If you're gonna have a big fat woman in there she'd better be EXCEPTIONALLY funny......looks like I won't be watching this for the same reason I don't watch Seven Days.<br><br>
The first scene in the trailer is a shocking rip off of the original.</p></blockquote>

It just looks like an SNL sketch parodying the film. I just can't get my head around why they would take such a strong and popular brand like Ghostbusters and turn it into some kind of cheesy chick flick. I thought they actually liked making money in Hollywood. -

<p>If anything this has made me want to dig out a copy of the original and have a gander and see if it's stood the test of time, it would be damn near 20 years since I last saw it.</p> -
Yeah it looks like they've tried to make it a dumb "comedy" with lots of stupid one liners, which is not what the originals were like at all. Lame.

I see Sacha Baron Cohen's latest film has bombed , I always thought he was a bit of an overrated one trick pony anyway so I'm not surprised . What does surprise me is that anyone in the movie industry thinks anyone would want to see Rebel Wilson on the big screen and hd . <br>
Ffs, no, just no. -
<p>I liked the dictator far more than Borat and quite a bit more than Bruno. Disappointing to read that it might be no good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rebel Wilson that's her name. Looks like a fucken talking Whale, based on her success that foul mouthed lard ass from Seven Days will rule Hollywood in a year or two.</p> -
Borat was just " let's all laugh at Johnny Foreigner while sneering at the yanks" , never saw the dictator . Stoked he's not playing Freddy Mercury too. <br><br>
I don't find Rebel Wilson in any way funny or entertaining , I'm sure her directors gave a contingency plan in case she loses a foot to diabetes part way through a film. -
<p>Given the Dictator was an actual film rather than "everyone is in on the joke except the yanks" like Bruno and Borat I thought it was fucken good entertainment. Some awesome laughs in there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Borat is a bit like Anchorman, everyone quotes it but it isn't actually very funny.</p> -
<p>Sacha Baron Cohen + Rebel Lardarse = Train wreck.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On to other films. Last Knights. Sword and samurai flick with Clive Owen and Cliff Curtis, plus cameo appearance by Morgan Freeman. Sadly nothing these three could do to save this crock of shit. Obviously just a pay check for each of them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Avoid.</p> -
Oh shit i watched a bit of that the other night on Foxtel. Why did credible actors agree to that steaming pile of shit? It's really awful. <br><br>
I thought Borat was pretty fucking funny actually. <br><br>
Semi Pro was on last night. That's a funny fucking movie. -
Is that the Butler one or the Tatum one? Both are great fun
-
Yea that's my favourite too. It's funnier

<p>I prefer the one where they were doing burnouts around the whitehouse in a suv. The name of the film is not important,<strong> I'd sit through either one again.</strong></p>

</blockquote>
<p>I'm the opposite, I thought the Tatum one was better, but I wouldn't watch either again and wish I hadn't watched the Butler one the first time. 14 year old me might have liked them but then 14 year old me probably recently saw Die Hard so he'd likely thumb his nose at them too. </p>

<p>MR and I likely have dictionaries with completely different definitions of the word classic.</p> -

<p>The first time I watched Borat there were scenes I couldn't breath I was laughing so hard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Watched Daddys Home with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. Yo9u know what you're getting and it's fairly predictable (unsurprisingly) but still worth the 90mins of your life. 3 out of 5.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Spotlight. Great cast dealing with systemic child sex abuse in Boston. Excellent movie. </p> -
I took the kids to Daddy's Home. I laughed a lot, the kids laughed when someone got hurt

You have a hate-boner for Will Ferrell though -
Isn't there another Butler one of the Whitehouse, but set in London, England out now...?
-
Add me to the Borat was so funny I struggled to breath group. Best first date movie ever! Weirdly enough I didn't thunk much of Anchorman but that might have been because I was late to the party watching it so had heard it all quoted and blown out of proportion before I saw it. I also like Rebel Wilson though I have only seen her in Pitch Perfect which was definitely one of the better chick flicks going.

<p>London is Falling.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I enjoyed, but probably more cheesy than the first. Not much a spoiler to say they decimate London</p>
