the sketch that Forte plays the trick or treating sex offender has got to be the best thing he's done.

tbh the Macgruber sketches were the only thing I laughed at on the recent Betty White ep (which was the first time I'd watched the show in like 5 years or something)

It's an absolutely terrible movie with several bits that will make you laugh until your head hurts. I'm actually puzzled as to how that works, because I mean the movie is TERRIBLE but also HILARIOUS.

okay then how does it compare to Step Brothers?

Step Bros is way more quotable but this was really funny/retarded.

i've seen the trailers and this Forte character seems too whiny to handle a whole movie.

the movie is TERRIBLE but also HILARIOUS.
otm, i don't know how it managed to be both simultaneously but it did.
forte's whininess led to the best parts of the movie imo.

i kind of agree with this, i mean it's not like a "great movie," but i feel like thats kind of besides the point you know? it's meant to be, like, a bad action movie. not saying that being bad is the point, but like, not sure how this movie could have been "better" on those terms yknow?
― NUDE. MAYNE. (s1ocki), Monday, 24 May 2010 15:24 (3 years ago) Permalink
No, I mean as far as filmmaking goes, like maintaining a linear narrative and changing locations with some purpose... this movie fails in about every area. What it is is just a freeform vehicle for fantastically funny gags strung together clumsily.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 25 May 2010 03:17 (3 years ago) Permalink
