Roger Ebert talked specifically about what you're talking about Andrew. Do I consider Cheech and Chong's Next Movie in the same context of good/bad I consider Casablanca? Do I consider Star Wars in the same way I consider Lawrence of Arabia? No, of course not. When I considered H&K, I considered it against crazy R comedies like Animal House, American Pie, or (once again) Cheech and Chong's Next Movie. And in that context, in judging it as that sort of movie, it still was a really really bad movie to me. You also can't say something is great because it's better than the absolute bottom of the barrel. If you do that, almost everything is good. That's no way to decide on something's quality.

But, Stephanie said it completely right by saying that everyone thinks different things are funny. What's important is, if you found it funny, what else is there to say? Humor is the most subjective thing there is.

Well, Cyrus, if you compare it to stuff like There Will Be Blood or American Gangster or other good movies to come out lately, of course its bad, but when I saw it, I was comparing it to some of the more recent comedy flicks and how we have had like, 3 decent ones in the past 10 years. This is definitely better than some of the tripe that's come out lately, like Drillbit Taylor and Superhero Movie. I mean, I actually laughed like, 10 times or so.

Granted, no, its not a good movie, but it depends on what you compare it to on whether or not you enjoy it.

I really liked the flim and it made me laugh. I saw forgetting sarah marshall and it was a solid flim, but not as funny as superbad or 40 year old virgin, in my opinion. Everyone thinks different things are funny and I really enjoyed laughing for a hour and a half.

this is weird, i rarely rarely disagree with you guys. I was surprised you guys didnt like it. Oh well, to each his own.

No, it really isn't. Sorry. As we said in the review, we knew people would disagree. This movie sucks ballz and I'm pretty sure the Crew (as it were) are unanimous on that. Which, of course, isn't to say that we're right, just that we are all on the same page.
