HappyGrace Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) I can't stand the "dumb" funny movies. ETA: Decided against Bedtime Stories! NEED ANOTHER! Is Bedtime Stories (Adam Sandler) any good? Is it funny? We usually like him pretty well. It would have to be a movie we can find at Hollywood Video locally-so not too old, I'd imagine.

Sasharowan Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 This was a really cute movie and very family appropriate. My kids all loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyGrace Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 So would it be funny and enjoyable for us as adults or is it more of a kids' movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariannNOVA Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I loved Nim's Island and, I will check out the name of this next one, I think it is called 'The Wild' -- it is a spoof of Madagascar and about a dozen other movies. The kids loved it, and there was SO much for the adults that was really funny. Yes, here is the website http://disney.go.com/disneyvideos/animatedfilms/thewild/ Dh and I watched it with the kids, and we laughed and laughed! Also, Flubber was funny.

HappyGrace Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks for all the recommendations so far! They look good! But isn't it a sad commentary on our society that the only clean funny movies for adults are kids' movies? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But isn't it a sad commentary on our society that the only clean funny movies for adults are kids' movies? ;) Sad but true! I haven't seen them, but what about the Pink Panther movie -- the Steve Martin one? And, my kids loved Cheaper by the Dozen II. Our family is either at the theatre the day a movie opens (i.e., Where The Wild Things Are) or we don't see a movie until the DVD has been out for about 5 years! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmom3tn Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 If you decide to venture out to the movie theater, we saw Old Dogs and it was hysterical - and clean. How about Yours, Mine, and Ours? We liked that one, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3littlekeets Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I watch Sleepless in Seattle every New Year's Eve...my own little tradition. For new movies, The Holiday is charming! 1 non-graphic sex scene...I think...the rest is clean by movie standards :lol:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I recently re-watched "While You Were Sleeping" - very sweet movie, funny, too. Perfect for Christmas/New Years since it that is the time of year of its setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in TX Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 You've Got Mail with Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan Ghost Town with Ricky Gervais & Tea Leoni Music and Lyrics with Hugh Grant & Drew Barrymore Ever After with Drew Barrymore All of these I found funny, charming, intelligent, and romantic and with little or no s*x depicted. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in Neverland Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 My favorite movie for adults for New Year's Eve is "When Harry Met Sally"...funny, sweet, romantic, and the ending of the movie takes place on New Year's Eve so totally appropriate!
