Anyone else think this is the best Broken Lizard movie?


IMO, this is the best Broken Lizard's movie. It's not becuase it is hilarious, but it is just the most rewatchable. I bought this movie only becuase I loved Super Troopers so much, but every time I watch Club Dread I like it even more. I will say that Super Troopers is funnier, but Club Dread is better. Only by a lil' bit tho

I've seen this and Super Troopers. I don't know if the have made any other movies, but between the two I like Super Troopers better. They are both great and I'll watch them again and again.

I love every movie these guys make. I wish they would make more.

Some of thier others are pretty decent, but this one suckeda$$. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Only slightly better than Date Movie.

reply

Only slightly better than Date Movie? Wow. I don't even know how to respond to that

They also made Beerfest and The Slammin' Salmon. But there are also 3 others I have not seen. Puddle Cruiser, Freeloaders and The Babymakers.

ayy

I agree the movie does get funnier as you re-watch it. Ive seen it many times and I still find various parts hilarious.

Its not the best movie ever made, but thats the whole point. Parts that look crude or bad were more than likely meant to. That is how I look at the movie and is the reason I enjoy it.

reply

Parts that look crude or bad should be 'funny' if they were meant to, not just crude or bad, which is what the movie looked like. Beerfest was much more humorous.

reply

This is my fave Broken Lizard film too and I agree that it is rewatchable. I still watch this movie all the time. Most people don't get this movie and because of that fall back on the "this movie sucks" thing but to me Club Dread is full on Broken Lizard. If you likes Super Troopers, you'll like this one.

reply

It's the least watchable, unfunny, completely idiotic movie Broken Lizard has done. I'd never miss it.

reply

This coming from someone who watches General Hospital.

reply

You're so smart that you couldn't figure out that I'm not the one wtaching it, but I also can't escape it (you also didn't even take the time to see that my posts ripped the show). Anyhow, Genital Hospital is still better than this crap (which is pretty bad). Not much, but it even makes more sense than this turdball. Club Dreadful. What a joke. And I liked Super Troopers and Beerfest a fair amount. I guess you didn't.

Hey, are you going to keep tracing my posts all the way back to the very first? IMDB stalkers. What a bunch of tards. If a movie is anywhere near as good as one claims, it should have some legs. All that the fanboys of this can say is that they find incredible stupidity funny. Nothing in this movie 'works'. I guess I'll stalk you're threads now....

reply

You're not the one watching it yet you're commenting on characters and their plot lines. Then you say General Hospital is still better than Club Dread.. but.. you don't even watch General Hospital. Soudns to me like you are the "tard". I only looked at your post history once and that's all it took. Don't flatter yourself into thinking anyone in the world gives a crap about you enough to actually "stalk" you're imdb boards. So heres what you need to do. Stick to your General Hospital boards and don't even worry about what we're doing over here on the cool side of the block okay? Lastly, don't put words in my mouth, I never said anything against Beerfest or Super Troopers. I like them both almost as much as Club Dread. And if any of this is too hard for you to handle, maybe you should stay away from the internet. I am so sick of you dumb kids getting on your computers and acting stupid!

reply

You're such a genius you haven't figured that out? Is it that hard? I'm in the same room, working on the computer whlie the show is running for someone else. You think I can't hear it or look over and see it (I will admit to looking when Monaco is on)? I didn't set the channel or have it play and once I'm home, I'm home. I'm not leaving because a sucky soap is on. That shouldn't take a genius to figure out.

If you didn't stalk my posts I wouldn't care. Club Dread is better left for dead. But now I see who likes this crap movie. There was virtually no humor in this, no tension (for those who claim it is trying to be a horror/comedy hybrid) and no reason to watch it. I can't even imagine liking it as much as Beerfest.

reply

Yeah I should've figured that out. Since i'm a psychic and know everything that goes on in a complete strangers household. If that is actually what goes on. You're obviously paying enough attention to comment on it. So now I see what kinda of person doesn't like Club Dread. So i'll say it again, stick to the soap message boards. Conversation over.

reply

Yes. I have a pulse and brain activity. Therefore I can't stand Club Dreadful. Say what you want since you talk out of your rear. You don't know anywhere near what you think and that's obvious. I'm being very sarcastic when I refer to you as a genius, which you must think you are, and evidently you haven't figured out that you aren't. And how many posts did I make on GH? What? 3 or 4? Yes, I can see how I've flooded that board and constantly bombard it with daily posts.

