Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

joshyr-987-939529 Non stop hilarity from start to finish - if you haven't seen this movie you really need to ASAP.Great script, and the amazing ensemble cast is fantastic. David O Russell's first film is his best, as well as one of the seminal comedies of the 1990s.One of those rare comedies that I can watch over and over - the soundtrack fits the film like a glove. Ben Stiller has made quite a few movies since this early one, but none come close to this one (with the exception of There's Something About Mary).See this film - you won't be sorry.

Mr Black This movie was what I would call "Okay" but some of the scenes were a little too contrived and too predictable. I did like Lilly Tomlin and Alan Alda, and Patricia Arquette was good also. But I found the direction rather odd. Some scenes done with a hand held camera come off as amateurish - like they couldn't afford a steady came so they had the guy walk with the camera. Also several shots seem to be done from a moving car - again, kind of amateurish. The strangest thing i thought was the lighting and over all feel of the film. There is absolutely no warmth to the filming at all. It almost looked like the entire thing was shot for television on video. Ben Stiller was good though. I usually like his films and characters.

Foxbarking I know that this movie has been lauded by many people. I also know that it annoys me how everyone has to start a "Worst movie ever" thread on the IMDb message boards for every movie. These are both pet peeves of mine. However I must say that no movie in my entire life has been as bad or as boring as "Flirting With Disaster."This was actually the first movie with Ben Stiller I ever watched. I have tended to avoid his movies afterwards, with the sole gem of his entire career being "Mystery Men." There was not one laugh in this film for me. The writing was cliché and boring. The characters are all despicable people who I never developed an iota of sympathy for. All this movie ends up being is a couple hours of my life which are among the most excruciating. Avoid it with a passion.

kenjha An adopted man goes searching for his birth parents. Hilarity ensues. Not really. Actually there are zero laughs for the first half hour or so. The first chuckle is supplied when Brolin enters the picture as a gay Federal agent. From that point, it becomes mildly amusing, thanks to a terrific cast. It's nice to see the likes of Moore, Segal, Tomlin, and Alda, although sexual scenes of these old-timers is the kind of imagery one does not want lingering in the mind. This film provided Stiller with a career template for playing neurotic men who keep encountering disaster, but the script here is not as witty and the plot not as engaging as some of his later efforts.
