This movie is such a trip. I unironically love the first half of the skits, up to and including the superhero dating.

All I remember is the Terence Howard skit and how it felt like a cheap knock off (but still chuckle worthy) of a Chapelle or Key and Peele sketch.

Oh yeah, that one is great one too! Definitely the highlight of the weaker second-half in my opinion.

Because clooney is a smug bastard. With Lemmy being so small, I’m sure you’ve heard me say this multiple times before this topic. It’s surprising how often I have to call clooney a smug bastard, but here we are.

Its not that small

Anyway, he cast himself as officer shithead for Catch-22

I haven’t seen the movie, but I’m confident he was smug in that role. Because George Clooney was played by George Clooney…the smug bastard.

Its a show on hulu. He’s a dumb guy who gets cuked by his wife by the main character. He didn’t write the role, he adapted it from the book. And that’s the (minor) character he played.

Then there’s Hugh Jackman, nearly polar opposite.

I’m surprised anyone signed up for the “poop on me” sketch. They got copies of the script before they agreed, right?

It was Anna Farris and Chris Pratt. Come on. It was basically an SNL skit.

Weren’t most of the “stars” in this movie only there because someone involved called in favors?

CitizenKong ,

Yep, and it was actually made over a long time, whenever the actors were between projects and a few days of shooting playing something different sounded nice. Also, each famous actor was used to goad the next. (Specifically, the Hugh Jackman-Kate Winslet segment which was shot first.) And the segments themselves were also directed by stars like Bob Odenkirk or Elizabeth Banks.

The other night my wife suggested we watch this and I'd vaguely heard of it, but not its reputation, so we did watch it since an anthology would be fun! We made it maybe 40% through until I realized it was so bad that I had to stop. They just don't know when a joke stops being funny, and most of the skits are barely funny to begin with.

If they cut most of those skits down by probably half, the movie would be awkwardly short, but it would at least flow better, and you'd be able to move onto something else if you weren't liking the current skit much, but as it is, it's a mediocre slog that has a bafflingly star studded cast.

It's just far too juvenile and long in the tooth, and I have nothing against juvenile humor, but man, I just couldn't get much out of it.

Lighten up, mate. Get on the level of every actor who showed up in Extras.

Clooney is known to have a sense of humor. He’s part of the reason South Park got produced. For a South Park special they had him cameo as a dog and all he did was bark.

He’s a real cheeseball in Burn After Reading. Still manages to be a charmer even though he’s a pretty sad guy.
