Balls Up
2 outta 5 Balls Up is a very dumb movie directed by Peter Farrelly who often tracks in Dumb and Dumber movies (and also Oscar winning Best Picture, Green Book). It has a doofy duo yelling at each other and making horrible decisions that quickly go wrong. It has a tangentially World Cup related plot…

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice
4 outta 5 As far as buddy gangster time travel movies go, Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is unique. The time travel aspect is kooky and nonsensical, but works for the characters’ story. There are a lot of quips from everyone that keeps things light, and yet the emotional bits hit hard. But…

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
4 outta 5 Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is very similar to the first film where it ups the carnage and adds more well-known actors to the mix. It isn’t exactly a lazy copy and paste of the original film as there are a lot of new twists here. This builds out the…

Ready Or Not (2019 review)
4 outta 5 Ready or Not is an extremely messy horror comedy that is insanely madcap, gory, tense yet also very funny from start to finish with an especially great performance by the lead actress. This takes the locked house thriller genre and throws in a bunch of people who really don’t know what they’re…

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie
5 outta 5 Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie is a gloriously absurd film about yearning for stardom, missed opportunities, the weight of history, pranks, skydiving, documentaries, friendship and the validity of Back to the Future. It is a spin-off / continuation of the TV series dating all the way back to a webseries…

Anaconda
3 outta 5 Anaconda is a decently funny meta take on the corny 1997 Anaconda film. In this movie the characters have a reverence for the original film and debate if they are making a remake, reboot, spiritual sequel, which signals what this is going to be. The chemistry of the leads are very fun,…

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues
4 outta 5 Spinal Tap II: The End Continues is a decent legacy sequel inasmuch that it doesn’t tarnish the classic film, 1984’s This Is Spinal Tap. Is it as funny or have as many interesting things to say about the music business? Definitely not. But this is still very funny with constant quips, hilarious…

The Toxic Avenger
4 outta 5 The Toxic Avenger is very silly, gross, horrific, messed up, squishy, dark, comedic and worthy of the Toxic Avenger mantle. The original 1984 film is a cult classic that is more of a gory revenge film than a comedy (although it does get incredibly dopey at times), this is more comedic, but…

Fixed
3 outta 5 There’s a Sony Pictures Animation and Netflix exclusive that is setting viewership records and that is K-Pop Demon Hunters. Which is well deserved because it is pretty awesome. And the next effort from both these companies is the raunchy balls-centric anthropomorphic animal comedy, Fixed. It’s … alright, if one doesn’t exactly look…

The Naked Gun
4 outta 5 It has been quite a while since the last Naked Gun film, but the franchise has laid dormant for so long probably because it was tied up with the iconic performance of Leslie Nielsen. He is great and those movies are great, as they are dumb but consistently hilarious. Getting Liam Neeson…
