Cedar Rapids keeps its ambitions in check and easily exceeds them. A gut-bustingly funny story about Ed Helms’ rural Cheesehead taking his first airplane trip to the Gotham of the title, it needn’t venture far from home to harvest a bumper crop of universally identifiable storylines. Did I …

Wannabe superheroes are an obvious target for movie comedy. Wonder then that so few moviemakers try it, even if two did in 2010. Super may not be the funniest of that pair, but it’s plenty comical and surprisingly deep at the same time. You can see why writer-director James Gunn got "Guardians …

How did this kitsch-fest become Woody Allen’s highest grossing movie? Paris is beautiful, oui. The lives of great artists are fascinating, oui, oui. But a cheap time-travel gimmick in service to a shopworn Woody Allen plot squanders such gifts. The answer to its popularity must be the voyeu…

Seven satiric relationships are more than enough for one sex comedy. Start with 1) a teen mooning for his babysitter, 2) the babysitter mooning for the boy’s father, and 3) the father dealing with the demise of his marriage, along with 4) a newfound Lothario status. Then add 5) his wife’s workp…

Descendents descend from families. The Descendants is about concentric families in crisis: an exploding nuclear family, a feuding extended family, an enduring multigenerational family. They all center on George Clooney’s reluctant patriarch, the trustee of a landed Hawaiian dynasty. Cloone…

Deadly funny, Young Adult expertly skewers shallow Americana, especially the self-absorbed who drift through the sports bars, Hampton Inns and chain stores that delineate it. Nearly every scene tickles. Many are provocatively LOL, especially effective on those of us with a taste for really sm…

The 21st century 21 Jump Street bangs the gong — comedy style — by expertly exploiting high school and cop show cliches. Well mounted, creatively inspired and charismatically performed, it’s almost enough to give commercial crap a good name. OK, maybe not, but it’s entertaining as hell. Hel…

Better to think of Jeff, Who Lives at Home as affecting drama with LOLs than as comedy with some stinkers. Consider the title as Exhibit A. Funny and intriguing to me, others might say “What The …?” Many will reject Jeff@Home on stinkers alone, though it ends up as serious as a shot to…

Dumb & Dumber. And dumbest. The Farrelly Brothers’ Three Stooges movie is funny, funnier, funniest. Well not really, but plenty enough for fans of the original. (Like me. What’s it to ya’) Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. Hello. Hello! HELLO! Their silly depression-era S&M comedy gets dropped into t…

Is there a funnier scary movie? While not laugh-your-guts-out, The Cabin in the Woods is LOL all thru. The comedy just keeps coming and coming. Bloody deaths come too, soon a welcome part of the comedy. Some reviewers decline to describe the movie. Just go they say. Why not describe i…
