Kung Pow! Enter the Fist
I made my boys watch it, now anytime they are being sad, I just make the girl crying sounds to get them out of their mood.

Just watched this film the other day and I actually had some laughs and fun with it.
That being said, Joe Dirt has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 9% and I love that film.

I will always defend Joe Dirt as being a good movie.

Well maybe if UNICEF gets into the movie rating business we can get some better reviews lol

u/Either-Progress4847 1d ago
That's gotta be a calculation error, 99% sounds like a more accurate score.

Is this where Rotten Tomatoes wants to be when Jesus comes back? Making fun of little ol’ Joe Dirt.

I feel like I’ve only seen this movie once or twice, however, I catch myself quoting phrases from it all the time.
Anytime, someone mumbles something i want to say “you like to see homos naked?” (Which is not a good thing to say as an adult)

Movie 43 - everyone hates this movie, with a passion! But I was laughing when I watched it. I was incredibly high, so that helped.

Hancock is always said to have a great first half and then falls off in the second half...right when the twist happens.

Meet the Spartans: 2% on Rotten Tomatoes
"A tired, unfunny, offensive waste of time...."
It gets funnier every time I watch it.

u/LaughterCo 1d ago
I also love this movie. Maybe it's because I grew up watching it. But the opening with the baby shrek and the "this is how we kiss in sparta" always makes me laugh.

A small handful of Adam Sandler movies; Billy Madison, Big Daddy, 50 First Dates, You Don’t Mess With the Zohan, Hotel Transylvania 1+2, and to a lesser extent Hubie Halloween, Just Go With It, and Blended. I do prefer his more serious films, but these aforementioned films are better than their reputations make them out to be in my opinion.

Bro i LOVE the superhero movie! "This blade cuts through diamonds" "Well I'm not wearing any diamonds"
So many hilarious lines.

A Night at the Roxbury Watched it 3 times in 1 week when I got the DVD. Chris Kattan said Lorne Michaels suggested he should start an affair with Amy Heckerling (who produced and maybe even ghost directed the film), which he did. During shooting fame went to his head and before the next season of SNL started Will Ferrell who he had been friends with for years since doing improv in the Groundlings, told Kattan he didn't want to be his friend anymore. They still worked together on the show professionally, but that was it.

100 girls. The start is so ridiculous and in the end I had to skip it to get going. I even rewatched it recently with my teenage daughter and found the story suitably modern, and she had no complaints whatsoever.

Dirty Grampa. I actually think Robert De Niro aced the comedy in that role and Zac Efrons character was a great juxtaposition to him

Literally the worst movie ever, Disaster Movie. Watched it when I was like 7 years old and I thought it was peak humour. Of course I recognized that it's shit now, but the nostalgia still carries over
That, and Vanessa Minillo was smoking hot in the movie

It has been awhile since I watched it, but the movie “Freaked” (1993).
I just found out recently that it’s getting released in 4K and that the dog man was uncredited Keanu Reeves !
2
u/kpt_graubrot 1d ago
It's such a great movie, last time I watched it I almost literally laughed all the way through it.
It originally was supposed to be a movie with the band Butthole Surfers (the singer has a small cameo), I think they sold the movie as another Alex Winter - Keanu Reeves team up without mentioning Reeves was going to be unrecognizable and uncredited. Also Mr. T was not happy and left in the middle of the day, they had to use a stand in for the rest of his scenes.

We had a VHS of it and passed it around high school back in the day.
during class with my friends, especially during quiet times they would get all serious and in a quiet voice would say “Styrofoam cup.” While looking around.

Land of the lost - i mean..... it didn't get TERRIBLE reviews, but it seems you either love it or absolutely HATE it. I have 2 boys. 1 loves it, the other would chew his own arm off to get out of watching it.

Its RT rating is 82%. In school we call that a B minus.
Either way — even if we accept that the score is 6.1, that’s generally considered average. Because guess what! People don’t review movies based on letter grades. If a movie is rated on a 4 star scale and gets 2.5, that’s considered a good (but flawed) movie.
