10 Hilarious Films That Were Never Meant To Be Funny
Image
Comedy is one of the most popular movie genres, and it's still churning out great films, such as action comedy The Fall Guy, and throwbacks like Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. Ben Stiller has also made a welcome acting return with the warmly received Nutcrackers. However, during the development process of a movie, the best intentions to make a serious film can turn it into an unintentionally hilarious comedy.

There are always deciding factors for this. Perhaps the script needed another draft, or the director should have had more control over the actor's performances. The problem is, that such movies were never meant to be comedies. There would have been humorous sequences to add levity to the script, but the intention wouldn't be to make an out-and-out comedy. Unfortunately, many movies with the best intentions are hilariously bad.

Gavin Jasper May 18, 2017

The Disaster Artist, the movie about the making of one of the worst movies in cinematic history, gets a 2017 Us release date

If there was a Mount Rushmore for bad movies, Tommy Wiseau’s The Room would get a spot on that mountain. Celebrated in the same vein as The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the tragic drama has amassed a cult following since its release in 2003. Unlike most cinematic atrocities, there’s a weird draw to its existence. There’s a unique flavour to its badness and everything about it is utterly fascinating. That’s to be expected when your movie is written, directed, produced, and stars someone as enigmatic and unexplainable as Wiseau.

So legendary is the movie and its creation that Seth Rogan and James Franco are adapting the book into a feature film, with Franco both directing and playing the role of Wiseau. His...

James Franco Is The Disaster Artist In New Photo For Upcoming Drama
Often referred to as the “Citizen Kane of bad movies,” Tommy Wiseau’s The Room wrote its name in cinema’s history books for all the wrong reasons back in 2003. A spluttering mess of plot holes and cringe-worthy dialogue, Wiseau’s self-confessed passion project – one which he wrote, directed and starred in – has since gone on to become something of a cult classic, and soon James Franco and Co. will introduce moviegoers to the story behind the so-called misguided masterpiece.

Its title? The Disaster Artist, a big-screen rendition of Greg Sestero’s novel of the same name. Those already familiar with Sestero’s source material will know all too well that the author pulls no punches in his autopsy of The Room, which is hardly surprising given he co-starred in the cult original as conflicted best friend Mark. Fast forward to 2017 and it is Dave Franco that will be playing the part of Mark,...
