From IMDB:
A group of good-hearted, but incompetent misfits enter the police academy, but the instructors there are not going to put up with their pranks.
From Netflix you can stream this 1 hour 36 minute comedy from way back in 1984.
Surprising how explicitly ribald a film that is nearly 40 years old can be. Pratfalls, sight gags, and downright lewd situations gave me some genuine belly laughs. Odd, isn’t it, that I cannot find a defect in this obviously B- screwball comedy.
From IMDB:
A reclusive romance novelist on a book tour with her cover model gets swept up in a kidnapping attempt that lands them both in a cutthroat jungle adventure.
From Amazon Prime you can stream this 1 hour 51 minute comedy film.
Sandra Bullock comedies offer an easy way to relax. Here she teams up with Channing Tatum, Brad Pitt, and Daniel Radcliffe. Bullock continues to look good whereas Tatum might be ageing past his young hunk persona. Pitt’s part of the story comes to an unexpected end. Radcliffe’s agent continues to develop his client’s role variety.
Amazing how Bullock and Tatum can hold their breath and swim for several minutes through an underwater tunnel!
Surprisingly vulgar and explicit at times, but still the kind of fun you would expect from a Bullock comedy.
From Kanopy:
The producer of American Pie presents a hilarious look at what happens when two mid-level sales associates are DEMOTED to the company secretarial pool.
From Kanopy you can stream this 95 minute piece of funny, barely acceptable trash.
Today it seems there are no holds barred on what salacious things you can say out loud in a film. Needless to say the film was rated Restricted for crude (to say the least) language.
David Cross, who played Tobias Funke in “Arrested Development”, was the only actor I recognized. As a hapless villain he is quite successful.
If nothing else recommends the film, at least it is funny and has a happy, sappy ending.
I LOVE TRASH!
From Amazon Prime:
A couple steals a Matisse painting on contract. They manage to escape the police. The sale takes place 4 days later on an island. Things don’t go as planned.
From Amazon Prime you can stream this 1 hour 35 minute comedy.
When you just want to relax and have a few laughs you cannot beat a Sandra Bullock movie. Pratfalls always provoke a belly laugh from me even though I should not fall (get it?) for such nonsense.
However, here and in many of her films there is some amount of seriousness. In “All About Steve” she is encouraged to accept her very different personality. In “Two If By Sea” she works to convince her professional thief of a boy friend to go straight, talk meaningfully to her, and get a job.
What a relief such films can be!
From Amazon Prime:
The Proposal’s Sandra Bullock, Oscar nominee Thomas Haden Church, and The Hangover’s Bradley Cooper star in a hilarious tale of a woman who, after falling hard for a guy, thinks they’re an item; unfortunately, he thinks she’s stalking him!
From Amazon Prime you can stream this 1 hour 38 minute comedy film. Hurry, because this riot of a film leaves Amazon on November 1, 2021.
Sandra Bullock’s Mary Horowitz creates crossword puzzles for a newspaper. She is a walking and constantly talking encyclopedia of assorted factoids. Her script must have been difficult to memorize because it truly is non-stop and exhausting to hear, let alone recite.
What makes the film fun to watch are the pratfalls. Ignore the beginning encounter between Mary and Bradley Cooper’s Steve in his auto where Mary naively throws herself at Steve, because that is not in keeping with the rest of the film.
Both Kathy and I could not stop laughing.
