ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER!


When i watched this movie i didn't expect much. It was either this or South Park at the video store. . . but after i had watched it i was amazed. it is really one of the best movies i have ever seen. It has a magnificent cast and a great plot which is so funny! It has a bit of everything!!! To anyone who hasn't seen this you need to!!!! I give it 10/10!

Actually yes, I can't hardly wait till The Whole Ten Yards get in theaters, Mattew Perry is a very talanted guy, he's one of the best comedians ever (If he isn't the best) have u seen Three To Tango?

reply

No i haven't seen it. and before i had seen this i didn't think matthew perry was that good but he is definatly underrated! i also thought that Natasha Henstridge was really good. I haven't seen her in any thing else though which is quite annoying. I cant wait till the whole ten yards either! I only found out about it a few weeks ago and i was so excited! but it wont come out here in australia for awhile yet.

reply

Matthew is very funny indeed, but one of the best? I don't know... He's really good att the thing he do, but I mean, he always play the same guy. So I don't know if I can call him the best. Shouldn't a really great comedian appeal to lots of different people with lots of different humour? But! I do adore him, the thing he does always make me laugh, love "Chandler", so I should rather say that he is one of the funniest actors I've seen. Maybe even the funniest.

About Three to tango. I just saw it. Very funny, not as funny as T9HY, but very funny indeed. And Matthew always makes his characters so easy to love. I'm rooting for him every time!

Sadly, the Whole Ten Yards wasn't as good. *sigh*

Im sorry. Did the video store put the wrong cassette in the box? Are you SURE it was this movie you watched?? Because this movie does in fact LICK BALLS. Theres no other way to put it. I love bruce willis, AND matthew perry... but oh my god!what the bejesus was this pile of steaming poo?!?!?! if you like this .. im afraid you dont deserve to have an opinion on movies and should live in er.. Russia. they dont have movies there. probly. and if they do, im sure theyre told whether to like them or not so... shoo!!!!!

I'll have you know that they do have this movie in Russia... SO THERE... the only difference is that it is about a singing train and stars Jeurgen Protchnov. It follows the original plot closely except for the scene where they have to cross the flooded river and have to get in that smiling helicopter to help them out.

joolziebaby...just because you didnt like it doesnt mean that were idiots...other people might call you an idiot, just for saying that. everyone is entitled to their opinions, even you. but dont rag on someone just because you dont happen to agree.
oh, by the way... to everyone...i am in theatre, and actually, the acting itself pertaining to this movie was right up there. im not saying im an expert, but this movie showed at least the wide range of acting that willis can do, if nothing else.

reply

I've said it before and will undoubtedly say it again...

Everyone has a right to their opinion on a movie (at least if they've seen it) and a right to express it here...

But people need to watch what they say about each other. Just because you love a movie and someone else hates it, it doesn't mean they're an idiot. Or that you are. Let's not get personal and insulting with total strangers just because they don't agree with us.

This is a message board, not Fight Club!

reply

joolziebaby, you're wrong on two points:

1) yes they do have movies in Russia, are you trying to be clever? or just showing your ignorance?

2) this movie was very funny

so, all the people who did have a sense of humour for this movie... what's your favourite moment?

reply

I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!! REALLY LOVED IT!!!!! Is one of the funniest movies i've ever seen. I've got to favourite moments, when Mathew crashes on the glass door, and when the phone rings and he scares and shouts PHONE!!!. I didn' think that the ten yards was that bad, i was all the time laughing, i was so busy in laughing that i didn't realised the end, even when it was kinda obvious.

reply

Yes, two v funny moments :D the glass door thing is very funny. Matthew is excellent at the physical comedy :)

reply

*ahem*

I don't exactly think a movie with no tongue or mouth, even an orfice aside from a metaphorical one, could lick balls. I'm assuming someone was licking your balls, when they made you post this.

I, for one, liked this movie. I think the whole thing was entertaining - sure, the plot was nothing to lose any sleep contemplating, but if you're browsing the comedy section looking for plot, your lobotomy went awry.

reply

i went to see this with my girlfriend and we loved it. We laughed the whole way through. It wasn't the Godfather, but then again it wasn't trying to be.

reply

Disagree; it is shoddy and dull, and I demand to know your reasons for praising it

Bruce Willis and Michael Duncan Clark(e? I'm surprised I remembered his name at all)??

(and I didn't~ *Clarke Duncan)

reply

Yup.. this movie is INEXCUSABLE.

very good movie have seen it very many times

reply

yay its great. matty's a great actor. He can do serious acting and if yer a matty fan like myself you will know i'm talking about the west wing. I'm sick of people dissing his movies just cause he might of done 1 bad movie does not mean that they all suck. He's great and this film's great and i'm glad that people are starting to recognise matty's talents

reply

Thats so damn sad.

reply

I wouldnt rate it as the best movie ever, but it was freakin hillarious. I had great fun watching it, and it actually managed to pull off a pretty good plot with a good twist.

i think it worked well. i'm not sure about The Whole TEN yards tho ... it seems a little overboard, based on what i've seen in the trailers. but hey... i'll find out tonite :)

reply

er ehy is it sad?

reply

ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER!

Brings tears to my eyes.

reply

You know what is also sad? The fact that you refuse to acknowledge(sp) any reasons why that is sad. You don't feel a need to give any reasoning, so I'm going to assume that you're illiterate, and don't know any other phrases, other than the one you just deflowered your keyboard with.

Please try wiping the mud off your shoe, the next time you decide to stick your foot in your mouth. Jerk.

reply

Anyone who thinks this is "ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER" is unfortunately a retard. So obviously no reasoning could convince him otherwise.

reply

it was HILARIOUS! i just watched it today, i can't wait to see the sequel.

reply

[deleted]

Well for me it wasn't of the best movies ever.....but it was fun as hell.I enjoy it for what it is.

reply

yeh i wasnt expecting much but the movie is really funny, im surprised it doesnt have a wider audience and more fans. its really good, Matthew Perry in particular cracked me up, i mean there's so many funny things he did in the movie but i gotta tell u if u've got the UK DVD then u have to see the directors interview. its hilarious, he's in the middle of an interview tongue in cheek saying something along the lines of 'Matthew Perry is useless, he's a puppet, he's a talentless puppet' when out of the blue Matthew comes up to intrupt the whole thing with several ridiculous comments like 'I brought you some bread'. he's actually quite funny and i look foreward to seeing the sequel.

Some people never go crazy. Imagine what truly miserable lives they must lead.

It was like watching chandler bing instead of Oz in this movie.
I didnt like it that much.
does anyone think Matthew Perry has also no-chandler-resemblance parts in movies?

reply

If you liked this, I highly recommend "Grosse Pointe Blank". This is a superb film, also a black comedy about a hitman starring John Cusack and many other fantastic parts.

CCheck it out if you havent already, its one of my top 5.

reply

This was one of the funniest movies ever. It's great in every way. The sequel wasn't that great, but you can't take anything away from the original. It's one of my favorite movies.

reply

lol, it sux! average at best...

reply

It's ironic that someone who can neither spell "sucks" nor observe basic capitalization norms can provide such an objective evaluation of the movie's merits.

reply

I'd have to agree - I refuse to take anyone who starts off a sentance with lol. :D

good movie
