Oh dear.  I think we got some evil coming our way and interestingly enough, it's another comedy!  Get a load of this, Jack and Jill, from your good old buddy Adam Sandler.  I know how much you love him, but I think you'll be heartbroken by this new one he has coming.   :teddyr:

This could suck badly.  Anyone willing to sacrifice themselves and check this one out for us?  It comes out tomorrow.  Me?  No way.  I got to save my precious money for the Muppet Movie in two weeks.

Edit:  Found the review from Spill.com and as always, very good.

Sorry, but my movie time tomorrow is reserved for The Immortals
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

Sorry. So far Sandler makes a movie I like at a ratio of about 1 every 5 movies, and that might be generous. This one, however, I'm not touching with a ten foot pole. Norbit looks better than this.
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

There's only 2 Adam Sandler movies I have liked   ... THE WEDDING SINGER and 50 FIRST DATES only because of the chemistry between him and Drew Barrymore. I won't waste my money on this one.  I am going to see PUSS IN BOOTS this weekend though.  :teddyr:
Hold onto your dreams ....

The only good Adam Sandler movie is Happy Gilmore.  With each successive movie after that, I think he's been trying to intentionally make the worst movie of all time.  He came close with Click and then very, very close with Zohan.
Kneel before Dr. Hell, the ruler of this world!

after suffering through Bucky Larson RATED R!!!!!!!!!!! I think I've earned the right to take a pass on this one
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite

Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

I suppose so.  Guess we'll have to find another member to be the designated bad comedy viewer.  Hmm... maybe we should outsource that job.

When a movie relies on an actor in drag as the basis for humor, it is usually a huge warning sign.  Although there are exceptions (e.g., TOOTSIE, SOME LIKE IT HOT).

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

And how can you leave Glen of Glenda out of your examples.

I'm ashamed of myself.

If I didn't know you better I would say it was a rookie mistake. But I do know you better. But it's already water under the bridge on my end, Burgo.

Actually, according to the AFI, men in drag is the funniest thing ever.

In their "100 Years... 100 Laughs" list, the two movies you mentioned, Some Like it Hot and Tootsie, took the first and second positions, respectively.
