I thought Irene was a pretty solid comedy. 8/10. Dumb and Dumber 5/10. Maybe 6.
This was a 3. It wasn't that it was never funny. It was, at times. The problem was the endlessness of jokes that completely bombed. I could count about 25 or 30 that were forced, campy, or both, and just fell flat. It wouldn't have been such a bad movie if the jokes that are so bad they literally make you angry didn't come at you like a machine gun spray, riddling the corpse that used to be your good mood.
Whenever there is a discussion about favorite comedies, say movies like Lebowski, Office Space, Trading Places... and people bring this up, I glare at them and think about breaking their jaw.
