Fun movie, even if you're not a fan of the movies it spoofs

If you're a fan of spoofs, then watch this!  Even if you haven't watched the movies it parodies ... I haven't, but I really enjoyed this film.  It's a fun, funny movie.  Sean Young is especially great in this role.

There are a few conditions required for "getting" this movie.  You have to understand a few things before getting the jokes.  Probably the most important thing is that you've seen Boys 'N The Hood and/or Menace II  Society.  These two movies contain the majority of the spoofs seen in Don't  Be A Menace...  There are also references to Poetic Justice, Juice, and  Higher Learning.  Without having seen the first two, most people will  probably not get the jokes.  Secondly, if you're into the hip hop culture,  this movie will be a lot funnier.  There's a lot of play on words from the  rap lingo that you won't get if you haven't listened to it.
I really  enjoyed this movie.  It's a hilarious spoof of gangsta movies and gangsta  rap.  Keenan Ivory Wayans' cameos were hilarious.  Shawn and Marlon make a  great comedy team.  It's just too bad they don't get more exposure (they're  TV show on WB is hilarious, too).  It's all tongue in cheek fun pointed at  the harsher looks at inner city life that we get from movies and  music.
If you're one of those people that hates movies like Naked Gun,  Airplane, and Spaceballs, this movie is definitely not for you.  Otherwise,  pick it up and try not to fall off the couch :)

A fun (if not nostalgic) movie that rehashes the style and actors of 80's (and 90's) action movies.

Antitrust is a fun movie about the life of a computer programmer who works for a Bill Gates clone. Basically it's a Hollywood version of the Microsoft campus and culture. Though many people will disagree with me I did quite enjoy it in the theater and would like to see a deluxe Blu-ray release (however unlikely). Almost all the characters and plot devices are cliche and they haven't aged well at all. It's almost like an early version of "The Social Network." It seems to spoof itself at times so you can't take it too seriously. Tim Robbins is great if somewhat over the top. Rachael Leigh Cooke and Claire Forlani play their parts well and Ryan Philippe is likable enough as the lead. Overall, it is enjoyable if you want a light popcorn movie. Many scenes make me laugh so you have to be prepared to suspend disbelief and just have fun with it. It ended up being a complete flop with a $30 million budget but only managed to gross $11 million at the box office. However, it isn't as bad as that and certainly no worse than any recent thriller. If you liked Hackers you may appreciate this movie as well. Neither made the jump to Blu-ray. Admittedly, technology changes so fast so it's not going to satisfy its presumed core audience now (nor did it when it was originally released). Antitrust is much better than The Net which was produced a few years earlier than this film. This is a 4 star film in a 3 star release.

After viewing this film, I cannot understand why so many people gave this film a low rating. I thought it was a perfectly acceptable fun and light-hearted approach to The Lion King. The Lion King scenes that people said The Lion King 1 1/2 desecrated were not desecrated at all. No matter how sensitive the scene was. Of course, the movie cannot be compared to The Lion King...but only total morons would think that the makers of this film planned on making this film so that it would be comparable to The Lion King. It's a parody people - accept that. I agree with other reviewers of this film when they say that the people at Disney were just trying to make some easy cash by releasing this film, but how does that harm us if the movie fulfills its purpose? It does live up to the trailer, at least, and people often view movies depending on their opinion of a movie's trailer. This is not the type of movie which I would watch repeatedly, but it is a good flick to pick if you are a Lion King fan. It also reminds me a lot of the Timon & Pumbaa cartoon series, so if you liked that cartoon series, then you will like this movie. I definitely favor this film over all of the other direct-to-video pre/mid/sequels, including Lion King II: Simba's Pride.

Not high art by any stretch,  but a good hack 'em up movie.

This movie is a spoof and has some really funny moments and lots of C movie cheese and boobs. I am sure the makers of this little movie were not going for grand cinema and this should not be expected here. If you're in the mood for a fun and cheesy movie with lots of silly jokes, gags, breasts and nonsense than you would do well to check it out.

Don't expect a Hollywood epic and you'll be fine...

