Down to Earth (2001)
How could you not find this movie funny?!
First of all, this movie was very funny. I am a big fan of Chris Rock, and I think that even though he couldn't swear like he does during his stand up, he was still really funny. The whole audience was laughing from the first scene to the last scene, and even leaving the theater. One thing about this movie is that even if you don't think Chris Rock is that funny, you can't help but laugh at this movie. There were no points in the movie that were stale or boring.
It's so funny to read the other reviews that people write. I think they are trying to write some scientific breakdown thesis to make them seem highly intelligent or above others in movie maturity. Sorry, but your not. Some people just write lengthy put-down reviews about good movies because otherwise they would have nothing worth reading. Who cares if the story is a remake of some old movie from back in the day. That alone doesn't make it funny or unfunny compared to the original. Sorry, but Siskel & Ebert are not hiring interns. If you want to see a funny movie with a date, by yourself, with your kids (10 or older), with your parents, or with your friend, this is the movie to see. Don't waste your time with Saving Silverman. Ultimate disappointment.
To the other reviewers, don't hate - congratulate!
Saving Silverman (2001)
One of the worst movies I have seen in a long time
I could not believe that anyone would ever give this movie a good review. This movie was so bad, it was like watching Bob Sagat do 90 mins of stand-up comedy with the other two losers from Full House in the background telling the crowd when they are supposed to laugh. I don't think that this was even supposed to be a comedy. It was more like a cruel joke. There was not one part of this film at all that even made me shed a grin. The only people that I could see that would actually laugh at this movie are Beavis and Butthead, and that's only because they laugh 19 hours out of the day. I went to the theater that day originally to see Hannibal or Crouching Tiger - Hidden Dragon, but my girl and her friends forced me to see this god-awful film. I have never been so angry about spending money on a movie untill Saving Silverman. If you think that pulling down your pants and trying to light your farts on fire for an hour and a half is the funniest thing ever, this is the movie for you. Don't waste your money or your time. Go see Castaway.
