Halfway Home (2007)
Hilarious and Fun
I think there is absolutely nothing offensive about this show, and I consider it to be better than most of the junk that Comedy Central puts out. It's at a perfect time right after south park, making it an easy time to watch because you're already sitting at the television. As said before all of the characters are idiotic stereotypes, from Allan's sheltered suburban child with a problem, to C-bass' gangster personality, when in reality all he's done is commit a few minor computer crimes. This show is hilarious, it's not offensive by any means, it's not going to win any awards, but sometimes it's nice to have something light and entertaining, and this show definitely delivers on that.
El rey de los huevones (2006)
A good guy, a perfect dumb ass
I thought it was pretty funny, it had a good underlying theme and a good combination of slapstick and other types of humor, while at the same time not getting ridiculous. And there aren't any parts that are thrown in and don't go anywhere, which I feel happens quite frequently with foreign films. It sets the pace right from the get go as far as what to expect from el Rey, he's your classic goody two shoes, he always puts himself last and others first, and other people take advantage of it. When he runs into Eva and her child she takes total advantage of his niceness and the fun begins from there. His friend Mario the security guard is a great supporting character, as well as Mario's fiancé Sandra, who creates some tension with the Rey. This movie has it all, it keeps the laughs coming but it also makes you think, it's something everyone should check out, and it's even more enjoyable if you watch it in it's original language. A victory for Chilean film.
