82. Stupid Funny Movies

A few weeks ago, my friends Sarah, Kelly and I FINALLY made it to the Byrd, a historic one-screen movie theater here in Richmond.

It's really beautiful inside and ornately decorated. You kind of feel like you're in an opera house or something.

And we saw Due Date. SO STUPID. But so good!! (Although, honestly could there have been more car accidents?? I was kind of over that by the end, not gonna lie.)

I can appreciate Oscar-worthy movies. Or at least I try to. But honestly, I just want to be entertained! And stupid funny movies certainly deliver that. Due Date actually may have been a bit too "smart" for this title, but don't get me wrong. I laughed. And it was stupid.

The main character had the same last name as me ... almost

Some other stupid movies that come to mind:

-'The House Bunny': I saw this over winter break and well it was certainly stupid. But I appreciated that. Also falls into the genre of 'Unrealistic College/High School' movie that I just cannot resist.

-'Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle': Please. This is stupid at its finest. And White Castle isn't even that good! But I digress. Bonus: Ethnic eye candy! Hells yes.

Stupid funny movie Hall of Fame:
'Dumb and Dumber' and 'Wayne's World' (and its sequel) are all winners. The stupidity never gets old. "You had two gloves this whole time?" "Uh, yeah, we're in the Rockies!" - I am just as incredulous everytime (not really). "Esqueege me? Baking powder?" CLASSIC.

Let's throw another shrimp on the barbie!

Also these movies are great to watch hungover. Anytime, really. But while hungover is pretty much perfection.
