Evil Alien Conquerors (2003)
Some really funny stuff
Usually when I like a comedy I'll laugh a few times, but not all that often. This movie had me laughing as hard as any I can remember. It helped that I was in a room with several other like-minded guys who also found it hilarious.
Some of the things in EAC are thoughtful, too. I especially liked it when Kroker came to earth and acted as though he was still 100 feet tall, and when he went to attack M'ik and D'ug they were cowering on the floor before him, waiting to be crushed under his mighty foot. It's funny because it's true: often we cower in fear of people who don't really have the power over us they think they do, just because it's how we are used to thinking of them.
And Kroker doing infomercials was awesome!
Sex Sells: The Making of 'Touché' (2005)
Unfunny, ignorant, dreadful
Spinal Tap was funny because if you knew a little about heavy metal, you saw in-jokes all over the place. If you know anything about porn, this mock documentary will leave you cold. Everything in it rings false.
Spinal Tap was funny because it took a familiar world and pushed it over the top. This film is decidedly not funny because it paints a picture of how porn is made that bears no relationship to the real world.
The acting here is uniformly awful, but that would not matter much if the core idea of the movie were good. But it's not.
