Bill Cosby: Himself (1983)
I was there in person...
The show was on my birthday, May 7th. I sat immediately to the left of the big Panavision camera just behind the soundboard, in the middle of the orchestra seats. I was with my then fiancé and I remember that it was the funniest show I had ever seen. They talk about splitting your sides laughing, but that night I was in real pain from laughing so hard before the show was halfway through. I was sore the next day too! It was a classic! You will not regret watching this film! I have watched the film many times since and it is still almost as funny as that night. I think that this film and Delirious by Eddie Murphy and Never Scared with Chris Rock are the three funniest stand up (or in Bill Cosby's case sit down), shows I have ever watched on screen.
Get Smart (2008)
Jaw droppingly bad!!!
This movie is in the same league as Ishtar. Lots of wasted talent. Who let this bomb escape? When Sigfried says an example has to be made, in reference to a nuclear bomb, I said "Please let it be this theatre!" Don't waste your time. Not even worth a free rental! And where did they get these shills to fill the comments section on IMDb? I can't believe that anyone who has ever seen the original series enjoyed this stinker. Steve Carell is not a physical comedian. If they removed the "comedy" and made it a straight action movie, it could pass. What the heck was the purpose of the dance scene? Also, the fat jokes and references were tasteless. This movie never missed a chance to go for the lowest common denominator and scenes just ended, it seemed, as if no one thought them through. Just awful! Save your time, if not money and give this movie a pass!
