My Favorite Comedies

Another great comedy by Kevin Smith.

Wow, what a great modern example of dark comedy movies. Plus it's one of the few movies that I didn't predict the ending whilst watching it the first time. Great stuff.

Easily one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Fucking genius, plain and simple.

Absolutely hilarious if you have been or are currently employed at a restaurant. If not, then it's just a mediocre, goofy movie at best.

My reaction before I even saw it:
"Claire Forlani...in a Kevin Smith film? This will be one of the greatest experiences in my life."

After watching it:

"Eh, not bad. Claire should have gotten naked, though."

Ben Stiller actually was pretty funny back in the day.

What really amazes me about this movie these days, though, is the amazing performance of Eddie Izzard as a fairly important villain.

Also, as with all movies I see that have the lovely Claire Forlani in them, I must note that I would love to get between her legs and...I don't think any of us really want me to continue.

Amazing film, amazing book. A perfect piece describing the changes in the culture from the 60s to the 70s and in the end, a sharp commentary on "The American Dream".

My opinion is best summarized by my conversation with myself during my first viewing.

"Oh wow, almost everyone is speaking with a Cockney accent. That's fucking awesome. Man, this might even help me perfect my own Cockney accent!"
(A while later)
"Holy shit!! Even the characters that don't have that wonderful Cockney accent still have an interesting accent! With this movie I can work on ALL KINDS of accents! This is a wonderful day."

Great social satire underneath all the action movie stuff.
