You consider "Napoleon Dynamite" to be kind, gentle humor? I cringed in more sympathetic embarrassment while watching that movie than I have in a long time.

I definetly cringe at embarassment humour... Eeee.
But, Amelie really is a delightful movie. I think the New Peter Pan movie is funny in bits. Can't think of any other ones... I don't know if I am a big fan of most comedies, but Wedding Singer is really cute and sweet. I also liked 50 First Dates. I doubt you'd like 40 year old virgin, but that movie was sweeter and funnier than I thought it would be, better than Wedding Crashers which just annoyed me. Do people actually fall for lines like that?

I think my interpretation of Napoleon Dynamite is colored by having grown up in the area where it is set. For me, I found all the characters very lovable, because I knew them all from when I was young. It's sort of nostalgic for me.

I'd recommend a couple of Steve Martin movies that I think were miles ahead of The Jerk that made the Bravo list. The Man with Two Brains and All of Me are two of my all time favorite goofy, funny movies. I'd also suggest Midnight Run although I don't think I'd classify it as a happy funny movie, more in the sarcastic funny vein.

Well, some of it is very raunchy... I watched the unedited version and sometimes my sense of humour gets like that. *big fan of South Park and idiotic puns* But I liked that movie because it was actually rather sweet outside of all the dumb male remarks about sex, but they learned stuff and he learned stuff and-
Spoiler-
They waited until they got married to have sex. That was interesting.

I hate... Will Ferrel. He annoys me so much... It wasn't exactly a stupid sex movie. I didn't expect to like it, but it really wasn't so bad and made me think a bit too.
But, after American Pie, enough stupid teenager sex movies. Especially when they have gross jokes with no warmth between the characters.

Because it's not out on DVD in the states yet? I know I always forget about it because I don't actually have it.
I know this probably won't be what you're looking for, but I have to agree with everyone who has said Blazing Saddles. I just watched that with my parents the other night (again) and loved it. Posts: 3932 | Registered: Sep 1999
