Although comedy in movies has degraded to more of a stoner quality of comedy, it’s hard to except that as an excuse for where this movie fell short. The three movies that I mentioned the lead actors had also been in prove that you don’t need to simply target that audience and not everything funny has been though up yet. At times I did get a few genuine laughs here and there, but to be honest, the group of high school stoners next to me kept me even more entertained than the movie. I thought that they were just laughing at any random thing, but when I paid more attention I realize that they were actually following the movie.

The movie itself is about a failing animal tv show that needs to drastically increase it’s ratings. How better to do that then to actually find BigFoot and put him on the show. I’m not sure where I missed the concept of having to alter my state of reality to enjoy a movie, but apparently that’s how the movie was intended as there is no other way that I could possibly fathom how those three actors with that studio would flop like that.

If your a patient enjoying medicinal medicines, consider renting this movie before it’s time for your medicine.

What a shit! A movie produced for less than $20 million with two dubious actors playing main roles “Superbad” became one of the most warmly accepted comedies of the summer 2007! Already in the first week it gathered $33.1 million (box-office gatherings). Although the majority of critics predicted only $25 million (during the whole season).

Judd Apatow – film-producer, is now a very respectful man in Hollywood comedy producing. Formerly, he directed “Knocked Up” and “The 40 Year-Old Virgin”. He put a stake not at the popularity of actors, but at their humor quotient. And the game was worth the candles! Apatow thinks, that the main thing in comedy is: who is funny and not who is famous. To tell the truth, it is not all about the popularity of Apatow and his former successful comedies, it is a thought-out sale strategy (large advertisement campaign 2 weeks prior the release, more than 2 million people watched it on You Tube, extensive coverage in newspapers), involving previous releases and Universal.

Let’s turn our attention to the past. “Knocked Up”: first day – $31.6 million, finally – $146. “Virgin”: first day of release – $21 million and finally – $109 million at the box office.
