State your unpopular film related opinion - Part 9

[Mrs. Sawyer]

lol tell that to my co-workers, they're always raving about the American Pie movies, including the straight to dvd ones.

Most people don't find it that good. They're meh.

 

[MadVillainy]

Really? Most people I know think at least the first one is hilarious. I liked 1,2, and Reunion. And I liked Naked Mile and Beta House in a "so bad it gave me herpes" kinda way

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

The movie series' popularity pretty much waned in years. They're entertaining, but I don't think people rave about it that much.

 

[CConn]

But that's how most comedies work.

Still, American Pie was probably one of theiggest comedies of the 90s.

 

[Majik1387]

How can anyone dislike the American Pie movies?

[charl_huntress]

I really like the movie Sheena and have it on DVD.

 

[jonathancrane]

I do not find the American Pie movies amusing, either.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

How can anyone dislike the American Pie movies?

Difference of opinion?

I actually don't dislike the movies. I've seen all of them, even the DTV ones which are so bad, but they're like car crashes. I have nothing against the American Pie movies. I do enjoy them a lot. I just don't think many people actually do find it great, or as great as other 90s comedies.

But that's how most comedies work.

I don't think that's happened to some comedies, like Dumb and Dumber, Big Lebowski, There's Something Like Mary or the Apatow movies last decade such as Anchorman or 40 year Old Virgin.

 

[Travesty]

I think I've only seen the first American Pie movie.

 

[Majik1387]

Anchorman, now there's a bad comedy movie.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

You're mad because Brian Fontana stole your man wearing sex panther.

60% of the time, it works every time.

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Someone never watched Anchorman.

 

[Majik1387]

I have, just didn't find the funny, and also not fluent in the movie's quotes.

 

[CConn]

Did you only watch it once?

 

[Majik1387]

One full time through. If someone was watching it on tv, usually it has commercials, and considering I didn't like it on first viewing, I didn't really watch it even with breaks.

 

[Travesty]

Likes American Pie, but couldn't find the funny in Anchorman?

 

[CConn]

A lot of people don't find it funny the first time, but absolutely love it on subsequent viewings.

 

[Majik1387]

Likes American Pie, but couldn't find the funny in Anchorman?

I'm a 90's kid
But yeah, Anchorman just did nothing for me. I just don't like the director's brand of comedy.

 

[Matt Mortem]

A lot of people don't find it funny the first time, but absolutely love it on subsequent viewings.

It worked the same way for me. I saw it in theaters and it didn't strike me as hilarious as it was when I saw on home video with my buddies. Now it's one of my favorite comedies of all time.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I also found it funnier on subsequent viewing. I liked it the first time, but then I loved it the more I watched it.


I also felt the same way about (500) Days of Summer. I liked it the first time I watched it, really liked it the second, and then I loved it the more I watched it.

 

[Drizzle]

The last two pages of this thread are full of suck.

 

[I Am Jack's...]

This seems to be an unpopular opinion: I never had much of a problem with Daniel Radcliffe as Potter. I haven't watched the first 2 in a long time, but I've seen POA through DH2 plenty of times and I never really agreed with all of those saying he was so bad. I thought he handled himself well in those movies and gave solid performances *shrugs*

 

[DarkSovereignty]

same here, in fact I look forward to seeing more from him, I thought he was great in woman in black.
