Thumbs up I introduced my boys to ...

Karate Kid tonight ... MAJOR hit with all of them. The four year old spent the entire film doing wax on and wax off and painting the fence. They just don't make teen flics like that anymore with the cheesy 80's rock ballad soundtrack.

The four year old even commented that the Bonsai trees "look like broccoli"

Am I the only one who sees the comedic value of that movie?

I only like it because it is unintentionally hilarious, though if the laughs are intentional, then the script was written by a genius.

It was intentional comedy, why would you think otherwise?

Because some of the greatest laughs come from things that aren't intended to be funny. Like those hilarious Godzilla movies from the 60s.

Speaking of unintentional humor-- some of the roommates went to the dollar theaters and saw "In the Name of the King." I have never seen an audience loose it like they did during that movie, even during a comedy. The laughter was uproarious.
