VACATION [2015]

The fifth installment of the long-running Vacation series has Ed Helms stepping in for Chevy Chase in the lead role as Clark Griswold's son, Rusty, now all grown up and with a suffering family of his own.
It basically follows the story of the first film, only now it's a whole new generation of Griswolds making their way to the infamous Walley World amusement park.
Overprotective fan-babies of the original series will scoff at the change in tone from the original films but it's not like they were cinematic gold to begin with.  The films were directionless silly humored and not particularly intelligent but they supplied laughs-a-plenty and that's where this film succeeds if you're ready and willing to lower your expectations to a not-so-classic but highly cherished comedy series of the '80's.

RAPTURE-PALOOZA [2013]

The third of the four apocalyptic comedies 0f 2013 comes wrapped in a wad of shitty toilet paper courtesy of Bill & Ted's creator Chris Matheson and director Paul Middleditch.

Rapture-Palooza is a really stupid concept but has some funny ideas that are so poorly executed you can't help but feel bad for anyone involved.  Anna Kendrick and John Francis Daley look so embarrassed to be in this film, you'd think they signed on having only read the amusing treatment and not the actual script.  

What a pile of crap.

WAITING...[2005]

Ever wondered what it's like to work in a restaurant?

2005's Waiting... takes you behind the scenes in all it's crude, perverted, angry, foul-mouthed and always hilarious glory. 

It doesn't try to do anything but make you laugh and give a better insight into the day of the people who cook and serve your fucking food, you cunts. It's not gold but it's obviously written by someone with experience and that's what makes it great.
