Boring


What is it with high rated movies here on IMDB and other sites, that dont deserve the ratings and reputations?

I see a horror movie (and expect to be scared) and it is boring

I see a comedy movie (and expect to actually laugh) and it is boring...

Is this funny to old people only or something? I understood all the jokes in the movie but I did not laugh. I smiled briefly about 2 times through the whole film.

I swear, I will never ever believe critics and online ratings again.

TWwarrior - thanks for your input- could you clarify something ? Did you need the subtitles or were you watching and listening to the original French? Even with the subtitles i found this highly amusing and i can only assume that in the original french the humour must come through even better. Of course you are entitled to your opinion but i fear you may have missed some of the intended comedy, perhaps if you were struggling to read the subtitles quickly enough you may have missed visual cues and such like.

Hmm I don't remember. But I respect that you replied in mature manner that's rare on this website.

I'm actually a fan of french comedies like Les visiteurs or louis de funes movies but I did not laugh in this one... I guess it's different kind of humor which I'm not that fond of.

What surprised me is the positive ratings and reviews so I didn't get what I expected.

thank you for your considered reply. i saw this randomly on telly (back in the day) and actively sought it out years later on dvd just so i could own it and thought it even better. i havent even considered watching the hollywood version.
happy watching.

btw i know its heresy but i do find some scenes in game of thrones over written and a bit too long but still love the multiple story lines ......

About game of thrones, in my opinion it's over rated too much. But I watched all the seasons but the newest one and must say it's not too bad, so the overrating is not that surprising to me, as is the case with some other films or shows which don't deserve it. (Now I'm not talking about the dinner game specifically)

Again, glad you weren't one of those fans who insult others for their opinions. Have a nice day.

When you say "boring" are you referring to the film, or your post?
