Metal Reviews

I don't think comedy works for movies as well as it does for TV shows, because over a show, the writers can weave a much more elaborate web of personality-based humour and running inside jokes. I enjoy a lot of comedies but it's rare that a whole movie makes me laugh as much as a half hour of Stephen Colbert, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia or The Office at their best.

The Hangover was insanely overrated though.

watch Airplane! now!!!

Yeah, there's SO many comedy films I adore.

As many as action or drama, if not more.

Maybe because of all the weed I smoke...?

weed tends to make unfunny shit pretty funny.

The Office is pretty damn awesome.

Fixed it for you.

And again.

Hells yeah! Steve Carrell is only funny when Ricky Gervais is shouting at him at an awards show.

Bollocks.

UK The Office > US The Office.

That, my friends is a scientific fact. There's no real "evidence" for it, but it is a scientific fact.

I haven't watched a whole lot of the U.K. Office episodes, but I know it'd be hard to top the funniest show on television that is The Office.

You're absolutely right- the British TV show The Office.



......



Seriously though, I've only seen a few episodes of the yank Office. It was pretty funny but not as profound as the British one. You don't get the same sense of futility, inadequacy and despair that is the basis of al good comedy.

Uhhh.... its comedy! Watch it for what it is, don't search your inner self when watching it.

Gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that the British version might be funnier to Brits, while the US version might be funnier to those across the pond. Crazy, I know.

So the US version is better if you have lower expectations?

If a comedy show can be funny and say something else as well, that to me is a good thing.

Anyhoo, that's not really the point. IMO the British sense of humour to me thrives on misery and failure, which in my experience the American one doesn't.

So basically, what Orion said.

American version is wacky and silly, off-beat in order to be funny. Not my cup of tea really.

I liked both of them. American one is a little more cute and cuddly and British more srs and depressing but they're both good.

The Pianist

Quite a visceral movie.
