Excellent film. It's amazing that the guy who played the unscrupulous teacher went on to play a couple of douchebags on film. The one in Ghostbusters and twice in Die Hard movies. I'll add a cautious one. My Fellow Americans. Great James Garner/Jack Lemmon flick, where-in two former Presidents each from a different party must band together after someone is out to frame/kill them. It's a great, fun, funny movie. I've never once heard anyone mention it besides my friend who originally showed it to me. Here's the synopsis from a site. "Jack Lemmon plays ex-President Russell P. Kramer, a staunch Republican who's wallet is tighter than his who-ha hole. James Garner plays ex-President Matt Douglas, a smart-ass Democrat who, in his spare time, writes books and sleeps with his editors. Both of these men are bitter rivals, fighting in airplanes, cars and even former Presidents funerals. To say they don't get along is an understatement. Elsewhere in the White House, a scandal thought long buried has resurfaced. "Olympia," the films version of "Whitewater," is threatening to make waves in the new President's (Aykroyd) lake. A plan is hatched to pin "Olympia" on President Kramer, even though he knows nothing about it. An informant is killed along the way, and Kramer and Douglas are on the run from a burning helicopter, Secret Security officers, tourists and a Gay Pride Parade. As they flee by foot, train, and car the completely expected happens. They encounter funny run-ins with every kind of folk imaginable from small town hicks to homosexuals on parade, spewing out funny one-liners and sight gags along the way. If you thought Grumpy Old Men or The Odd Couple were funny, this won't disappoint" DVD Verdict, as my sourceExcellent film as well. |

A MILLION TIMES YES!!!! i finally dont feel like im the only one whos heard of it....*actually me and Svengoolie had a mini convo about it and he likes it too* i always felt it would have been great if they made two more of these with the same cast as i thought they all worked very very well together. plus turtorro's groucho type character was fantastic. sadly a very very forgotten film that bombed but made a profit, as i remember reading someplace they only spent like 7 mil to make it and the movie made 11 mil. sadly only format i have this is in is on VHS as the circus video that used to be by my house was closing so i bought both copies of it. very great and very funny movie. Love it. |

Love it. That was the name of that movie!!! This one gets a vote from me now too. I used to watch it all the time when I was younger and it would come on HBO on saturdays. I loved this movie. |

Continuing the Trey Parker love, Cannibal: The Musical Yeah, as much as I love Baseketball and Orgazmo, I gotta say Cannibal The Musical is my favorite Trey and Matt movie. Anyway, to add a couple to the list: Hot Rod - It's probably getting more recognized due to the popularity of The Lonely Island. You can count me as one of the people who wrote it off in its theatrical run, thinking it was gonna be another "SNL" movie. Boy was I wrong. Let's Go To Prison - Pretty funny but I think it could've been funnier considering you had 3 guys from The State writing it and Bob Odenkirk from Mr. Show directing. |

Easily Death To Smoochy and Bowfinger, and I'd also like to add Can't Stop The Music (with the Village People), for unintended reasons.

I didn't much care for the title, (I know - weird thing to nitpick about) but I thought The Brothers Soloman was pretty funny. Of course, I'm kind of a mark for Will Arnett, but still.....
