Alright guys, check this film out. Most commercially produced comedies have lost their edge. I used to really get a kick out of going to the movies and unexpectedly laughing my butt off, but now it seems as if "Dumb & Dumber" is the prototype for most "comedies" and that type of mass marketed garbage has sucked the life out of this genre. The funniest pictures are the ones that have the least amount of slapstick in them because the dialog is so clever it supersedes the need for the obvious shtick. A prime example of this would be basically any Woody Allen film. Intellect plays a huge role in these drama-dies. There's no room or need for special effects and hokey physical comedy because the reality based characters draw you in. Their experiences are shared and worked through. You're essentially part of their family, and while you feel oddly nervous - you also feel somehow comfortable, because these characters, these people, this big family is so much like your own. Chopping Block made me feel satisfied, how often do you feel like that anymore? See This Movie. It Has Depth and Vision, it'll grab you, shake you, make you think and best of all, make you laugh. Priceless!!
