Not very funny
posted on 09 Jun 2007This movie is along the lines of Kentucky Fried Movie. It's a series of comedy sketches.The writing is simply not funny.For example, there was a segment involving etiquette in the bedroom. Now that was a potentially funny concept. But they failed completely to come up with anything original or even funny.Another sketch was about encouraging black athletes to "associate with" black women as black athletes skills were supposedly going down by having children with white women.The movie is filled with unfunny stereotypical driven humor. Now they seem to be going out of their way to attempt to make fun of stereotypes in many segments, such as a segment about a gay mafia. And fail.This movie is an unfunny as the last unfunny comedy I saw, Epic movie.Comedy is hard to do. It's very easy to fail to be funny. And this movie easily manages to not be funny.The only segment that was kind of funny was the scene where the DVD was on trial and DVR was called as a witness.The quality of the actors seemed good in many cases, actually. So I blame the writing completely.Now, maybe some people under 20 under chemical influence might find this funny. But I would think they could find much funnier movies.
A largely laugh-free sketch 'comedy'
posted on 06 Feb 2008First of all if, by looking at the supposed plot to this movie, your mind immediately jumps to the memorable "Stay Tuned" starring the late great John Ritter, you'll be extremely disappointed in this film. It's not anything like that film. Yes two people get sucked into 'television land', but the similarities start & stop there. The two friends are merely an excuse to get into the TV. Instead this is Gary Hardwick's (Deliver us from Eva, the Brothers) lame attempt at a sketch comedy film (with too much emphasis on the former part of that equation and sadly not nearly enough laughs derived from the latter). I initially watched this just for Charlie Murphy (who was always funny on The Chapelle Show) and the fact that it was on Netflix instant viewing so I didn't have to go out of my way to see it. Well Murphy isn't close to being in top form here and his screen time is kind of sparse. And the majority of the skits fall flat on their faces. So much so if one were to just watch the skits that were funny you'd be able to 'see' the film in under 5 minutes.My Grade: D-
