    I noted the original post date of this thread and feel I should apologise to Sas. A ten year old boy can be excused such things.

    David J Contractor
    Jibber
    Agreed - it's brilliant. The remake is pants.

    The film or your boring, badly written posts?

    Don't read or watch it then. You could be a guest at my dinner the week after OwlHoot. Actually this is CUK, the dinners would stretch into infinity

    I don't speak French and never claimed to.
    If anyone was interested in watching the film I gave adequate information to find it.
    But I suppose that the more cognitively challenged might need more hand-holding than I provided, thus proving that they are fit subjects for the film

    Painfully unfunny. As a fan of Steve Carell and Paul Rudd (not to mention Jermaine Clement and Zak G) and sometimes of director Jay Roach, it's hard to reckon how none of these talented people noticed how strained, mean-spirited and downright ridiculous this comedy is. No one behaves like an actual human being, and Carell's "loser" character is so annoying you're insulted when the script asks us to find him lovable-- you'd rather strangle him. A deeply cynical, formulaic farce without a shred of anything resembling reality. Even the broadest comedy has to be based in some recognizable behavior. It mocks the bad corporate villains for making fun of the fools invited to the party, and does the same thing itself. A few scattered laughs is the best you can hope for. What a waste of talented people. The producers should be spanked.
    I'm hoping the original was better.

    I've got a 27' Colvic northerner motor sailor. Two full headroom cabins forrard and a double berth sleeping cabin aft, plus a fully water tight cockpit. You could find one in your price range

    I've seen it. Tres amusamt.

    The tax inspector gets the last laugh, I think, which is appropriate for a contractors' forum.
