An American Carol (2008)
Hysterical, more now than ever
People seem to have slammed this movie for not toeing the standard PC line - but that's why you watch Zucker.
The only lightly veiled smacking of Michael Moore, mixed with a nice reminder that despite our warts we are the best thing going right now is more timely in 2022 than ever.
Lots of gags. You won't be disappointed.
The Cleaner (2021)
We really enjoy this show.
It's not the epitome of comedy, but it doesn't have to be. It's television. Sit back, let it entertain you and have a laugh. If you turn your nose up at beer and ordinary people you probably won't like it. For the other 99%, it works.
Llamageddon (2015)
So bad it's hysterical
The wife and I laughed and laughed. The cast can't act, the story is ludicrous and the effects look like they are done with crayons - but if you expect it to be horrible you will laugh through the whole thing. Clearly a movie made by low budget college kids for ... well ... no one.
Sudsy Slim Rides Again (2018)
The more you watch the funnier it gets
This is a cute little movie that, provided you set your expectations on 'silly comedy will completely deliver. The wife and I laughed long and hard. Long live the ABCD!
Wynonna Earp (2016)
Great 2 seasons, then it jumps the shark.
This was a fun crazy ride for the first 2 seasons. Every episode was enjoyable. I'm in season 3 now, and both the wife and I are struggling to keep watching. They had a great formula, and decided to just up-end it with, seemingly, no concern for the viewer. Season 4 will be a 'if nothing better is on'.
5 Headed Shark Attack (2017)
Its what you expect, but still entertaining.
Look, it's a stupid premise and clearly just a cash grab. But, the scenery is great and there are plenty of laughs at stupid.
I don't know why anyone would rate this poorly. It's not serious cinema, it's a stupid movie to get a few chuckles over and in that arena it shines. Ranking it as if it's a sequel to Gone With The Wind is just being pompous.
Grab some popcorn, watch for the B grade CGI and have a few laughs with the significant other.
Bridget & Eamon (2016)
This is NOT American comedy
If you are looking for insipid laugh-tracked New York style comedy, keep turning the dial.
If you want an amazing poke at ridiculous Irish comedy, have an Ace bandage at the ready for the stitch you will get from laughing and have a sense of humor you will love this show.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000)
The Lawrence Fishburne show from Season 9
I -love- this show, right up until Season 9. Then it goes into the toilet.
Without detailing why (to avoid spoilers) a new character enters the show as a CSI 1. Exceptional actor Lawrence Fishburne.
Now this should be good, except from his first episode this became HIS show. He does it all. Coroner, cop, detective, investigator etc.
He has more screen time than every other actor, combined, in every episode from then on.
His addition to the show is a bit contrived, but they spin a story offering a reasonable explanation. He just takes over. Completely.
I miss the other characters. They are no longer more than bit players.
Great show. Somebody negotiated a weak contract for the viewer and tossed the show in the bin.
I really hate being so negative, just set your expectations to enjoy half of the series, then plan to binge something else.