"Conversation over." Wow. How prophetic. Or is it pathetic? Just like the comedic attempts made by Club Dreadful.

reply

I said conversation over.

reply

I don't really care what you said. If it's over, I can count on you not even posting anymore behind me.

reply

Good. It's dropped. Let's move on.

reply

I agree, but I think Beerfest is the best! Das Boot

reply

I love how this kid, who's obviously some virgin sitting in his mother's kitchen watching tv with her, very adamantly denies watching General Hospital, then refers to it as "GH" and name-drops a character in it in the next posts. Classic.
And by the way, dude, you're a moron; Club Dread is hilarious. Maybe it's only funny to grown-ups though -- if you ever get a chance to look at a naked woman or drink a beer or maybe have someone offer you "reefer," you might change your opinion on life.
Enjoy GH!

reply

CLubbed Dread. Maybe the worst movie of that year. Smoke up another fatty so you can us how great Date Movie was as well. Since neither was worthy of a positive comment.

reply

I feel sorry for you. I watched this again over the weekend and laughed even harder than I did the first twelve times I saw it. You don't seem to have much of an imagination or sense of humor. No wonder you have such a negative outlook.

reply

And apparently you're a stalker because you clicked on someones' handle to see their post history. People are pretty dense and ignorant

I completely agree with this post. It's the subtle nuances in the writing that make this movie hilarious, and I'm sure they go over many people's heads. My favorite is the scene where Dave says "We swapped out a six foot Swedish chick for this guy?" and Lars replies "I'm 6'1" and then Dave says "Cool!" That type of sarcasm is rife throughout the film and it seems like most people only see the intentional continuity errors and such...they are mocking what is wrong with horror movies...

but then again I think movies like Wrong Turn and Cabin Fever, etc. are unintentionally funny so of course Im going to like a film that mocks those type of movies

reply

Here's why people hate it.

It's not funny
It's not coherent

People who aren't high when they watch it tend to get annoyed by it.

reply

I agree, Club Dread is one of the funniest and most undderated films ever made. Ive seen it a bunch of times and it gets better w. every watch. Super Troopers is also great and undderated. Puddle cruiser just sucked. still havent seen beerfest :(

reply

Yes.

I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.

reply

Super Troopers is easily the best (and very rewatchable), but Club Dread is hugely underappreciated. I pick up on subtle things everytime I watch it, and there are so many quotes:

-"This guy's gonna be picking his teeth out of my dump" (still don't even know what that means, but I love it)
-"There's always one *beep* like you trying to *beep* in the apple pie. Well you just shat in the one apple pie that knows how to *beep* back."
-"Oral Roberts? Is that like Anal Johnson? Cuz I've done that a few times."
-Anything by Coconut Pete, especially the songs("Theres a little place called Pleasure Island, that's where I'd like to feel ya!"); Bill Paxton is top-notch

reply

much better than super troopers. bill paxton made this movie. didn't find super troopers funny at all. beerfest was ok not nearly as good as this.

reply

Wow. I would have to say the exact opposite wyg.

hell yah its my fav the more yiyu watch it the more you love it not to mention you pick up in tiny/subtle BL humor.

reply

I didn't really care for this outing from the Broken Lizard guys. I love Super Troopers and Beerfest is pretty good, as well, but I just couldn't get into this one. I saw the unrated version, and felt it went on way too long. Perhaps I would enjoy the theatrical version a bit more since its a little shorter.

Don't get me wrong, I've seen worse comedies and worse horror flicks, but as far as the Broken Lizard flicks, I say this is the less satisfying of the bunch. (By the way, I haven't seen 'Puddle Cruiser'.)

I did let out a few laughs, mainly at some of Coconut Pete's lines ("Son of a son of a BITCH!") and album titles/song titles, but I won't watch it again.

"There go the god damn brownies!!"

reply

This is one of my favorite movies, not just Broken Lizard, but movies in general. The first weekend I rented it, I watched it at least 6 times. I still haven't gotten sick of it and I watch it monthly.

It's also a great movie to watch tanked.

Welcome to Costco. I love you.

reply

I love Club Dread but I love Beerfest better.

reply

This was, by far, the worst BL movie. I'm really not sure what you BL lovers were smoking when you watched it, but what and awful fn mess this movie was. Horrid.

reply

It seems based on the posts that it's hit or miss. People either love it or hate it. I find it to be hilarious. The characters and acting really make the movie. Rewatch value on this one is really high. I have seen all of BL's movies. If I had to rank them based on how much I liked them here's how it'd go: 1. Club Dread/Super Troopers (tie, can't make up my mind on that one), 2. Beerfest, 3. Puddle Cruiser (still good despite being last)

I can't wait for Slammin Salmon...as well as Super Troopers 2.



Peace.
