FDR: American Badass! (2012)
Genius movie...
I saw a screening of this in Portland and it is seriously one of the funniest films ever made. It reminded me of Airplane or Naked Gun. Partly because Barry Bostwick turns in a Leslie Nielson-esque performance, and more importantly, you believe him in the role of FDR. Don't get me wrong the dialogue is out of control and everything is played over the top, including the effects and werewolf costumes, but the cast seems to revel in it and act it out as if the words were Shakespeare. The surrounding cast around Bostwick really rose to level that he was playing his character, especially Ray Wise, Bruce McGill, and Ross Patterson. The filmmakers manage to pull off the low budget aspect and use it to bolster the film, so much so, that it seems like it was specifically written for that type of vibe. The film itself is extremely crass and involves blatant racism, but no one is safe from it. I for one LOVED this film and think it has the potential to be an instant cult classic, but I'm sure some people will be offended.
7-10 Split (2007)
I rather liked it.
I had never heard of this movie, not sure how long ago it came out in the states, but I liked it. Me and my friends laughed. For an indie comedy, it was pretty funny. I'm assuming it's indie, because we usually get all the big movies over here in theaters. The two male leads had great chemistry and there was a lot of fun cameos, especially Vinnie Jones. He stole the scenes he was in. I caught this on cable, and I was pretty surprised how funny it was. It reminded me of your typical sports movies, same formula and what not. There's a lot of random one liners and stoner moments. I was pretty entertained for an hour and a half. I'm not a big Tara Reid fan, but she was okay in this. Worth the watch on cable. I enjoyed it. If you're in the mood to laugh, and are able to check your brain at the door, this is good to pass the time with. And for that I give it a 10 out of 10. I'm pretty easy to please though.
