Re: Grandma's Boy...a little gem
Can you name a movie made in the last 10 years that was completely original?

Drive monkey, drive! Now that's freaking original. |
Re: Grandma's Boy...a little gem
love it or hate it but I thought Anchorman was pretty original too :lol:
|
Re: Grandma's Boy...a little gem
Anchorman, with the exception of Christina Applegate, was pretty funny. Sort of that strange, offbeat humour of a movie like Office Space. On a side note, in the alley fight scene, there is a guy with a baseball bat and no hair. That is Jake Jake The Phone Snake, from the Johnny Dare Morning Show in Kansas City. He answers the phones and books the guests.

The real issues with it had to do with jarring style changes, slow plotting, cliches (more the human -> alien aspect than anything), dull characters and it essentially becomes a non-interactive videogame in the final stretch.

I thought this was a Grandma's Boy thread
|
Re: Grandma's Boy...a little gem
I'm the movie guy in my family so when someone suggests a flick I've usually seen it or don't waste my time with their suggestion.(yes, a movie snob) My little 'ole Aunt Loretta suggests that I would love Grandma's Boy and lo and behold it's on SHowtime the next night. That movie hit the spot. Very entertaining...loved it. Now I ask my Aunt if she's seen any good flicks lately.

Re: Grandma's Boy appreciation thread
Never heard of this movie before and I happened to catch it on cable a few weeks back as I suprised it came out 10 years ago. I was wondering how it did at the box office and it looked like it bombed in 2006, but judging by this thread it looks like it developed a cult following a few years later.
I honestly didn't find the movie funny at all, but then again I've never been a fan of Adam Sandler's humor (except for Happy Gilmore as that had some very funny parts). |
Re: Grandma's Boy appreciation thread
This is a classic and it works, because Adam Sandler isn't even in the fucking film.
"Shit's weak!" |
Re: Grandma's Boy appreciation thread
A lot of good moments in that movie.

Re: Grandma's Boy appreciation thread
Its a solid and pretty damn funny movie. Nice to see X-Box style games on display.
