This movie was flat out hularious.

There was a time in the movie where I thought I was going to throw-up because I was laughing so hard. This is a great comedy with a ton of talent that lives up to the billing.

I would suggest going to see this ASAP if you are in ANY WAY a fan of comedy movies. This is one of the few that doesn’t show all the funny parts in the trailer.

Enjoy!

i just got back from seeing it. it was UNBELIEVABLE.

what makes this movie so great is that well over 2/3rds of it is improve - made up as they went. that’s why almost half of the clips you see in trailor/previews aren’t even in the movie.

i read that they had to cut over 3 hours of the movie just because it’s all improve. can you wait for the DVD? i can’t.

I think this DVD is going to have the best ever “deleted scenes” section ever!

“I thought you said this was a shortcut…”

“Faaaaaantastic!”

I almost piss my pants whenever I hear that in my head 🙂

I want to see it bad! I’ll probably see it this week or next (on vacation - yay!)

But from the reviews Ive heard, it seems like your typical comedy - fluffy stroy with a lot of one liners and things which only people who like these kinds of movies would really like. … Im one of those people so it sounds a-ok!

There are some AMAZING one liners. The while movie just seems like a very cheesy 70’s show and it’s awesome!

This movie was soo funny. Did you also notice that he is always wearing burgundy in most of the scenes.

I also loved it when jack black drop kicked Ron’s dog off the bridge.[/font] [/font]

This movie was a load of total crap. Like seriously I only laughed a couple times, especially when jack kicked the dog, I was the only person laughing at that part, looked like an idiot! But otherwise, they **really** brought that Brick’s guys jokes way too far. It just got really stupid, so all in all, the movie was a totaly waste of money.

hahahahaha

it’s so funny how so many people can have such different opinions. I mean for grinch to find it so hideous and me and a few others to find it so funny is a great example. I am sorry you didn’t like the movie grinch - you must have a very different sence of humour than me. I have to be honest though, I find A LOT of movies funny, even ones most people dont like. (ex. Zoolander)

Oh well, to each his/her own I guess.

p.s. The theatre I was at were rolling out of their seats with the dog punt incident. I think your area is either full of peta members, or they just don’t like a good dog punt. 😉

Well you see,  
the really odd thing is, is that I loved dodgeball, and I loved Zoolander. Aw I can remember the days of me reapeting those hilarious lines, " I was the fat kid in 7th grade… Ew"  
But I guess this movie was different from many. I usually like these ridiculous funny movies with Will, or Ben. But this one just wasn’t that funny. I mean ofcourse I can’t say there weren’t any funny parts, but most of them were just lame. But hey, a great one was when he was talking to his dog, and yells, I don’t speak spanish!

Somethings I didn’t like were when the dog was talking, and they put these semi-intelligent phrases by him, and these grizzly bears. The fight between the news crew’s was pretty funny, but until they brought in like “30” different crews. It got old.

//ROFL - I think your right, many of the members in the theater just were to mature? I mean heck, i laughed a lot, really I was the only person laughing so hard! I guess it depends on your setting, ex. was when I went to see Shrek2, we had the WHOLE theater laughing so hard, which made the enviorment 3 times as funny.
