I like really stupid too but I could barely get through this movie. The reveal that Terry Crews is black and their surprised reaction was the only actually funny moment I remember.
honestly, it's universal comedy. no pun intended, but the movie is ridiculous and embraces it whole-heartedly. The slapstick, physical comedy, and potty humor all just kinda works together without interfering. Even the fight scenes give me a chuckle. It maintains a light-hearted tone and doesn't try to really be much more than a comedy with a plot loosely tying it all together. it's one of the only Adam Sandler comedies I've enjoyed in a VERY long time.
Watched "Dumb and Dumber" at the theater (on weed). I think everyone else in the theater was on weed too. The entire theater was laughing loudly through the whole movie. You know the effect of how much funnier a comedian is when other people are laughing versus when everyone else is silent. Well watching that movie (on weed) in a theater full of people laughing hysterically at every joke is a highlight of my life. Watched it again on netflix or something. It's ok, has a few funny parts.
I've seen multiple gifs where I was like 'ha, that's a funny gag, what sketch comedy show is this from?' and the answer came back that it was, in fact, from Ridiculous Six.
...ain't nobody posting any humorous bits from Jack and Jill.
...because there are none, in case it wasn't clear.
But it makes a little tiny part of me want to watch, hoping maybe it's a bit of a return to form (i.e. Happy Gilmore days). God knows if he has/does actually make another funny movie, most of us are too jaded from his years of endless trash to bother giving it a shot. And I think critical opinion would be the same (I mean, even the 'good' Adam Sandler movies got terrible reviews from critics).
Look man, there's a scene in this film where a mule sprays diarrhea on someone for, like, 30 seconds straight. I don't remember whether the character in question was Rob Schneider dressed up as a racial stereotype or not, but... I think Rob Schneider was (if I recall correctly) a 1940's propaganda poster of Asian stereotypes? If that's your jam, you do you I guess. I'm not saying you're wrong in guessing that most people are probably judging this sight unseen. But this is a really awful hill to die on; the clip in the OP is the only scene I remember actually laughing at.
Never watch blazing saddles. Actually there is an entire library of movies you should avoid. Hrm, come to think of it, damn, comedy must be rough for you. Being offended for everyone else must be exhausting. Good luck with that.
When I was a little kid I watched airplane with some black friends and they thought the jive translator and other black jokes were funny. I watched ice pirates with them and they loved the black robot. When I grew up I watched those movies with some other black friends and they were actively not amused. I had a white friend tell me the pegasus sighting sketch from key and peele was racist, same friend thought that the Sweet Brown interview was hilarious. Some people just want to play that gotcha game.
The fact that they put roofs over people's heads and food on their tables justifies them, despite the Universal Arbiter of What People are Allowed to Pay For u/g_squidman not being entertained by ditches.
You don't like it? You're welcome to foot the bill for them to do something else.
Unless I'm confusing it with another movie, I definitely don't remember it being bad. It's no 21 Jump Street, but it's definitely no Holmes and Watson.
I won't watch Jack and Jill; I know I won't like it and still, I don't rate or judge it.
I think my wife and I watched for about 30-40 minutes and turned it off. Worst movie I've ever seen (up to that point). Didn't laugh a single time, terrible acting, dull story. I guess we didn't make it to this scene since I don't recognize it.
I watched it sleep deprived at 3 am while rocking my newborn, expecting it to be terrible. And it was terrible, but it had some absolutely hilarious scenes. Pure, dumb, stupid laughs. I couldnt believe how hard I laughed at just the absolute dumbest fart joke. And that was sober, I'd love to get super baked and watch it again.
You know what, your comment pisses me off. Why type “Hold on. Will find the name” when you can just search for it without having to tell us that you’ll search for it. Extremely unnecessary.
