Seeing the reviews (3% on RottenTomatoes.com) and lackluster box office of the latest abomination starring this unfunny jerk, could his movie career thankfully be headed down the drain where it belongs?

He is this generations's Andrew Dice Clay, we all know what happened to his film career.

I've never seen a comic take a bigger dive than Dane Cook. He's young, and may yet figure himself out.

Michael Corvin

You sure do throw around that term loosely in regards to Dane Cook... that term being "career."

Hiro11

He's actually not that young, he's in his mid-thirties. He's apparently been a "stand up" for almost 20 years...

His problem is he's not playing the funny man in his films. His "talent" is to be funny, yet he ignores it.

I did like him in Mr. Brooks though.

C-Mart

Personally I have liked his movies and I really like his stand-up. I'm hoping that he continues with what he's doing.

I liked his first stand up CD, then I realized he was a shitty comic who's all gimmick no wit

EdTheRipper

I agree. Box office success or not, I'm still enjoying the projects he's been doing.

What year do you graduate from high school?

Never liked his stand up. Haven't seen "Mr. Brooks" yet. Was in and out of the theater so I'm renting it when it comes out in October. Cook also has a supporting role in the new Robert Benton film with Greg Kinnear. He could pull of these type off rolls. And should stop with the low brow.

I was always a fan of his standup, but I think he could be picking better roles (with the exception of Mr. Brooks which I haven't seen). Although I did enjoy Waiting.

C-Mart

I don't really see why that would matter. I should be allowed to have and express my own opinion without being the target of ignorant stereotyping. Thank you.

FYI I graduated in 1995, and know many people who graduated before and after me that all enjoy Dane Cook.

Don't like the guy at all. I think his stand-up is mediocre. That said, some of my friends (30-somethings who are attorneys, computer nerds, sports agents) dig the guy.

Hopefully for his sake he has a blossoming film career. I just don't see it happening.

fumanstan

Don't care for his stand up from the small bits that i've heard, but he wasn't bad in Good Luck Chuck despite the reviews. I think he can pull off the actor stuff if he tried harder.

Draven

I haven't bothered with any of his movies but I enjoy his stand-up, so I don't really understand the hate.

Did he kill your dog or something?

mdc3000

not quick enough if you ask me.

FinkPish

I think a lot of the hate comes from overexposure. I think people who were late to the party or just not interested in the first place just got sick of hearing so much about him, so the bashing began. I liked him before his stand up wasn't shown over and over on Comedy Central and his routine wasn't being done over and over by idiot college kids. I still like his stuff, but for a while I was sick of hearing him. And I don't think these roles are the right kind of thing for him.

Something has to live before it can die.

Ghostface180

I saw Feast of Love (the Robert Benton movie with Greg Kinnear) last night and Dane Cook was definitely not in it. You might be thinking of Dan in Real Life with Steve Carell.

starseed1981

Mwahahahah.

Add me to the list that thought this guy was never, and never will be, funny.

cungar

Also a plethora of comedians he has stolen bits from hate his guts. He has an appeal to people who like snide, egotistical assholes.

JumpCutz

Dane Cook is just not funny to my ears.

I know this has been posted before, but I couldn't resist. This is dead on...

dick_grayson

he'll be around forever doing that crazy face, kicking in the air shit that wasn't funny when Robin Williams did it.

C-Mart

Again with the stereotyping! If he doesn't appeal to you then who are you to say who he does appeal to? You know it is possible to state your opinion without disparaging other people right? You should try it.

On a side note... who has he stolen material from? (not refuting your claim, just curious as this is the first I have heard of it)
