This could have been great
You know that friend you have that no one likes? The one you hang around with because you feel sorry for them, and you want them to stay away from you but you don't have the heart to tell them? Well, imagine if you did tell them to stay away from you. And imagine if they didn't listen. That is the perfect premise for the perfect black comedy. How could anybody screw this up? There are two ways. First, cast the likable and funny Jim Carrey in the role of a dark character. Second, downplay the "black" aspect and emphasize the "comedy" aspect. A black comedy should play as a horror movie, and the comedy will naturally develop from there. Instead, this movie grossly plays on the comedy aspect, adding cheap jokes by the gallon. Now, I don't mind cheap jokes at all. One of my favorite movies of all times is Tommy Boy. However, this movie doesn't even succeed in that department. My advice: Don't see it if you're a fan of either black or slapstick comedies. This movie insults both of them.
I just wanna hang out...NO BIG DEAL!!!!!!!!
Classic, man, truelly is. the story of a lonely cable guy who just wants a freind. If you like Jim Carrey, or Matthew Broderic, watch this!
You need to see it more than once to appreciate it.
Don't write this one off, give it time and you will soon discover it is a great movie. I just wish the damned DVD was better!
