Heartbreak Hilarity

Advantages: Funny, can watch more than once,
Disadvantages: none

The Heartbreak Kid is a rom com film, with Ben Stiller at his finest. I'm always a fan of Ben Stiller films (he just has one of those faces) but, this is, in my opinion, one of his funniest. Ben Stiller plays Eddie, a 40 year old singleton. He attends the wedding of his ex (cue hilarious scenes and one liners) and realises that he would really like to settle down. The realisation seems to be thrust upon him at the wedding breakfast where he finds ...
...proves to be the kids table and there are various laughs when these kids question why he's sat there. He then meets, Lila (played by Malin Akerman) in the street, where he helps her after he believes that she has been mugged. In a whirlwind romance, he proposes to her, believing this to be the only way he can stop her from being posted abroad for her job. They get married and set off on their honeymoon to Mexico, where he realises he doesn't actually ...

Stupid, Dirty and Funny. American Pie bete house, comedy staring Christopher Mcdonald, Eugene Levy and john white. Directed by Andrew Waller. American pie was released in 2007. after all the other american pies, i didnt think the films would get better, but i was proved wrong. No matter how dirty the film got i could always see the funny side of it. at the moment you can buy the dvd from amazon.co.uk for £3.95, i think in the shops it is more ...

The Pub Landlord Live At The Palladium review

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: May be offensive to some people (can't think who though)

Al Murray is an enigma to me. I have a very modern sense of humour and so bar a few things anything before the 1980's seem kinda flat. Especially the kind of comedians Al Murray is reminiscent of. You know the type, racist, sexist, homophobic and cliched jokes about mother in laws and how England beat Germany in the 1966 world cup, I would rather eat sand than watch anything of that sort. And yet I love Al Murray, I think he's hilarious! I think ...
...a more in-depth look at Al and his comedy routine. I have heard people saying how British people have lost their identity, personally I don't see it myself, but maybe that's why some people like him? Because there's something very cheeky and charming about him that's why we let him get away with it. I don't know, all I know is Al Murray is one of the best British comedians around today and if you haven't seen any of his stuff I recommend you do! ...

The wedding of the year 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding'

Advantages: Fun, nice story
Disadvantages: Predictable

I first watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding a few years ago and although it hasn't become one of my favourite films, I do still watch it from time to time. The film first came out in 2002 so has been around for quite a while now. The story of the film is based around a character called Toula Portokalos (Christina Eleusiniotis). Toula is from a greek family, who take the traditions of their culture very seriously. Her family own a resteraunt called 'Dancing ...
...her thirties and yet has never really done anything with her life. She is plain and no-one really notices her as she goes around her everyday life. One day Toula decides to do something about her life and signs up to a college course. It isn't easy for her to persuade her Father Gus (Michael Constantine), but her Mother Maria (Lainie Kazan) manages to help her. Once she has started the course she starts to feel more confident in herself and decides ...

Offender of the Universe

Advantages: sick slick rapid succession of one line jokes
Disadvantages: turns the air blue, plenty of bad language, not for the easily offended

Jimmy Carr is the Marmite of Comedy, you either love him or hate him, there’s not really much in between. On the UK comedy scene for the past 10 years, he has become more and more known over the past few years, in particular as host of comedy quiz ‘8 out of 10 cats’ and voice of many a Channel 4 ‘Top 100 shows’. Carr himself was voted number 12 in the ‘Top 100 Comedians’. Personally I love Jimmy Carr. Then again, I love a lot of the modern comedians, ...
...over the past decade. Jimmy Carr Telling Jokes is his latest DVD release. There are four previous releases of his stage show, all recorded at the Bloomsbury Theatre in London over time from 2005 until this year. One of Jimmy Carr’s previous DVDs opens with a warning: “This show is not for the easily offended, this is not even for those difficult to offend, this show is for people without moral compass.” Not only is this true for the DVD is was on, ...
