The Hot Chick. OMG, what a stupid, lame ass movie. There are absolutely NO redeeming features...but it ALWAYS makes me laugh :)

Comedy is such a strange beast. We all like certain stupid movies that we think are funny that no one else on the planet seems to like. I can't even figure out why I can hate certain stupid movies and love others.

One that I'm obviously in the minority on now is Neighbors. I watched it last night and thought it was funny. I then went over to IMDB and read the user reviews. I have not seen so many 1 star reviews and hatred for a movie since Showgirls ;-D. What is very odd about Neighbors is that many of the major critics liked it, which is a real flip-flop from the norm for a lowbrow comedy.

The Heartbreak Kid with Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz is one I love that everyone hates. Ben can make mean spirited comedy (which Heartbreak Kid is) and I think that turns many off but I often find Ben hilarious.
