Not that all Red-Letter Movies are bad...
Jim Carrey seems to be the king of watchable Red-Letter Movies (assuming that, like me, you enjoy his schtick anyway). He started out with Red-Letter Movies (Ace Ventura, Dumb & Dumber), dallied with a couple of Green-Letter movies (The Mask, The Grinch) and has frequently popped back to Red-Letter Movies (Truman Show, Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty (let's ignore 'Fun' With Dick And Jane)). |

Don't tell me his Fun with Dick and Jane was good. I refuse to believe you. I saw the original with George Segal and Jane Fonda, and it was a true gem. I cannot understand why they had to remake it, unless they wanted to pander to the ADD/ADHD audiences who can't laugh at anthing that isn't slapsick.
BAH!
(Went to see it at a double-feature, where we saw this first and King Kong (1976) afterwards. We loved it so much, we stayed on to see it a second time so we could leave the theatre with smiles on our faces, instead of the bad taste in our mouths from Kong.)

If you read Benj's post, you can see that he was agreeing with you.  |
