Ya.. Talladega Nights just didn’t do anything for me. Will Farrell is someone who is either SUPER funny or totally fails. It’s weird how that works with him. Sometimes I just look at him and can’t laugh. I like him though.

Just saw The Big Lebowski for the 1st time the other day. Had heard about it for years. I got through 50 minutes and I think I cracked a smile once when he stole the rug, but I never laughed. Worst…movie….ever!!!!!!!

>a fat, hairy Russian's asshole in your face

Funny you write this, because the movie was EXACTLY about this kind of thing.[...] *But he wasn't Russian.* This is exactly the kind of misconceptions that people have about other nations that the movie tries to show up. Kazakhstanians are not Russians.

I think that sentence showed exactly what that Borat was very relevant.

You're right, Kazakhstan was part of the USSR/Soviet Union until the region broke apart in 1990ish, but most Americans still use the term "Russian" to be fairly inclusive of all bits of the CIS -- but the entire piece was tongue in cheek anyway.

Borat, the character, has been poking fun at ignorance since he was conjured, but the movie was a story, not a series of short pieces, which would have made it much funnier to me.

I didn't find the part with the fat naked guy funny, and I think dick and fart jokes are hilarious.

>a fat, hairy Russian's asshole in your face

Funny you write this, because the movie was EXACTLY about this kind of thing. The guy was fat, hairy and an asshole and no one denies that (in fact, the fat guy wrote the part himself as 'Borat' is actually *his* movie). But he wasn't Russian. This is exactly the kind of misconceptions that people have about other nations that the movie tries to show up. Kazakhstanians are not Russians.

I think that sentence showed exactly what that Borat was very relevant.

Both myself and JBQ loved Borat. I don’t think it was a masterpiece, but I found it really funny and not a racist/stupid movie as some people wrote online.

One film that looked funny from the tv ads... Date Movie.
There are some movies you listed above like Ace Ventura that I didn't find hugely funny, but none of them like Date Movie that I really wish I didn't waste my money in seeing.

I think the safest thing to do is avoid any film that has anything to do with the guys who did any Scary Movie.
