Saw a press screening of Wild Hogs last night. I have to review it for MousePlanet so can't share my thoughts on it yet.
But I did discover something, when you're sitting their waiting for the movie to start and things have pretty much filled up, the last thing you want to hear from the person sitting in front of you is an exclamation to another person that "we're going to be all Jerry Spring in this section."
The audience ended up being mostly invited guests from local Harley-Davidson motorcycle clubs. It maybe goes without saying that such an invitation in Oakland does not really produce the yuppie weekend rider class of people that maybe resulted in other towns.
Strangler Lewis: I find Jim Carey to be funny when he's reined in. Balls to the wall slapstick and he's awful though. Steve Carrell has proven himself though his style could get old after another 10 movies. Sandra Oh amuses me (though it is more often a dramedy type thing). I liked Jerry Lewis in many of his movies.
Outright comedic acting frequently doesn't appeal to me, though. I prefer something more subtle and generally more ironic and unlike dramatic actors I find that a consistently comedic actor is much more likely to be inconsistent.
