Category 7 -- Laugh out loud funny!
14 November 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Category 7 -- The End of the World is one of the best comedies I have seen in quite some time. I had to rewind my TiVo several times to view the hilarity again and again. After I dried my tears, I was left wondering if it was CBS's intention to make people laugh. Some of the scenes were outrageously far-fetched and completely defied the laws of physics. Scenes with cinder blocks breaking over people's heads, people instinctively knowing where to find loved ones without being given information or directions, and tornadoes selectively picking people out of buildings to suck them off into space was almost like watching a Three Stooges episode. Scenes were also disjointed and made no sense. For instance, Randy Quaid's character was in traction in the beginning of the movie, with screws in his skull, a broken neck, two broken legs, and various other broken bones. He then receives a phone call while he is in this hospital saying he is needed to chase storms immediately. The next scene, Quaid has one crutch but is otherwise completely healed. The next scene, he is running from a tornado. And FEMA saving the day? That is a joke unto itself!
