The Films Thread

Yup going to watch American Pie : The Reunion tonight.. by the 2 trailers I saw.. it looks OK.. but Im haphazarding a guess here that they are the best bits of the film.. the rest will be drivel.. interspersed with annoying trashy american rock music... but the missus wants to see it...

Well I was mostly right, some of the funniest bits in the film were ruined by watching the trailers.. however there were other amusing bits.. the ending was great!!

...if you've seen the film "Grown Ups" then its in that same kind of vein, but obviously with the cast of the original american pie.. theres no real story to it - but it does have a few good laughs in it.. its nowhere near as bad as the wedding one (AP3), so I'd say if your a fan of the original or the 2nd one then go see it... its been 13 years since the first one came out and I did feel a bit old watching the new one..

Have to say as well... I watched the trailer for Piranha 3DD last night as well and it looks absolutely hilarious!!

Here's a question for you...how many funny films have you watched that have had you in hysterical or near hysterical laughter..?

Only a few for me:

A Fish Called Wanda
Airplane
Naked Gun

The first one there had me laughing so much that it physically hurt lol

'You owe me, a p-p-p-p-pound' lololol

Might have to download and watch that again now

Dead men don't wear Plaid

Space balls and the very best...

Life of Brian.

All hilarious to me.

Loads.
Anchorman stands out though - I'm not a Will Ferrell fan but Steve Carrol's character had me in tears.

Aw christ on a bike, how could I forget about Life of Brian..?!!?!? That's another one to add to my list. He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!!!

Watched Chronicle last week. Looked good from the trailers last year, but then I heard a couple of bad reviews and kinda forgot about it.

Very much enjoyed it - gotta be worth at least 8/10 in my book.

Dumb and Dumber has to be the best slapstick comedy ever made.. Jim Carrey films are awesome...

"It feels like your running at an incredible rate Harry"... never makes a car journey boring

I'll add There's Something About Mary to the list. Probably my favourite comedy ever.

Forgot about that one too, nearly wet myself when the dog died lololol

Watched the first half of Battleships tonight.

I pray I never have to sit through the rest of the film.


I don't think I have the vocabulary and literary skills to adequately convey how bad this film is. Suffice to say it's even worse than Knight And Day - the only film I've ever rated as 1/10 on IMDB.
