OSS 117: Rio ne répond plus
(2009)

When Amateurs Do Comedy
This film is a great test to see if your friends have a sense of humor, because no intelligent comedy fan could enjoy this. Don't let the excuses that it's "silly" humor fool you; I love silly humor, and I truly love racial and edgy humor, and this film fails at both.

The writing is simply uninspired and feels like a rushed room full of executives wrote it rather than anyone who's ever worked as a comedy writer. The last joke of the movie is such a stinker it sums up the whole film. Bad jokes and lazy writing disguised with charm and good acting.

I saw this film in a theater full of fans who wanted desperately to love it, but an hour in the crowd went permanently silent as the onslaught of forced humor weighed on us all. Many jokes seemed like they would have been funny 40 years ago but today are so hackneyed and simplistic it's just uncomfortable and intellectually insulting.

To put it simply, if you found this movie hilarious, I'm willing to bet my life that you never make other people laugh.

Perfect Couples
(2010)

The Worst Show NBC Has Ever Produced
There are some shows that are funny to some and offensively unfunny to others (see CBS Monday Night) but Perfect Couples is so unimaginably unwatchable I find it impossible to believe that any positive reviews for it are not employees of NBC or their relatives.

The dialogue is so uninspired, poorly written, and monotonously acted it's hard to believe that it is intended to be a comedy at all. Plots are of the most intellectually insulting variety imaginable; characters are so childish and inconsistent it seems as though the show wasn't written, but improvised by people who have never been on a stage or screen before.

Unlike many who have reviewed this show, I don't lay the blame at the actors, Olivia Munn in particular. No cast that has ever existed could salvage this god awful experiment as its mediocrity flagrantly insults Community and The Office, in what must be the luckiest and most undeserved time slot in TV history.

In short, if you like this show, you hate comedy.
