The Brothers Grimsby Review







  1. I find modern comedies to be difficult to watch only because you can tell that they're trying to hard and failing miserably. Sadly, I think it's mostly because studios just don't know what makes a good comedy. It's movies like this that make me wish that modern comedic filmmakers would look and learn from classic comedies. I mean, there has to be a reason why those jokes have lasted decades and are still funny while modern comedies are forgettable after a day. It just boggles my mind when it comes to comedy films.

    1. Sorry it has been a bit since I have replied to any comments Cody. Fell behind on writing in general for a while, holidays, all that stuff.

      I completely agree with what you said. It's amazing to me how funny some films can be going back all the way to the 20's, how the silent era was able to master the art of slapstick humor yet decades later people have no idea how to execute it. Moving ahead to my life time, to the comedies I grew up loving, rarely does anything released during recent years feel like it has even close to the potential to still mean something years from now, to still resonate with audiences down the road.
