liked Bananas.

One of the most absurd and underated characters in the history of SNL. Sorry, it's fact. Deal with it.
