Eurotrip (2004)

Comedy Rated R

As you would expect from a sequel of sorts to the frat-house comedy Road Trip, Eurotrip runs on crude humor, sex gags and a “Girls Gone Wild” level of nudity. Yet it’s all elevated by a penchant for inspired lunacy. As four high school friends meander from London to Rome – leaving no Continental stereotype

National Lampoon’s Pucked (2006)

Comedy Rated R

This Z-grade comedy centers on an aging slacker who sits around dreaming up doomed ideas. The movie could be one of them. Consider the producers’ decision to cast Jon Bon Jovi in the lead role. The rock star has held his own in dramatic parts (U-571), but he looks dazed in a comedy. Not that

Hot Fuzz (2007)

Comedy Rated R

“…such a dead-on parody of the Michael Bay school of loud, senseless and bombastic action cinema that it gave me an authentic Bad Boys headache.

State and Main (2000)

Comedy Rated R

Writer-director David Mamet’s satire – in which a film crew converges on a small New England town – thinks it’s taking a big bite out of Hollywood, but even a talented cast (Philip Seymour Hoffman, William H. Macy, Alec Baldwin, Sarah Jessica Parker) can’t disguise the fact that most of the jokes are obvious nibbles.

Monster-in-Law (2005)

Comedy Rated PG-13

It takes awhile for Monster-in-Law to bare its teeth, but once the movie does, everything on screen begins to click. As the harridan future in-law, Jane Fonda embraces the over-the-top, blackly comic tone from the start, and once Jennifer Lopez, as the tormented bride-to-be, joins in, she proves surprisingly light on her feet. With invaluable

Calendar Girls (2003)

Comedy Rated PG-13

Why should the guys in The Full Monty have all the fun? Calendar Girls, based on a true story, features middle-aged members of one of Britain’s staid Women’s Institute groups who decide to pose without clothes for their annual calendar, shocking their rural town and unexpectedly become the sensation of the nation. Sure, it’s charming,

Ladies Man, The (2000)

Comedy Rated R

This is a big-screen version of the “Saturday Night Live” sketch starring Tim Meadows. Really, what else do you need to know?

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters (2007)

Comedy Rated R

“…conjures up the surreal adolescent daydreams of stuffy high-school classrooms. You might as well be watching the doodling in some kid’s otherwise unused notebook come to life.

Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003)

Comedy Rated PG-13

Watching Eric Christian Olsen and Derek Richardson mimic original stars Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels in this extraneous prequel is akin to movie karaoke. It’s entertaining, inasmuch as it’s entertaining to listen to some hack in a bar butcher Frank Sinatra. Actually, considering the first film was one of the slighter comedies from Peter and

Bringing Down the House (2003)

Comedy Rated PG-13

This disappointing disaster spins endless jokes out of the assumptions that Wasps are stiff and uptight and blacks are loud and loose. Steve Martin plays Peter Sanderson, a Beverly Hills lawyer who gets mixed up with an ex-con named Charlene (Queen Latifah). The movie intends to unite black and white audiences, and it probably does
