ANYTHINGS of all time. I grew up on this movie/stand-up/sit-down act playing on HBO seemingly every day back in the mid-80s. It was incredibly funny then, and incredibly funny now. Cosby has a way of bringing class to the stage and telling stories in a way that can make you laugh until you hurt.
Remember when you were young and there was that one person in your family who, no matter what he/she said, made you laugh until your stomach ached and you'd get actually get in trouble for laughing too much? That's Cos in this. Sheerly, sheerly hilarious. Even if you aren't a fan of his, have an open mind and watch this classic work.

For anyone who is expecting a good-to-great storyline, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you. C'MON PEOPLE! Jason is deader than the deadest-dead guy wrapped in celophane on Christmas morning and you want a storyline befitting of a some literary idea of suspending your disbelief? You want some classic horror genre-writing? ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING, this film is going to base itself on is going to be a FARCE. How could you expect anything more? As the director said about the film, "The Friday the 13th series is beyond criticism now." Why? Because EVEN HE KNOWS the F13 series passed any semblance of reason and sensibility about 20 years. This is not a film to make you wow at the writing, it is a fun, high-end campy slasher film with cool ways people die. That's it. End of story. The movie never attempted to be anything more than it is and means everything it does.
Someone once defined "quality" as the creation of something that does exactly what you want it to do. The thought realized clearly, per se. In that sense, this is a quality film. It sets out to be a fun slasher flick, and it is. I can't tell you the last time a group of friends and I jumped out of our seats yelling, laughing, and clapping at a scene as when the "frozen face" scene occurs. What else do you want?
Now, if you were fooled by the previews that might have misrepresented the intention of the movie, that's the studio's fault--and yours. What were you expecting? This was a fun, good movie. It wasn't great, shoot it wasn't nearly as good as the first 2 movies in this series, but I still had a great time watching this film--exactly what the director and producers set out to do.
