Appeals to me but Not to others, 30 June 2006
8/10
Author: bfscr1 from United Kingdom

We all have a different sense of humour to the next guy and this movie truly completes my quest for a surreal comedy.

I love this movie's originality, what other movie is similar to this in anyway? It throws jokes every minute start to end, most comedies don't do that. Instead there's always a serious 5 minutes and will have a weak joke.

Most people will say I'm immature for my opinion but in all fairness, we're afraid of expressing our actual sense of humour. I can see it when I see a person try their hardest not to laugh at a simple fart noise.

Tom Green's purpose was obvious to remove the comedy barrier and do the things that society frowns upon. Initially I though throwing a baby around by the umbilical cord was really bad to do in a comedy but it made me laugh like a child.

My opinion on other people's comments? Either they prefer a different type of comedy or even a genre which I respect or they aren't ready for such a movie.
