Chuckles 30, Laughs 2, Belly Laughs 1
Notes: This is a Holiday favorite for lots of people and it's yet another movie that I'm embarrassed to say, I've never watched before. I'd seen parts of it here and there. I saw the iconic Macaulay Culkin face with the two hands on his face and I knew that Joe Pesci was in it but it just didn't seem very appealing to me. The movie is written by John Hughes who wrote so many famous comedies that will live on forever. It's directed by Chris Columbus so it has quite the pedigree. Also, kids (and adults) still seem to love it so I made time to watch it to see what all the hubbub was about. There are quite a few chuckles and I can see why kids dig it. It's not the funniest holiday movie but as long as there are new kids watching it every year, it likely will likely endure for years to come. Would I watch it again? No. Not unless I was watching it with a grandchild and even then, it would be to watch their reactions to the movie as they see someone like them getting the best of "bad guys."

Chuckles 79, Laughs 28, Belly Laughs 8
Notes: This is one of the funniest Christmas movies ever made (in my humble opinion). Opey (Ron Howard) really knows how to direct winning movies. Jim Carrey brings the Grinch to live with such zest. He's literally the only one that could have pulled it off. He has an uncanny ability to communicate his visual comedy while wearing a mask/prostetic, Truly remarkable. Whether it's the Holiday Season or not, if you haven't seen this movie, you should. It's literally my youngest daughter's favorite Christmas movie with great performances by Taylor Momsen (Cindy Lou Who) and Christine Baranski (Martha May Whovier) but let's be honest, this is the Jim Carrey Show. One of my favorite performances - the guy was just on fire. Would I watch it again? Yes Chuckles 27, Laughs 4, Belly Laughs 2
Notes: As crazy as it is to admit, I'd never seen this Christmas classic. The movie is another version of the Charles Dicken's, "A Christmas Carol" and it's played well by Bill Murray who was a super hot actor in the 1980's and a good choice. This movie is also referenced with the current reboot "Spirited." I enjoyed seeing Bobcat Goldthwait (kinda forgot about him). I found the movie mildly funny with mostly chuckles. I'm glad to have seen it. Would I see it again? No. |
AuthorIf there' s one thing I've always been good at, it's laughing and identifying with a remarkable degree of accuracy, the source of that laughter. For I am SKOL; (The) Scandinavian King Of Laughter!
