I’m one of those people that thought Wet Hot American Summer was in the same league as Anchorman. Great cast, great music, littered with one-liners, just irreverant enough. It did eventually come out from under the radar but back in the early 2000s it was a total dud most people hadn’t heard of
I always dissolve into laughter at the ‘going into town for supplies’ scene. It’s just perfect.
It’s always fun to get away from camp, even for an hour!
WHAS has an amazing cast. Hats off to whomever managed to get them all together.
Anchorman is good, but HWAS is even better and I didn’t see it till it showed up on netflix.
The HWAS spinoffs are just as good too!
For me it was Alice in Wonderland (2010). I really enjoyed the whole “I do six impossible things before breakfast” thing. I was also really drunk when I watched it.
Hey man like what you like. Most reviews are done by people who are WAAAAY to into cinema.
Speed Racer
The Ice Pirates is a damn fun movie. Very camp 80s sci-fi.
Second Bayformers movie here
apparently critics hated baseketball but thats one of the funniest movies of all time
It is! Critics’ sisters must be going out with Squeak.
Steve Perry!
dude i said no more Journey psyche outs
🎶 And I shoulda been goo-oone!🎶
Not only was it a good spoof, it had a point about the commercializations of sports.
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was my jam as a little girl… but it might just be because I ended up being bisexual and there’s a lot of beautiful and badass people in it.
Fun movie! Idk if I ever bought the DVD but I would always watch it when it was on TV.
It has a lot going for it, and a really great setting/foundation for a thing.
I gotta read those comics sometime.
Have you ever read the comics? Quick read, and vol 2 is a straight up banger.
Huh. I enjoyed The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen myself, but never really thought to look up the reviews. I never had any idea that movies was so disliked by reviewers. I suppose I’ve found the movie I liked but everyone else seems to think is terrible.
Yes I remember enjoying this movie. I loved all of the characters from legends and stories, as well as all of its steampunk elements. It’s totally underrated.
That car with the four front wheels was epic
I watched the behind the scenes for that movie and found out that it wasn’t even drivable. It had to be pulled for all the chase scenes with a cable along the set. Now when I’ve put it on I only look at how the car moves. That’s one of those movies people took too seriously, it was fun.
LGX would make a good streaming series if the budget was generous.
I swear pretty much every comedy movie is like this unless it’s a massive hit and then becomes a 70% at best
As a kid, I couldn’t believe how funny Wild Wild West is
Me too! I saw it in theaters and cracked up the whole time. Haven’t watched it again since then, but I did listen to an interview with the director who essentially disowned the movie. He said something to the effect of: “the couple of moments that were cute were not worth the overall quality of the film.” He said Klein and Smith had no chemistry. He also basically confirmed the Will Smith MIB fart rumor in the same interview.

Say what now?
Will Smith is a farter… he’s, you know, a lovely guy. Just, he farts. Some do, some don’t.
I like that this director thinks that there are some people wired different to just never fart. But with that being said, I kind of get where he’s coming from. One of my brothers has no problem letting farts rip. One of his crowning achievements was making a pregnant lady puke when she walked into his office after he had been hot boxing it for a few hours.

As a fabled never farter I can confirm, I simply do not fart outside of during bowel movements.
I’m trying to convince my kids that “dads don’t fart” because that will be hilarious when they learn the truth
It did not hold up well.
I think it did.
But I grew up watching the TV show, and others like it (Get Smart), and appreciate the style of humor.
I think the divide on this is knowing what that genre is about, and some people just don’t appreciate that kind of humor.
I get it, I like these movies/shows, but don’t like the 3 Stooges.
So I just watched it for the first time earlier this year and honestly it wasn’t bad. It’s cheesy (and by most measures not a great film), but it was genuinely fun to watch.
Eh, I never saw it as a kid, and I watched it recently… imo it’s a decent action flick. It barely makes sense in more than one way but I still enjoyed the ride
I still think the movie slaps
Going to give an old example and a new example.
I remember liking the Aeon Flux movie. Don’t remember too much about it, but I remember enjoying it, and favorably comparing it to Ultraviolet which came out around the same time. Recently I heard someone bring it up in a podcast as a terrible movie and it turns out it’s pretty universally panned lol.
A more recent example is The Watchers. I thought it was pretty good and kept my interest the whole time, but seems pretty middling from reviews. A lot of people especially didn’t like the ending, which I guess was kind of sudden, but still alright imo. Not noteworthy in being especially bad or anything.
Aeon Flux movie would have been fine as a normal action movie. It was a terrible Aeon Flux movie.
I agree. Kinda hard to make that movie true to the source material though when the whole point is that Aeon dies at the end every time.
I believe it. Coming in blind having never having seen the original probably helped a lot.
favorably comparing it to Ultraviolet
Damning with faint praise.
Really? I loved it! But, I know literally nothing about the source material.
I thought the Percy Jackson movies were pretty cool. I was very wrong
Sisters Brothers. it has decent reviews when i look now, but it seems to have flopped real bad at the theaters. I watched it free on YouTube and was amazed by it, and then I looked it up and saw it bombed. $38m budget, $13m box office. Oof
There’s lots of them but one that hasn’t been mentioned is Sucker Punch. It’s 6.1 on IMDB and 22% on Rotten Tomatoes and I loved the visuals.
Also, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is terrible but everyone needs to watch the opening sequence
Slam Dance
