So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993)
Well, there are some scenes in here so hilarious I have been able to watch them over and over. And there are other parts that are pretty lame. I'll admit to fast forwarding a few times, but I watched it straight through again last night and it's not a horrible movie at all. There are some novelties to it (the opening scene with the camera latched to the coffee cup, or even just the incredibly bad beat poetry performances). And there is a clever basic plot, which keeps you guessing (the first time through).
I'm not a Mike Myers fan, but then, he's supposed to be an annoying twit in this one, I think. But that's not counting his role as an older Scottish man (sound familiar), which is does with such brilliance it's hard to not love him. (You can see his co-actors laughing too hard, actually, at times--they were overwhelmed by how funny he was.)
This is a genre of comedy that is partly made of up individual skits, or even particular moments that are set-ups for one-liners, and so this sequence of funny situations seems at times a little forced together, and by nature a little uneven. But the funniest of them (and we might not agree on all of these) are really really funny. That's worth a lot.
