Last two were horrible.


I have extremely low expectations for this film considering The Sitter and Your Highness, which are easily among the very worst of the largely released comedies of the last 10 years. I was bummed to see actors I love in both of those movies, and hope the same will not happen to Paul Rudd. Pineapple Express was great, lets hope DGG isn't what Ebert called something along the lines of a "one movie wonder kid."

Yeah, true, but I do love how the OP calls DGG a 'one hit wonder' even though he already has 5-6 fantastic films.

I know i'm in the extreme minority, but i liked "YOUR HIGHNESS".

Its a stoner-medieval fantasy.

I loved all of Green's movies that I have seen, even the much maligned YOUR HIGHNESS. Loved the weird Yoda/Squid dude!

I have seen a good amount of both his comedies and his weird/dark/so real they are surreal serious movies.

Anyway, that kid who randomly posted above was fantastic in JOE. And his father had a truly memorable and disturbing scene.

I for one love DG Green's schizophrenic career!
