Best Albert Brooks Movie
Are you with me? Suuuure you are, because I'm right. "Broadcast News" would be first, but it's not really an Albert Brooks movie, now is it. It is, however, his best performance. I'd say "Defending Your Life" comes next. It's pretty cute, but it's still very funny. "Take a piss!" Great stuff. "Real Life" and "Modern Romance" are totally weird, but I still like them. Charles Grodin doesn't save "Real Life" - it was already pretty good - but he does make it a lot better. Watching Brooks in "Modern Problems" is like watching Woody Allen off his medicine. I have a hard time sympathizing for him because he's so insane in that movie, but it's still fun to watch. Some classic moments (the cokehound at the party offering to take his wife home). "The Muse" was a lot better than I expected...could've done better than Sharon Stone though. "Looking for Comedy..." was pretty trashy. Not going to lie. I spent so much money on that DVD, so it's especially hard for me to say. But it's true, and I'm sorry. Long story short, "Lost In America" is the best. I need to go pass out now.
