Foxbat, it's not that we necessarily dissagree, but the example you used of british comedy was Hugh Grant and the only comedies I can think of with him in them were the Bridgett Jones Movies and Mickey Blue Eyes, both of which were hillarious in my humble opinion. My point is that I really don't know of that many movies as far as british comedy that are out there. Granted I've only recently begun to delve into the foreign film arena, but I still don't know of much out there. My understanding of things is that there is more british comedy in the form of sitcoms than there is in the form of movies.
And yeah Memnoch, I agree. I think Somethin About Mary was a hit and Hollywood has been trying to copy it ever since and has been failing miserably. I don't know if I can say the movie is the cause of that, I think the fact of Hollywood being so unoriginal they can't come up with their own ideas but have to steal from other movies is the problem. I won't say never but I don't know of any examples of times when Hollywood has tried to give people the same thing in a different wrapper and it has come up with the same effect. Alot of those crappy unfunny comedies generate a few laughs but ultimately they don't measure up.
