10 Funny Movie Reviews
These 10 funny movie reviews should provide a nice change of pace from the usual super-serious reviews written by all the respectable critics. The following reviews are filled with cynicism, sexual innuendo and downright goofiness. Read on and prepare to be amused.
Avatar from Cracked – Bobby “Fatboy” Roberts writes this review of Avatar. While it ends up being a positive review due to the intense action scenes of the climax, the bulk of the reviews if a scathing (and hilarious) look at the rest of the film. From Dances With Wolves comparisons to complaints about clumsy romantic subplots, there’s plenty of comedic goodness to be had in this funny movie review.
Seven Pounds from FilmBender – The guys at FilmBender pull no punches, claiming that seven pounds isn’t nearly as many times as they’d like to pound star Rosario Dawson. It’s hardly an in-depth analysis, but it did give me a chuckle. Hopefully, it’ll do the same for you. Plus, it features a great picture of the lovely Ms. Dawson.
District 9 from Mr. Cranky – Mr. Cranky hates every movie; it’s just a matter of how much he hates them. He really despises District 9, complaining in humorous detail about the level of violence and underdeveloped aliens.
Speed 2: Cruise Control from Roger Ebert – This one isn’t meant to be funny, but it still is. That’s because venerable film critic Roger Ebert actually gave three stars out of four to the disaster known as Speed 2: Cruise Control. While I’m certain Jason Patric was thrilled by the positive review, anyone else will be left scratching their head in confusion…and amusement. I guess nobody’s perfect.
I Am Sam from Mr. Cranky – Another gem from Mr. Cranky, this time aimed at a film where Sean Penn plays a mentally disabled man. Cranky calls it a “shameless piece of universal cosmic dung,” but he’s just getting started. Check out this classic bit of criticism: “Sam has a group of funny developmentally challenged friends, several of whom are not played by actual developmentally challenged people. At my screening, their antics tended to make middle-aged women with below-average IQs giggle a lot.”
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead from FilmBender – Besides talking about the sheer hotness of Marisa Tomei, the guys at FilmBender also manage to talk a little bit about the actual movie. But mostly they discuss how good Tomei looks in and out of bed.
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li from Mr. Cranky – One of my favorite sites when it comes to funny movie reviews, Cranky sums this film up perfectly with the following line, “Street Fighter used to be about the fighting. Apparently, now it’s about giving B grade TV stars their very own leading roles.”
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li from Ain’t It Cool News – One of Harry Knowles’ cronies also gets in on the Street Fighter bashing, calling this Kristin Kreuk vehicle “really, really, really bad shit.” This one is pretty lengthy compared to other funny movie reviews, so expect to get plenty of comedic bang for your buck.
Rest Stop from Film Cynic - When it comes to horror films, Rest Stop is about as bad as it gets. So bad it’s laughable, the film eventually wears you down like a screening of Mystery Science Theater. Film Cynic explores the awfulness in great detail, taking about everything from so-called acting to the atrocious script. The film is unintentionally funny, while the review certainly means to be.
Miss March from Mr. Cranky – One final gem from Mr. Cranky, this review rips apart Miss March, a film that had critics everywhere frothing at the mouth in disgust. It receives the dreaded mushroom cloud rating, which, according to the site, is “proof that Jesus died in vain.” Cranky says the film “has no balls” and is a “1.5 hour infomercial on Playboy.” Click on the link to read more.
