All Things Comedy

Beverly Hills Cop series

Definitely worthy of a spot in my top 5 favourite movies of all time! Axel Foley played by Eddie Murphy is down right hilarious in this comedy about a cop from Detroit who gets involved with other crimes taking place in Beverly Hills. The first and second are the best and the third falls flat just a tad but still one of the best series to me.

Box of Moonlight

Stumbled upon this gem and so glad I did. The comedy starts slow and you may think it won't be a good movie but once Al, a man going through a mid-life crisis, meets the Kid, an eccentric young man who dresses like Davy Crockett played by Sam Rockwell, it really picks up. The Kid teaches Al how to live a little by doing all sorts of things like jumping naked in a waterhole, tomato fights, and eating Oreos in milk for breakfast.

Clean Slate

Not so much a favourite but still worth watching. It stars Dana Carvey, which is enough for me to like it, as M.L. Pogue, a detective who loses his memory every time he goes to sleep. He'll have to answer questions like "Who's this girl?", "Where's the coin?", and "What's my dog's name?"

Big

An absolute classic and must-see. Probably my favourite Tom Hanks movie! A very cute movie that has you laughing along the way as a twelve-year old boy experiences adulthood. (His apartment full of toys was so cool).

The Cable Guy

You'll think twice before going for a drink, or playing video games with your cable guy after seeing this hoot of a movie with Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick. Chip Douglas (Carrey) thinks Steve (Broderick), his client, are best friends when really Steve is only being nice. Nice turns to ugly as Steve discovers that Chip is crazy.
