      "Dinner for Jewels".

      Not funny.

      When I watched the movie, "Enter Laughing" in 1968 with wife and boys ages 10 and 12, my children saw me laughing so hard I literally fell out of my seat on to the theater floor -- still laughing so hard I was crying. There was room in front of me for that.

      I do have a sense of humor.

      Not funny. But I guess the four of them in this conversation more or less liked each other and the movie.

      Loved this interview, funny, enjoyable, seemingly organic. On a silly note, Paul Rudd you had me at Clueless ^_^ love your work, so happy to see you getting your just desserts of success. Keep being awesome and authentically good.

      Okay, am I the only one who thinks NORMALLY Steve Carell is one of the sexiest men on earth? He really is, and I can see him in a serious role, loving caring and intense with the correct romantic theme. Laugh if you will, but damnit! I KNOW he can do it!

      well, the preview did look kind of stupid. Looked like they were trying too hard to be funny (those are the worst movies and sitcoms):(. And there's nothing worse than a bad comedy. Like there's nothing more better than an excellent comedy. 'Anchorman' was excellent. I've watched it 2 or 3 times and it gets funnier every time. A true measure of it's 'excellence'. Mostly because of 'Will Ferrell' and his ACCURATE portrayal of 'Tom Brokaw' 'Peter Jennings' 'Dan Rather' 'Brian Williams' and 'Katie Incorrigible'. And ALL the local 'news' people (fools.?.) who proudly announce the coming of more commercials (every 30 seconds).

      remember the neighbor of Al Bundy the first year or two of 'Married with Children'. He left the show to do something else .. and he just disappeared. bye-bye dood.

      The 'Office' is a good show. ... Like 'Married with Children' was...

      The laughter in this conversation moved into higher gear over the parody of an interview. I've laughed at works by all the influences mentioned: Monty Python, Steve Martin, and Woody Allen. The comment about it being fun to watch adults being silly translates also to it being fun watching adults have fun, like in this conversation! I haven't seen this movie, but I find comedies tend to be more amusing when viewed with a group of light-hearted friends.

      Sounds like this movie has potential. I'll watch the interview later. .. Nothing better than a GOOD fart joke every now and then. It beats climbing a water tower to take target practice on my fellow humans heads. . Even though I'd be really good at that. And it would be fun.. but if just one of those heads was INNOCENT, I would feel really bad about it

      Charlie seems to be attracted to whoopee-cushion humorists, a la these guys and Adam Sandler types. Bet its shot full of potty-mouthisms. Same types that giggle over farting or just the word itself. But they'll make mega-bucks and I'll await the dole. Sh--! Giggle, giggle!

      Was this supposed to be funny? Go look for the French version.
