s_albert Went for eleven straight years without a drink. What happened? Turned twelve.While it's not the most ingenious piece of comedy ever contrived, it doesn't deserve the thrashing it's gotten on IMDb. If the prudes could get off their high horses long enough, they'd see that this movie is funny! Perhaps it's an acquired taste, but vulgar humour can be hilarious if you allow it to be. But we are a fickle and very led society, sometimes unable to enjoy things for what they are - the key word there is enjoy. At some point I hope the pickles come out of the butts and people remember how to laugh again because with the number of negative reviews by uptight individuals, it seems our forgot-about-fun society has a long way to go.
MrPink08 Yes, everyone loves the Scary Movies and Hot Shots, but spoof films have really gotten out of hand. With disasters like Epic Movie, Date Movie, Superhero Movie, etc, is there really anything left to be spoofed? Sure, I'm a guy who likes stupid comedies with bathroom humor, crotch kicks and all that stuff, but those movies just abuse it. Enter The Comebacks, a stupid, yet entertaining, take on the inspirational sports flick.David Koechner (best known as Champ Kind from Anchorman) finally gets a well deserved lead role and makes the most of it. Sure, all he does is act like a complete moron, but that's what Koechner does best. He just simply looks like he's having fun being a complete moron. Carl Weathers, a veteran of the Rocky films, lends a small supporting hand. There are some funny cameos by folks such as Dennis Rodman and Frank Caliendo. Some of the films spoofed successfully include Friday Night Lights, Remember the Titans, Rudy, Rocky and Coach Carter. Some sad spoof attempts are made at films such as Radio and Stick It. On the other hand, those who watch ESPN will like seeing sports issues spoofed such as the Duke lacrosse scandal, and Terrell Owens.So, if you're the type of person who's willing to laugh at stupid things...enjoy! If not, just skip and save everyone the complaining.
patrickwlangille I wouldn't say that it's the worst spoof movie, it does have some humor that some people may find overused though. There's a lot of sex jokes and jokes about sexuality. Doesn't make up for recent movies of the genre. On Youtube there are these really dumb promos with this ridiculously large breasted cheerleader who's obviously a future porn star. It didn't bring up any hype for the movie though, not even when she made out with her friend who's basically her only blonde. If you care, you just search "cheer confessions" it's utter gibberish to what she is talking about. Thank God this wasn't the work of the two writer's of scary movie, let's hope that they'll be better parodies or they at least wait a few years before they bring these movies out because they just show that Hollywood is running out of ideas.
titolee06 As you know, movies such as Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet The Spartans, etc. are coming out and doing well in the box office for like a week and then they fall off the grid. Why? Well the answer is simple...the movie is freaking retarded. I mean come on, a movie based on spoofs from another movie would sound like it might produce a few laughs, but I think many agree that we laughed at first and then never watched them again. They could just never click because the writers are probably some drunk college kids who said one night after taking a massive hit from their bong, "DUDE!! I GOT IT!! LETS, LIKE, MAKE A MOVIE...OFF ANOTHER MOVIE!!!" and then voilà, we have crap on the screen yet again.This movie is no different. Except for the fact that when I laughed, my laugher's were meaningful. I laughed for a least 30 seconds and not just a quick giggle. This movie did pretty well on its spoofs but at many times it was just so unrealistic that it really downed the potential this movie may have had. Some of the timing didn't match, and you know I could go on forever but I'll just stop and say if you really have nothing else better to do, then maybe just give this a watch and laugh a little and then move on with your life. A rental may suffice but don't buy it.
