This looks very funny. Roger Ebert gave this three stars (ergo, a good review). “Get Him To The Greek” is a Judd Apatow movie, and Apatow has gradually turned himself into the John Hughes of this generation.

Apatow + good Ebert review = will go see.

Had the chance to watch some more movies with the family Saturday night, which gave me the chance to push “Run Fatboy Run” on ‘em.

I’d already seen this Brit comedy, starring Simon Pegg and the gorgeous Thandie Newton, but I knew it would be a hit with everyone else, and it was. The critics panned it due to a lack of originality, but what the critics don’t get is that funny and entertaining will always be funny and entertaining.

Let me give you an example. Ricky Gervais starred in the second movie we watched, called “Ghost Town,” and it was fairly original, and the critics mostly loved it.

However, after 30 minutes, we had to end it. It was neither funny nor entertaining, and just like the British version of The Office is a pain to watch, Gervais was almost criminal in this film. He was so unfunny, he should be held civilly liable.

It’s not that the movie was that bad. The idea … potentially great. Greg Kinnear … way better generally than he came off here. It was Gervais. Bottom line: The next movie he’s in, you’ll have to pay ME to watch.

Every moderately seemingly humorous scene happens IN the first 30 minutes, and they’re all accounted for in the trailer. I can’t recommend enough that you skip this movie. C-SPAN is more entertaining.

Yikes.

Finally, we watched “You Don’t Mess With The Zohan,” which is one of Adam Sandler’s worst movies … but still funny and still entertaining. The Happy Madison crew won’t make you any smarter, but even this effort was funnier in the first two minutes than “Ghost Town” was in 30.

I wouldn’t mind seeing “Slumdog Millionaire” and “The Wrestler” pretty soon. Both movies intrigue and interest me greatly — the former because of all the great word-of-mouth it’s gotten.

Several people have highly recommended Danny Boyle’s new movie to me, the story of a young street kid who does well on a game show and is suspected of cheating. The trick is that his life clues him in to the answers to these questions. This is a movie I can’t wait to see.

But the second is “The Wrestler,” which marks another comeback by Mickey Rourke. He plays an old, hardened wrestler looking for one last shot. Again, the word-of-mouth on this is phenomenal, and Mickey Rourke is a fascinating soul.
