Plus, he can play the badass and play the funny one. He has the makings of a movie star. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-17730705162561780412015-08-24T07:19:42.633-07:002015-08-24T07:19:42.633-07:00I can't say I hated The Hangover I just though...I can't say I hated The Hangover I just thought it was stupid and went on for too long. Everybody kept telling me how hysterical it was and I was left wondering if we'd seen the same movie. <br /><br />I've never seen White Chicks but I do love Terry Crews. He's great on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-65829649624782108262015-08-21T13:56:04.961-07:002015-08-21T13:56:04.961-07:00@ruth-Exactly.

Keenan Ivory Wayans knows what he's doing as he knows he's not going to make anything believable in terms of bad makeup jobs or idiotic visual effects. That is part of the gimmick which does make it funny and be self-aware of how bad it is. Even if they're working with a very low budget. <br /><br />Compare that to the bullshit that Adam Sandler makes or those awful Friedberg/Seltzer parodies. They have access to money and don't do anything to make it funny but rather think they're smarter than all of us. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-46263039088854191962015-08-21T08:55:33.622-07:002015-08-21T08:55:33.622-07:00That's the thing.

Sometimes they expect a Shakespearean quality or whatever from EVERY movie, instead of judging something for what it is.Ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-6196951332781915392015-08-20T21:11:24.909-07:002015-08-20T21:11:24.909-07:00@ruth-There's good low-brow comedy and then th...@ruth-There's good low-brow comedy and then there's bad comedy and what makes <i>White Chicks</i> work is the fact that it doesn't take itself seriously and knows that it is being ridiculous. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-80719537079541050422015-08-20T18:52:18.828-07:002015-08-20T18:52:18.828-07:00Glad you participated in this one too Steven!

Anyone who butchers a NIN song is a dead motherfucker. You don't want to mess with Nine Inch Nails fans.<br /><br />@Big Screen Small Words-The Chow character is one of the most loathsome characters in film. Why did people thinkhe was funny. I really hate that character.<br /><br />@Brittani-I didn't like that song at first but Terry Crews made me love it.<br /><br />@Fisti-It's amazing that a guy like that who can be a full-on badass is also very funny and isn't afraid to be sensitive. He was the only thing in <i>Blended</i> that I liked.
