Welcome to another Thursday Movie Picks, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves that consists of picking three films to fit the week's theme.
This week we deal with those comedies that fail to do what a comedy is supposed to do aka make the audience laugh. My three picks? Well, I don't think I laughed even once while watching them.ù
Bad Moms (2016)
Three overworked mothers ditch their responsibilities to just have fun aka a story with some potential that was wasted because the writers did not know how to develop a story without filling it with clichés and predictable plot turns. Nor did they know how to do comedy because all the joke fell flat. Kathryn Hahn was able to make me chuckle a couple of times but only because she is amazing.
Baywatch (2017)
A lifeguard does some undercover work to find out who is selling a new synthetic drug on his beach. Based on the famous TV series, this film is ridiculous, to say the least. The story is terrible, the characters even worse, and the humour, well, if dick jokes is your kind of humour, you'll love this. It'll basically all you get.
CHiPs (2017)
It's about a rooker cop who is teamed with a California Highway Patrol pro who actually is an undercover FBI agent that investigates a heist involving crooked cops. Just like Baywatch, it's a remake of a TV series and it's just as bad, if not even worse. It sucks on every single level, especially on the humour which is pretty much all homophobic jokes.
