Comedy > Exempt Comedy

PARTY TIME, EXCELLENT

Advantages: just a good film
Disadvantages: none

I know this is an ancient film, but while looking through Sky Anytime, the tv on demand kind of thing on Sky+ and Sky HD boxes I saw they had this. I have watched this film loads of times years ago, and thought it was funny then, but would it be any good now - 17 years after it was made? This film is a comedy and mostly features the 2 main characters.Mike Myers plays Wayne Campbell, and Dana Carvey plays his best friend, Garth Algar. It also features ...
...The film is pretty funny and it kind of looks like a reality tv show, as Wayne and Garth keep talking to the camera. The storyline is that "Wayne's World" is a popular underground cable access TV show which is done in Wayne's basement by him, Garth and a couple of their rock friends. The show doesn't seem to last long, about three minutes, A businessman attempts, and succeeds to purchase Wayne's World to promote Noah's Arcade, a chain of game arcades ...

Max and Paddy's Power of two workout

Advantages: Funny in parts
Disadvantages: Rubbish workout

...comedy. Were big fans of max and paddy and most things peter kay has done but not this. In its defence there are a couple of funny moments but these are few and far between, and if your using this as a workout dvd the jokes will not be funny at all the 2nd time round. My advise is to stay away from this one. ...

Man o Man

Advantages: Witty, fast paced, classic
Disadvantages: A little cliched

...a list of 'oldies' on my DVD rental club and will admit that I only rented it because my man is called Godfrey! I popped onto Google to find out a little more to find that it has a list of recommendations including six academy award nominations and, being a skeptic, I think that it would have won a few if it wasn't subjected to the bias of the Academy against comedies! The action opens delving straight into the unfamiliar world of 1930s New York ...
...while a band of 'Forgotten Men' live on the city dumps. The spoiled daughter of a millionaire, Cornelia Bullock, is trying to convince one of the forgotten men to return into the city with her as one of the 'objects' on a scavanger hunt. She fails to convince the eloquent down-and-out Godfrey (William Powell) to return with her. Purely to spite Cornelia for her arrogance, Godfrey returns to the scavanger hunt but as an object scavanged by Cornelia's ...

The Wedding Date To Remember.

Advantages: The chemistry between the charecters comes across very well.
Disadvantages: Quite predictable.

The Wedding Date is a brilliant romantic comedy about Kat Ellis who travels home from New York to London for her sister Amys wedding. Kat decides she cant face going to the wedding alone and with her ex fiance being there it gives her an addded reason to take a partner. The film starts with a very worried overly anxious Kat trying to get hold of her date who is a very desirable male escort Nick. They finally meet on the plane to London to begin ...
...while joining in with all the events Amy and Ed have planned for the wedding party. Kat has a turbulet ride in London with loads of ups and downs where she eventually finds herself and figures out what is the best path for her to take her life down. I would class this film as a romantic comedy as there is romance in the air at every turn with quite a few smoldering moments between different charecters, although it wasn’t absolutely hillarious there ...

How I Met Your Mother - The New Friends....but better.

Advantages: Great Characters With Great Acting, Funny, Addictive, Great Concepts
Disadvantages: Can be confusing for new watchers

How I Met Your Mother has been one of my favourite American Sitcoms since I got a glimpse of it back in 2007 when BBC 2 showed the first season and I have secretly been longing for the past 2 years, hoping that BBC will show it again someday. Thankfully my secret prays have been answered by E4, which makes sense since they are the ones famous for bringing the British public Friends, Ugly Betty, Samantha Who and the other American sitcoms. I have ...
...How I Met Your Mother has had, I have never come home looking forward to a show as much as I have in the recent months, even epic shows like Lost or Heroes failed to grip me as much as How I Met Your Mother has, and I am glad because it brings a little ray of sunshine into my usually miserable day. What’s It About The show usually begins with a man who we never see in the stated year of 2030, who is telling his 2 teenage kids stories about ...