I admit this is a guilty pleasure and that I'm not in the age group. As a Disney Channel movie, it's not high art or anything but it's good cheesy fun. There are some very funny lines and the cast is good and manage to elevate the lines. The songs aren't super memorable, but they're decent and the choreography is really good.

Silly and cheap . . . but a reasonably fun movie to watch.

A great feel good movie with lots of corny humor.  Excellent spoof on dating and romance.  Many well know faces in the cast.  Certainly not a "masterpiece", but if you're looking for about an hour and a half of some mindless fun, this may be the movie for you.

This film spoofs not only hollywood, but the cultists as well. In that respect, I actually found this to be entertaining and funny.

This was a pleasant surprise when I rented it back in my youth. The movie was made by people who love older horror movies and has some idea of what makes them fun.
  Film students are looking to raise money to save an old theater and throw an all night horror movie marathon showing several old movies and a recently found copy of a film made by a filmmaker that killed his family after making it and was thought to be lost. As the movies get ready to start someone starts bumping off the kids and teachers.
  The fun of this one is the "Older" Movies that are shown. They did a great job of making these look,sound ,and feel real and they are as much fun as the main plot. Not everyone will like or get it, but if horror movies old or new are your thing, this is a fun and funny one to have.

I really enjoyed this movie.
Probably, as a movie, only three stars (not bad, but not spectacular).
Four stars for enjoyment factor (Five stars for Anglophiles - which I am).
Five stars for the performances which are very good.
So... four star average.
The first two thirds is fluffy fun but the last third is where the heart of the movie really takes hold. I actually have seen this movie twice. It is not perfect movie making, but great fun, and touches on some interesting (albeit not original) ideas. It's not revolutionary, but that is fine. I like sentimental.

This was a very fun movie, not the greatest; but it was fun.

I could not get into the original Despicable Me, but I liked this movie a lot better. Its environment is still funny in relation with its franchise and a lot of fun. The minions are still really funny, and the three girls are settled in with Gru like normal adopted daughters. Also, since Gru is a loving father, there is legitimate balance with his clumsiness and his sometimes violent behavior. Another thing I like about this movie is its heart. Agnes seems to be the closest to Gru in this movie and wants a mommy, which foreshadows what the movie is going to be anout. And speaking of which, Lucy is another great new aspect. She is funny, quick, and really sweet. When Gru was dating that other weird woman, I was afraid Lucy would accuse him of cheating on her-but no! She helps him get rid of her! I really liked that. I also though the song "Happy" was really catchy-heck, they played it at my cousin's wedding last year! My only problem is, like the first, Dr. Nefario. He still doesn't really change, he still isn't funny-yeah. He does help Gru and the girls stop the badguy in the climax, but I am still not really a fan of that guy. But everything else in this movie is very delightful and fun. So far, I think this is the best out of the Despicable Me franchise.

Baggage Claim isn't the most emotionally complex of rom coms, nor is it exactly the most plausible, but it is of the fun if you don't overthink it sort.  The cast is superb, particularly Paula Patton and Derek Luke.  While the story doesn't feel entirely original at times and the humor trends toward silly more often than not, the message of basically being happy with oneself is uplifting and somewhat inspirational.  Even with the expected (not to mention more or less telegraphed ending) the film is a fun way to pass 90 odd minutes.  It's nice to see a film like this now and again - something that's got a touch of complexity but a shorter run time but never completely takes itself seriously.

I love this movie!  But it's a "B" monster movie so if that's not your thing than you might rate it a 3-3.5 star.  "It doesnt break new ground but I, Frankenstein is not the ridiculous train wreck that some hardcore movie buffs were expecting. The film is unlikely to win-over potential viewers that were never on-board with the (arguably) campy premise, but for fantasy action fans that have been entertained by similar updates to movie monsters in the past, I, Frankenstein successfully delivers enough slick action choreography and interesting mythology to provide fun (though admittedly dopey) escapism. If nothing else, Grevioux and Beattie have established an interesting sandbox  one that, given a stronger story and more developed characters, might even be worth revisiting." from [...]
