The Stupids, me and brothers must have rented it 15 times. Still love it.

Oh and every now and then I catch myself humming “I’m my own grandpa”

:hellyeah:

Only blemish on the movie is the way the pets are shoehorned in with very 90s CGI, otherwise it is immaculate.

I rented Surf Ninja's so often as a kid. I loved that the bad guy was the dude I loved from Police Squad and Naked Gun.

Oh yeah, that was a pretty good one. Probably the funniest Rob Schneider has ever been.

Has anyone said the Popeye movie starring Robin Williams and Shelley Duval? Because that is one meandering, brown rear end movie. Also its a musical for some reason and the songs are all god awful. But the casting is on point, Shelley Duval as Olive Oil was honestly inspired casting and the whole movie is full of these wacky cartoon sight gags. Its baffling and terrible and I love it.

:same:

It's so earnest. They didn't know how to make it into a good movie but they put 110% into being exactly what it is.

oh yeah, for new content: So I Married An Axe Murderer. Mike Myers sucks and it's a bad movie but I love all of Anthony LaPaglia's bits as the nice guy cop who really wants his life to be a hardass cop movie.

EDIT: does Empire Records count as a bad movie that everyone hates? Anthony LaPaglia was just a lot of fun in general

Everyone else is great! Someone just made the regrettable decision to put Mike Myers on camera for the entire runtime of the movie, which is generally a mistake.

I guess he's fine as the yelling Scottish dad, he's ok in small doses. That would have been a fine use of Mike Myers if they hadn't also cast him as the main character.

Imperador do Brasil posted:

Penelope Spheeris, director of Wayne’s World, was basically given the choice: do the film Mike’s way and he will let you direct a sequel if there is one, or make the movie your way and forget about a return. She did it her way, the movie was amazing, and Myers said adios.

Well, she made the right call, it's the best Mike Myers has ever been as a movie lead.

I think Myers is (was?) actually pretty legit as a sketch comic and his movie roles succeed or fail based on how much they lean into that. Wayne's World with its frequent fourth wall breaks and goofy random interludes manages to hold onto that energy in a way that his more serious attempts (like Axe Murderer) do not. If he had gone the route of Monty Python and just said "ok, I'm going to do what I do best and just string a bunch of loosely connected but funny 3-5 minute bits into a barely coherent plot" instead of trying to be a serious actor I think everyone would have been a lot happier.

Ladykillers was fine, it was a weird slow burn and not up to usual Coen standards but it had a good vibe.
