Today there's news of yet another comedic adventure coming from the Farrelly Bros., this one with the classy title Beaujolais [1]. The movie is described as "a redneck action-adventure with a protagonist along the lines of an Austin Powers or Ace Ventura."
After suffering through their remake of The Heartbreak Kid [2] last Fall and seeing the disappointing outcome of their TV series Unhitched [3], I might be pretty much done with these dudes. I wonder if they peaked with earlier movies like Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary. Or, could it be that in this atmosphere of Apatow [4] and Juno [5], audiences are looking for something more than slapstick, gross-out humor and flimsy plotlines?
What do you think? Will you give the Farrellys more chances?
