I LOVE Death to Smoochy. Unashamedly. The movie is hysterical. It has a song called "My stepdad's not mad he's just adjusting." How can you not like that?



Yeah this is probably the comedy I really, really like, but everyone else really hates. I find it funny as frick, and one of the more fricked up films I've seen. And to think its about children's programing.

Saving Silverman...not well received on Rotten Tomatoes, but I loved it. Not sure how this board feels about it.

I'll go in a different direction here with a whole sub-genre that most guys hate (or at least claim to) but I tend to enjoy...the romantic comedy.

That's right. Hell, sometimes I don't even wait for the wife to ask, but will ask her to go see a rom-com with me.

Go ahead, bash away. I'm a man, I'm 40. I can take it.

I love "I Spy" with Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy.

and I'll add Mars Attacks just because I haven't seen it mentioned.

I thought Land of the Lost was pretty funny. That dude from Eastbound and Down owns me in everything though.

I don't know if a lot of people hate it, but not a lot of people have seen Dirty Work. Really underrated.

I love I mean LOVE, Year One. Feel the same for Nacho Libre. Two of my favorite comedies on recent memory. People typically hate both of those movies and Jack Black. Not this guy.
Add Napolean Dynamite Mystery Men and Envy to that list. Most of these movies listed are just underrated more than hated. Whotf hates Zoolander? Maybe a few people, it's definitely not widely hated like Year One and a few others mentioned.

You're one of the first people to list some movies I actually didn't like.

I laughed at Year One. It felt like it was soooo close with absolutely slaying with some of the jokes. I couldn't tell how or why they missed the mark on being great jokes.

I almost said this earlier, but couldn't understand why everyone didn't like it.

I thought Hot Fuzz was absolutely hilarious. Most people I talk to haven't heard of it or thought it was dumb.
