It's a Man's Man's Man's Man's movie: The ultimate un-chick flicks

What we see as hilariously funny, they look and roll their eyes and say 'it's so stupid'.

 

It was beyond that even, she couldn't even understand what it was we found funny. Usually if it is something stupid she will get why I will find it funny. This though was completely beyond her.
Yet she has sat thru and enjoyed Python's Holy Grail, Life of Brian etc. So it's not a question of taste.

To me if I had a gun to my head and was asked to pick the best 'comedy' people ever it would be Stan and Ollie - truly timeless. For me anyway. And I'm a big Python fan, love Fawlty Towers, Blackadder etc.

 

Hardy has talent to burn. He's just one role away from becoming a major star.

 

Given the ambiguity of the OP's question and some of the answers the obvious answer is Stereotypes

 

Exactly, can you clarify what you mean by that?

 

How Sad Now. Im going back to bed. John M.

 

A presumption that women don't like a particular type of film, with many of the ones cited having been enjoyed by women I know.

 

OK my real answer Ladybird

 

There are many possibilities but one here in my household is "The Fifth Element." It's one of my favorites, but according to my wife "it' is SO stupid."

 

I'd say even stuff like Airplane, The Naked Gun, This is Spinal Tap, Monty Python, or Mel Brooks films. Pretty much anything heavy on slapatick, meta, or British humor has gotten universal reactions from women of "that's not funny; it's just stupid." Also, slower paced horror films without contemporary sound cues and styling get the "this is boring and not scary" reaction

 

I agree I haven't met many that loves these guys as much as we do...especially The Three Stooges...can you imagine their antics today...the PC POLICE brains would explode! HAHAHAHa

 

my wife and I watched this together...she didn't mind it...but I guess she may have tolerated it for me...

 

Super Troopers my wife laughed her ass off on that one.

 

You think so. right up until you take a girl to Mission Impossible ( I believe it was) which got sold out and you decide to go to see girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This was our first date and I didn't know her that well.

 

Freebie and The Bean

 

Modern Romance
Hellstrom Chronicle

 

Ladies night : flipside to Man's world.
Ultimate argh chick flick that men have to tolarate.

Bridget Jones Diary?

 

Deep Throat

 

The original Get Carter (maybe the remake as well, although I've never seen it). Michael Caine has a few romantic leads in the film, but they generally don't end well for the ladies involved.

 

Actually, I think "Deep Throat" got a much more mixed-gender audience than usual for porn.

It was a cultural phenomenon and a lot of people who normally avoided porn went to see it - including a substantial female audience...

 

Yes but what about now.

 

Punch Drunk Love...my wife calls any move she doesn't like a PDL movie...hysterical. I liked it.

 

well now these days porn pigs are revered and honored...just ask Stormy she's a household icon that has been honored as a hard working gal...just ask the View...HAHAHAHAHA!

 

Now? Now no one cares about "Deep Throat". No one watches it other than as a historical curiosity...
