The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)
Some People Get It... Some Don't.
Living in Harrisburg PA I don't get a chance to see many movies before they open nationwide, but The Royal Tenenbaums was well worth the wait for wide release. Most movies fail to live up to their expectations, but The Royal Tenenbaums was above and beyond what I expected. I'm a loyal fan of Wes Anderson, Rushmore, etc.. and I'll be the first to admit that not everyone is going to like this.. as you'll see from the mixed reviews his movies receive, but if you liked Rushmore or Bottle Rocket, or want something a little offbeat, check this out.
So many things are perfect in this movie.. the humor that only half the audience could laugh at, the scene changes, the sets, the queer artwork, the development of the characters. Wow. I wish everyone could find this movie enjoyable and make it amazingly successful, but at the same time I'm glad that in a way it's mine.
Freddy Got Fingered (2001)
An exercise in horrible.
Freddy Got Fingered is amazing. Amazing, in the fact that it is probably the worst movie I have ever scene. I can enjoy the Tom Green Show from time to time, but this movie provided me none of the enjoyment of the show.
The plot of the movie is non-existant, allbeit that the film belongs to a genre where a lack of plot is sometimes acceptable, typically when coupled with humor. The humor in Freddy Got Fingered is however, as non-existant as the plot.
It doesn't surprise me that Tom Green's movie is as bad as it is, but shame on Harlan Williams, Drew Berrymore, Anthony Michael Hall, and other actor that's produced an enjoyable film for participating in it.
To sum it up... This movie was soooo bad that it prompted me to post my first comment here on IMDB.
