Big Trouble (2002)

 

A great cast with a legendary director in a moderately funny movie. 

Rating: C

Semi-Pro (2008)

Better than I thought it would be. The film draws from a deep bench of supporting comedians to deliver the laughs. My favorite is the un-jealous husband, played by Rob Corddry. Will Arnett and Andy Daly as the sports commentators were excellent too. Farrell is consistently funny. 

Rating: C

Marcel The Shell With Shoes On (2022)

 

Not really a mockumentary, animation, or a comedy. It’s something I watched that made me go “hmm” that I found mildly interesting. Apparently in the Marcel universe, tiny household items are sentient and living all around us, and nobody gets freaked out by it. 

Rating: D+

Run Ronnie Run (2002)

Being a huge fan of Mr Show with David Cross and Bob Odenkirk, I had to check out this collaboration film/sketch project, even though I heard they weren't happy with the outcome. As I expected, it was hit and miss. Really funny in some parts, and really off mark in others. This movie had an unbelievable amount of cameos by every comedian in town. If you are a fan of theirs, it's worth checking out.

Rating: C

Cabin Boy (1994)

Cabin boy’s sense of humor is campy and weird, but not without its merits. The first half is much more entertaining than the off-the-rails second half. The laughs slowed to a crawl by the end.

Rating: D+

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)

Like Anchorman, there are some hilarious scenes and jokes that will
leave you rolling, but overall, it's an average comedy.

Rating: C

Elf (2003)

Quirky and fun. Will Farrel is allowed to run wild -- that's worth the price of admission alone. The ending was a bit cheesy, but the journey there makes you feel better.

Rating: B-
