Let me get this straight.It took 5 producers to create this lame comedy movie? Tell the truth now, you have seen funnier flicks than this haven't you? And I'll bet many of those comedy movies were made 5 years ago or more. I just saw "Dodgeball" and laughed and laughed. It was well written, well directed and *gasp*) only had 2 producers one of whom I have my doubts about. (Stuart Cornfeld)No one will remember this stinkeroo (Blue Collar et al) after 2 years.(thankfully)Five thumbs down.
Me and my husband watched the movie for the first time last night. It was a good laugh. There were some parts that were not funny but for the most part I laughed thought the whole thing :-) I liked when they went into Spencers and Jeff said of Larry, "He's got enough money to by ANYTHING he wants in this mall and he buys a remote control fart machine!!" It was kinda sick but I did think it was funny when he was "farting" in the mall. I liked the end when they were telling stories. But I liked the "here's your sign" ones the best. I had to watch the movie because we are starting to watch Blue Collar Comedy on TV during the week. I will watch it if they come out with another one.
Spoilers herein.It used to be that a standup comic would make an LP. Cosby, Prior... all the greats would have to generate funny from a universal place. We'd buy these for a specific laughing purpose which is all but forgotten now. Things have changed - DVDs have switched the economics of comedy, so that lesser talents can be moved into niches. Movies are all about inventing lives, so those niches are now defined by comics and routines that are all about helping the audience decide who they are.I thought little of this was funny, and none of the unpracticed stuff. If these guys really were blue collar comics, they would be genuinely funny people (we all know some) instead of professional storytellers with funny material.But I'll give them this: nearly all this humor is goodnatured. It invites the audience to poke fun at itself. Contrast this with most `black' humor, which helps its audience define itself by poking fun at others.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
this is by far better than any comedy i have ever seen. i literally, not once, but twice wet my pants laughing at it. of course it did not help at all that i was enjoying a few cold ones at the time. these guys really know how to hit home with their jokes because all of it has happened to some of us at least once in our lives. some of us more than once. listening to them makes us all realize that maybe...possibly...we all have a little redneck in all of us. and if you don't think you do, then after watching these guys, you will be convinced. it will make you want to grab a beer and laugh "till you pee your pants"
