I have to; no, WANT to agree whole-heartedly with the original review of this movie. It IS stupid, BRILLIANTLY stupid and quite funny. No, it'll never win an Oscar nor does it try to. It simply tries to give a laugh and for those who 'get the joke' it does just that. Those who so vehemently trash this film seem to be nothing more than snobs. Loosen up. It doesn’t have to be an A list movie to be terrific.
Exactly! Thank you for being another person who gets it!
I find the movie to be genius, and I'm single handedly trying to get it to become a cult classic, but now with even Comedy Central playing it, it seems to not work.
I mean, it was never done seriously, not for a moment. This lets you pay attention to the jokes, making them amazing.
Top 10 defining moments for The Stupids:
10. "Police Kidnapped Your Children"
9. Fatal Error Drive B/ OH MY GOD IT'S THE DRIVE BEE!
8. We're military men, killing people is supposed to be our job!
7. Praise to thee oh lord! Actually, it's pronounced Loyd. *Whisper* All these years we've been saying it wrong!
6. May I recommend the Cashew Chicken? You'll get your money when we get our Dad back! And don't call us "Chicken"!
5. "If you still love me Sally, tie a ribbon around the old oak tree!" It seems that the only thing hanging from that tree will be you....Bob! *Throws letter into giant furnace while dramatic music swells*
4. *Petunia picks up a hand grenade* How Lovely! *Takes ring out, wears it, throws grenade, kills 5 guys*
3. *Looks at bike* Two Wheels! *looks at car* Four Wheels *looks at roller blades* Eight Wheels!
I agree! There is almost no single moment of this movie which isn't funny. it's jokes are smart and the movie is much much better than all of today's grossout comedies like hangover and such.
