This is a dumb comedy that knows exactly what it is and plays it for laughs with a long, knowing gaze at the audience. There’s no movie beyond the comedy, so don’t go looking for depth here. If this isn’t your style of comedy you’ll hate this movie, but for everyone else there are pretty some memorable moments.
Closest comparison: It’s like A Night at the Roxbury way of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.
Setting: Music Industry
Plot: Zero to Hero
Tone: Dumb Comedy
This overlooked gem is a delightful ‘90s cross between a romantic comedy and an extended SNL sketch. Mike Myers is in peak form; he only plays two characters, shying away from the up to four from some of his other films, and the comedy stays in the cute realm instead of wandering off into raunchier territory. Some may guess the end from early on, but it’s fun to sit back and enjoy the ride.
Closest comparison: It’s like Clue! by way of Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Setting: Rom Com
Plot: Thriller
Tone: Comedy
