From our review:
There’s a strange notion that good comedy is aggressive, but it’s actually empathetic. To make someone laugh and do it consistently, you first have to understand something about them. This is the reason for the impulse behind movies like: you Comedy can be good because it can make a lot of hay out of the misunderstandings that people have about each other as they bump into understanding. youBut it gets old quickly, mainly because it’s concerned with ignorance. The most aggressive comedies aren’t ignorant or bigoted, they’re just plain lame.

From our review:
The terrible horror-comedy Graveyard is one of the saddest and most boring of all movies.Filled with hundreds of tasteless parodies, laughterless messes, ridiculous garbage, and perhaps a few unfortunate movies that weren’t even intentionally designed to be laughed at. It feels like a tightrope walk trying to balance two extremes the creators seem to have in mind in hopes of laughing one moment and screaming the next. Follow in the footsteps of classics like the Chucky movies playing housedirector Gerald Johnstone and the team behind new horror-comedy M3GAN, believe that laughing and screaming aren’t really all that different, and most importantly, either can be the key to a great time.

He’s funny when he’s not playing a disqualified criminal attorney to work for the methamphetamine empire, right?
