A true exception to the Hollywood Pictures "if it's the Sphinx, it stinks" rule.

Favorite gags:
- Enema Bag Jones / Dr. Helen Harris
- Doo-wop Cops
- Kevin McDonald in the motel
- No Bullet Theory
- Favorite daughter
- Joe Flaherty, the kindly banker victimized by evil farmers
- That was jazz.
- Statue of Liberty visual gag

Even funnier on a rewatch (a rare feat!)

While I still maintain the belief that John Waters' Serial Mom is the closest a film has ever gotten to replicating the comedic writing and pacing of a Simpsons episode (it's literally a Treehouse of Horror sketch come to life), The Wrong Guy is a real close second (and obviously it helps that the script is penned by Jay Kogen, co-writer of some all time best Simpsons episodes (Lisa the Greek being my fav of his work)). Pretty consistently funny packed wall to wall with witty one-liners, visual gags, slapstick, and every character being an absolute idiot. It's even got fucking Craig Feldspar!?!!?! AND HE CO-WROTE THIS!?!?!?

Film ClubWeek 5: Chosen by George

"He's not gay, he's a marine"

I thought it was funny but it was also a little messy and was a little problematic but I guess that's what you get with this type of movie. I still laughed quite a bit.
