'Classic' comedies that DO NOT hold up.....*shots fired*

[HHR]

Lets talk about some comedies that you loved at one point...and many even cite as classic...but really don't hold up on rewatch.

Should be an interesting debate to get us ready for the September all-time poll

For me, I'm throwing out ANIMAL HOUSE and COMING TO AMERICA........

Yeah, I watched Coming To America today. The first half is still hilarious.....but the second half is rough. They almost completely dispatch the fish-out-of-water gag that was so well done and turn into little more than an odd twist on some pretty common romantic comedy tropes.

Still an all-time great comedic performance from Murphy though

the hangover. it was dope when you watched in the movie theatres because you got to vibe with the audience.

I couldn't get into blazing saddles.

Understandable.

It plays on a lot of tropes from the western genre that will fall a little flat if you aren't familiar with them.

I still think it's hilarious, but I totally get why people don't "get it" seeing it today.

It's a great movie breh.

The 2nd half of coming to America had to get serious. That's what turns a great comedy to a overall great movie

I rarely own comedies unless it's a stand-up dvd or weed-related theme like cheech & chong, friday type flicks

 

[The Emperor]

Unrelated but related...
People are gonna go back and look at the money that "Ride Along" made and wonder how such a crappy movie made so much money...

I tried to watch number 2 and turned it off after 10 minutes, I remember liking the 1st one, but now I wonder if I ever did?
