I am glad she survived

I know I has 2 of the finest comic talents in the business, Billy Crystal and Tiffany Haddish, but IS it a comedy?
I havent watched yet, so I have only seen the trailer, seems a bit like Funny People, where it was a Comedy, but with dramatic element. I guess I should just watch it to see?

Perhaps, one of the funniest, interviews you will ever see. However, the discussion is not filled with “jokes”-Confused?-you will have to watch to see what I mean

Last movie of Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe—-She especially had aged terribly in this picture

I would never have heard of Michelle Macnamara, Had I not been such a fan of Comedian Patton Oswalt (although he is well known, I wouldnt call Oswalt a Superstar), I havent yet read her story on tracking the Golden State Killer-the case which was solved after her sudden passing in 2016, but looking forward to hearing about it

NOT a Comedy. When I first heard that Comedians Vince Vaughn and Kevin James were teaming up together for a “comedy”-I thought, “Great, These guys are always funny”, However this movie is in my opinion, not a Comedy.
Naturally, there is typical Vaughn riffs and improvisation-but the heart of the story and where they say the “comedy” is, is in fact the anxiety and misadventures that Vince Vaughns’ character, gets into, after discovering that James’ wife (Winona Ryder) is cheating on him with another guy (Channing Tatum)-If it was just one spouse cheating, I guess it could be considered funny, but bare in mind, we spend the first hour and a half of the film, seeing Vaughn make up crazy stories, and excuses, to avoid telling his wife (Jennifer Connelly) and others-that he saw Ryders character with Tatums’ character. Half way through the film, Vaughns character realizes that Nick (James) character, is also “sort of” cheating on Geneva (Ryder) by going to a massage parlour. The strange thing, is that everyone seems to know about the what is going on, except for Nick. And at the end, when the truth comes out, that Geneva has been cheating on Nick-Nicks behaviour is never mentioned and obviously Nick leaves his wife, but to me, it seems that BOTH parties are guilty of cheating. Anyway, its just a movie, but I just feel as though the story wasnt as satisfying as it could have been. I think A) Even though James Character didnt kiss or fornicate with the Masseuse (Where as Ryders character, got very close to Tatums’) that they could have worked it out or at least tried to figure out why It didnt work. As is the case in all his movies, Kevin James comes off as the victim/Hero (Hitch, Paul Blart)and Ryder is vilified. I guess everyone has a different idea of “Comedy”. Directed by Richie Cunningham himself, Ron Howard-I wonder how he got dragged into this unusual story. I just wonder if anyone else felt unsatisfied with the ending?

Ben Stiller is executive producer. Not the main star(s)

Favourite Scene: Franklin (Jonah Hill) “Damn it Mom, stay out of my room, I dont go through your stuff”
After his friends had gone
“Sorry Mom, my friends were here, I was trying to be a big man” (kisses mom on the forehead)

One of Robin Williams final movies
Maybe its just me, but I noticed towards his final years, Robin Williams was perhaps not as zany as he once was (To the guys credit, he was in his early 60s). Of course when I found out he had died my first reaction was “Am I hearing this right?”-We now know, that he was unknowingly battling lewy body dementia and he was going through a rough time whilst filming, but when I saw this film in 2014, I just thought what a treat it was to see him onscreen, if only we had know what he was going through”-It does make it a little sadder knowing that he died in August that year, and also Mickey Rooney (not a big Rooney fan) passed way in April 2014 at age 93 (a little more expected than Williams). This is a very clean, family friendly movie, with no graphic scenes or nudity. Sorry to be a hater, but I thought Rebel Wilsons “acting” was not that great. Tho I am not a fan of anything she does=so dont worry about it people!

I think this is better than the original, but its just one guys view

Michael J Fox guest stars

Regarding my former update. I would just say that while it was an escape for a while, its probably not a movie that I would watch again. The problem, I think at least, with Dark Comedys, is that they dwell on a dark subject matter, but the “humour” comes from the person (In this case, Allison Janney) dealing with the fact that her husband (Matthew Modine) died from a heart attack, whilst cheating on her with another woman (Comedian Bridget Everett) and Janneys character acting as though her husbands death was accidental, or that he was missing.
A constant theme through out this movie was “I am worthwhile”, Janneys character suffered from I assume depression and low self esteem and blamed herself for her husbands behaviour. The ending-while satisfying-still had a lot of questions. In the end her character, admits that her husband died from a heart attack and comes t terms with her own insecurities (hence why she lied etc). Very similar to Three billboards outside ebbing Mo, where Frances McDormands character, vents because her child is missing the “comedy” in both of these ones was Awkwafinas character giving the finger after shooting Pete Buttons (played by Jimmi Simpson) and Clifton Collins Jr (who lost his balls in Extract) laughing and mocking as he did so-getting back to 3boem (3 billboard) McDormands humour was her swearing etc. I was the only person in the theatre, there were a few laughs, but as I said in my last review it is more a case study on the depths human beings go to when they are feeling neglected in this world

Derek and Dougie standing up to that so called Autism expert. Classic

Havent seen yet, Walter Matthau’s final movie

Remake of Cactus Flower (1969)-I think this version is better though

Sandlers first movie

NOT Robin Williams’ reason for leaving us. Not to mention Death and suicide in a forum used for entertainment. But since this was Robin Williams final show before his tragic death in August 2014, One cant help but feel a little sad, while watching this, and then thankful for God for giving the world Robin Williams.
To me, he seemed a lot more humble in this series, Of course he was in his 60s and perhaps he had grown up a little bit, when he died many thought it was because of the cancellation of the show, but as we all know now he had lewy body dementia.
He was battling Lewy Body dementia, whilst filming this series, and although Robin Williams is always funny (even in dramas, even though Crazy Ones is a comedy)-I could see the spark had gone out of him. I hope he is now at peace and we have this series to remember him by
