That's right, it's time for me to share my highly respected and recognized opinion with you so that you know what's good for you. Heed my words! I am a dispensary of wisdom and cheesy goodness!

But perhaps you don't want that, in which case...

American Wedding

What are you thoughts on Zoolander though? Never thought that movie would be funny in a million years, but man I never laughed that hard.

I never saw zoolander. Ben Stiller isn't all that funny to me. Maybe I'll give it a whirl and see what happens.

There are lots of movies like that, though. You see them thinking, "This is going to be lame ass" and then you finish the film and it's "That was the funniest shit ever." How? Who knows? I think Disney's George of the Jungle was that way for me- I got dragged into it kicking and screaming because it was a kids' flick, and yet it turned out to be one of the best Disney movies ever. Go figure.

Ben Stiller sucks. Jim Carey sucks too. Occassionally they end up in movies that turn out being decent, but not usually.
I'm trying to deal with the fact that you don't like Austin Powers. Ok, the first one was a little slow, but it basically served to establish the characters. But after that they were able to let loose with the monsters that they had created. Oh and two words: Elizabeth Hurley.

As for American Wedding, funny as hell. I'm not sure if I liked it better than the second one, but it was damn funny. I really did NOT miss any of the missing characters. Mena Suvari is funny looking, Chris Klein is like a bootleg Keanu Reeves (which is REALLY bad), and Tara Reid (in my opinion) is really nothing special.
The plot had more holes than the Moonlight Bunny Ranch. But I think if that bothers a particular viewer, then they're missing the point.

Agreed and agreed.

The plot had more holes than the Moonlight Bunny Ranch.

Nice metaphor. And yes, totally. But plot consistency is not why you go to these kinds of movies. This is all about entertainment and fun. Laughs and hysterics and what not. Plus, pushing the limit on tasteless body humor.
