Good year for fun summer comedies

[youthinasia]

Have any of you seen the new tv spots for Around the World in 80 Days? Just saw the new ones the other night and then downloaded them again on here. This one's on my summer comedy list along with Shrek 2(which I'm seeing this weekend), Anchorman, and Dodgeball. The Terminal should be a pretty good comedy also.

the only movie i have any will to see is terminal. tom hanks is funny as hell(ie Bachelor Party :applaud: ) He just has to get back in it.

I just hope Around the World in 80 Days will be good, I am very much looking forward to that!!!

I haven't seen the new TV spots yet, where can I download them, do you have a direct link for it?

[Ananda]

Sure, checkhere (http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/a/aroundtheworld.php), right here on this very site. I think it'll be a really fun movie to watch.

Also, I saw a little special on Anchorman last night and thought for the first time that Will Ferrel looks like Chevy Chase...??

The terminal looks great IMO. Also Shrek 2.

[SPW]

yeah, shrek 2 looks ridiculously awesome

[Polarbear]

Shrek 2 and the terminal so look amazin!!!!!! hank an awesome actor...i look forward to ladykillers as well cos that looks funny!

[Mat]

The Ladykillers was very funny.

Around the World in 80 Days & Dodgeball look bad to me

[LS2002]

Dodgeball looks like a blast. Around the world looks stupid!

[krazy_marco74]

Shrek 2 is already a comedy hit. i am defiently looking forward to The Terminal and Dodgeball. Around the World in 80 days doesnt seem like a good comedy, but maybe a good adventure movie with few laughs.

[Mat]

The Stepford Wives is going to be better than anticipated, methinks. The trailer's pretty good (better than the teaser), the cast is great, and I really like Frank Oz as director.

When is that Orlando Bloom movie coming out?
Something about him being a boxer but isn't really one...I forget.

Shrek 2 was hilarious - funniest movie I've seen this year.

I think Dodgeball could be hit or miss - hopefully good considering the talent involved.

Around the World looks like a fun movie to me - Jackie Chan, Steve Coogan and tons of cameos - could be a good family movie with all the cool locations

Terminal will be good - but will probably be more than just a comedy

I went to see SHREK 2 this past weekend, even though I wanted to really like this movie, me and my sister left the theatre somewhat disappointed.
:(

The main problem, for me, was that almost all of the jokes were from other movies, it just got very tiresome after a while, and most of them weren't even that funny.


The best thing was the animation and Antonio Banderas as the cat. The movie was Entertaining, for seeing it once;
it is just kind of sad, because they had the opportunity to make Shrek something more of a "classic" that stands by its own, something more special, and not take everything from other movies.

I am proably one of the very few people who thinks like that but that is just my opinion.

[adnamasevoltam]

Shrek 2 - have heard good things and expect good things (soon hopefully)

Dodgeball - looks to be the hilarious stupidest comedy of the year

Anchorman - i love Ferrel and the teaser and trailer r both hilarious

Terminal - how can they go wrong w/Hanks and Speilberg...well...i suppose they COULD go wrong. i dont know that ive ever seen a great love movie by Speilberg, but how can Hanks screw it up? hes awesome!

as of present, The Girl Nextdoor is my fav comedy of the year, and the best teen comedy, IMO, since American Pie. this looks to be a decent year for comedies, which is a good thing since last year sucked for them.

I think Around the World in 80 days actually looks kind of funny. Jackie Chan always cracks me up with his fight scenes for some reason.

Dodgeball and the Terminal look good to me also.

[LS2002]

If only Girl Next Store didn't bomb. I want to know when its coming out on DVD though cause I want to pick it up.

[atropfunk]

Bet Girl Next Door DVD will have an Uncut and Unrated version.

I saw Mean Girls this weekend - which was humorous, but not that great as some had claimed.

Still looking forward to Dodgeball, Around the World, and Anchorman the most - in terms of comedies.
