FIST FIGHT
Director Richard Keen
Screenplay by Van Robichaux and Evan Susser
Starring Ice Cube and Charlie Day
Now that all the pageantry of Oscar week is over it is time to play catch up on 2017 movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well continuing in the tradition of 2016 bad comedies we start with a bad 2017 comedy.
Okay. To make a good comedy.....it has to be at least partly realistic. Here...nothing is realistic.
-Undisciplined kids. And what they do, when writing some one must of thought this is funny, it is not funny. The school is a mess. Yes some schools are a mess, but this is unrealistic, No spoilers here but...it was not funny and irritating often. And by the way....being mean is not funny.
-So many things the teachers do are unrealistic, like leaving school to shop during the day. Again very few laughs. Tracy Morgan seemed like his parts were filmed at a different time and felt like an entirely different film and sadly again...not funny.
-The final scene. Yea. I have to stop...but...really the whole student body??!! And no one there to stop it.
Positives?
Charlie Day is pretty good as the frustrated every man.
And for some reason Christina Hendricks as Ms Monet had funniest lines. I think it was just.... you would not think her lines, or things she says, would be coming from her, which made it funny. She has good comic timing. I hope she does more...but then again she is choosing bad films like Bad Santa 2 and this. Ugh.
Well 1 1/2 stars out of 5 for a comedy with few laughs and just plain annoying.
From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
