in response to goodvibe61's post That doesn't look funny either.
Just curious. Am I the only one that thinks MWTDW looks like a bad SNL skit? more...

I hated Ted. This one looks even worse.

My thoughts exactly. I am usually a fan of stupid humor (Old School, 1st Hangover, Hut Tub, etc) but I really thought Ted was bad.

Ted was truly awful. One joke, and a mediocre one at that. And people came out in droves. I have no idea what happened there.

Box Office has for months had it as opening in the low twenties, and ending its run at around 70M (weeks after HSX delist, that is).

I won't see it myself (didn't see TED, either), but I think the trailer is pretty good, and SMCFA can craft and deliver a punchline.

I agree. Comedy just isn't what it use to be. They rely too much on swearing to try and make it funny.

That doesn't bother me as much as Sandler's penchant for crotch shots, fart jokes, and other over the top slapstick gags.

A one quadrant movie will find someone who loves it...exhibit A. Neither movie had, or is going to have, 4 quad appeal.

I wonder if the fact it's also a Western will hold back it's potential BO...most people seem to avoid them like the plague
