Pineapple Express is my addition. A little off topic herebut anybody else think the Hangover isn't as funny as everybody says? I only laughed about 8 times...
I actually thought Superbad, I Love You Man, and that whole new trend of comedies is just boring. They seem to confuse "humor" with "awkwardness"...they aren't interchangeable. Hangover was great though, and Tropic Thunder had it's moments (Tom Cruise anyone?). Pineapple express was also pretty funny, in a stoner type of way. Harold and Kumar (both of them) are entertaining, in a "WTF is happening here!?" type of way.
[QUOTE="LoG-Sacrament"]well "dude, wheres my car?" is the same premise, so you may like that. II_Seraphim_II
Dont mention that idiotic excuse for a movie! :evil: it should be against the ToS to even think about mentioning it :x sure, it was a bad movie. but then again, it is the same premise as the hangover. so id think there would be some overlap in the fanbases.

The thing is that "Dude, Where's My Car?" was so air headed that you got bored insanely quick. It was like talking to the stereotypical blonde bimbo. On the other hand, the Hangover is put together a lot better. The jokes are actually pretty funny, the situations are hilarious, the acting is superb, and while utterly ridiculous and far out, it never delves into pure idiocy like "Dude, Where's My Car?"

To be honest there aren't many good comedies nowadays. Wedding Crashers was pretty funny, but too long. Hangover was pretty good good, the other Wilson, Vaughn, Ferrel comedies are a beat weak though, especially Will Ferrels sports comedies, and the comedies that have someone's name in them (Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Anchorman type stuff). And then comes the new breed of comedies like "I Love You Man" which actually aren't funny at all, they are just awkward. For some reason directors thing awkward = funny. And as for Ben Stiller in Tropic thunder, the only truly LOL moments were the Tom Cruise scenes...he rocked that movie in so many ways. Were it not for Tom Cruise, that movie would have been mediocre. To be honest, in the past 5 or so years, Hangover is probably the best comedy to come out.
Tropic Thunder was reasonably funny, but I probably wouldn't buy it. If you're looking for some stoner comedy, skip Pineapple Express and go for the Harold and Kumar movies. If you're in the market for a romantic comedy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is excellent. I Love You, Man was great too-maybe my favorite comedy of 2009.

Wow, I can't even begin to describe how wrong I think you are, but hey, they're opinions and everyone is entitled to a wrong one. :P
Only part I loved from I Love You Man was "SLAPPA DA BAESS!"That was one of the worst comedy movies I've seen in recent times. So horrible. I hate that actor that was the main character. His stupidity annoys the crap out of me!
Lmfao. The whole movie I was like this ":| :evil: :cry:"
