I love a Good Chuckle but that being said I typically don’t enjoy the slap stick comedy movies. I am not a huge fan of Jim Carey or Will Farrel just to name a few. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy some of their movies but they have to have a decent plot. For example, Jim Carey’s “Liar,Liar” that is probably my favorite movie of his. Now, there is no explaining ME because I may not GO those slapstick comedies but I am the first to laugh at someone when they fall (once I know they are fine) and I love America’s Funniest Home Video’s! I will go on Youtube when I need a pick my up and look at funny videos!
And Then I will come across a little gem like this…….
Or sometimes I pop in a movie and giggle away. Many evenings My husband and I had Movie Date Night at home. Especially, when our children were still home. They were out and about but we liked to stay home and be accessible. Sometimes we went to dinner and then came home and watched a movie or we just grabbed takeout and popped in a movie. Therefore, we tended to see movies WAY after they were HOT!! Sometimes this was a good thing because we were able to wait and see movies that were given two thumbs up by most people!! Which translated into us seeing more GOOD movies compared to sitting through duds! Although, I will never forget the night of us trying to sit through Mulholland Drive. If anyone has seen that movie and can explain it, I beg of you to email me or leave it in the comments, we were BAFFLED. I thought my husband was going to kill me for picking that movie BUT I assured him that it was Hailed by all the critics and even the movie goers were claiming it was good. Really,if you check it out it gets like 4 stars! HELP US OUT if you get it!! Because we were totally lost!!
Now, a movie we saw for the first time as a Date Night in our living room was, 40 Year Old Virgin! It was a compromise movie. My husband wanted to see it and he said, “I know it isn’t your type of movie but I hear it is pretty good,would you mind giving it a try?” Plus he has perfect timing, I mean right after the dud of “Mullholland Drive” and “40 Year Old Virgin” was a newer movie, it was like a ‘just released’ type of deal, something we didn’t do often, so I was, like ‘OK’ go for it!
The movie is SOOO wrong and YET I laughed SOOOO hard that night. Once again, one of those things you cannot possibly explain about yourself. Something you would normally never think would tickle your fancy and part of you knows shouldn’t be tickling your fancy and yet I couldn’t stop laughing. I was laughing at some really inappropriate stuff! Anyway, the Most important thing to note, well for me, I was so glad I watched it with MY HUSBAND and AT HOME. There is this scene (Let’s Get Some French Toast or Drunk Car Scene) that is WRONG and YET so funny. Steve Carrell (he plays the 40 year old Virgin) gets in a car with a young lady (Leslie Mann) who has had too much to drink (I told you WRONG, so WRONG) and her driving is inappropriate but Steve is great and Leslie Mann (the actress) does a wonderful job playing it just right, ridiculously wrong but right. You have to see the scene. ANYWAY it is one of those scenes that I just could not stop laughing and I was laughing so hard I fell off the sofa, hit my head on the coffee table and WET MY PANTS. Needless to say we had to stop the movie because then my husband was laughing uncontrollably, I had to change and then we were able to enjoy the rest of the movie.
A movie night we have never forgotten and not for the best of reasons, if you get my drift LOL
Do tell when you become the funny? Or please explain Mullholland Drive if you can? Or, do have a movie that you like but you just don’t know why? It typically is not a movie that would float your boat?
