Featured reviews
The most interesting thing about this movie is that there is no real or fictional story behind it, the movie makers were allowed to speak for themselves about what THEY think the public would perceive as funny. Some even have written their own lines as I understand. And they have spoken. I have no other explanation for the stuff they came up with but to suggest that they must be in a state of self- delusion about what the rest of the world thinks of comedy, fun, or even about good and bad for that matter and that it's THEM who find this interesting and worth watching. But at least one funny thing came out of this failure, in my view - AnAPPropriate middle name for Mr. Brody, Adrien "Go-ahead-make-me-gay" Brody
Vince Offer's "InAPPropriate Comedy" is a weak-sauce sketch comedy that starts off as a series of movie parodies, then drifts off into random and intentionally offensive takes on sex, ethnic stereotyping and racism. In the first category, there's a dated running skit making fun of the 40-year old movie franchise "Dirty Harry." Dubbed "Flirty Harry," it's really just a collection of unoriginal and unfunny gay double entendres delivered by a deadpan Adrien Brody, who's indeed come a long way from his days of Oscar-winning glory nearly a decade ago. Other movies and TV shows that come in for some ribbing include "Jackass," "127 Hours" and even a porn movie version of Siskel and Ebert, none of which elicit even the teeniest snicker from the audience.
The sharpest satire - if one can call it that - comes in a series of skits featuring the very funny Ari Shaffir (who, along with Offer and Ken Pringle, co-authored the screenplay) as a racist who launches into a string of insulting diatribes against Hispanics, blacks, Asians and Jews. The concept works both as humor and as satire simply because it has a point to make and uses absurdity and outrageousness to make it. However, even these bits are not entirely successful, as the ones set in a Jewish market and on a beach in which he's trying to give black passersby free boat trips back to Africa fall miserably flat.
Unfortunately, most of the rest of the skits involve largely unfunny - and often very crude - ideas indifferently executed. Even when a sequence starts off promisingly, the writers often drag it out long past the point where it's amusing anymore. The basic mistake here is in not realizing that inappropriateness, in and of itself, is not a sufficient basis upon which to construct a comedy if there isn't the wit and imagination necessary to make the material funny. And I'm pretty sure that Brody, Rob Schneider, Michelle Rodriquiez and Lindsay Lohan will want to have this particular movie permanently expunged from their wikipedia and IMDb pages as quickly as possible. You know you have a real stinker of a movie when even someone as incapable of embarrassment as Lohan seems ashamed to be associated with it.
And just in case you're wondering, the APP in the title refers to the desktop icon through which an anonymous finger accesses each of the skits on his tablet.
Not quite on a par with that other recent anthology comedy, "Movie 43," in terms of sheer awfulness (what could be?), "InAPPropriate Comedy" nevertheless ranks as one of the least funny comedies of recent times.

This would be one of the worst movies ever made. It was a nice idea to be offensive. But they didn't a good job at all in it. At some parts in the movie I even wondered if they did a job at all coming up with it. It is more like randomly played bad jokes. There really is no level of humor at all throughout the full length of the movie. There was only one good thing about the movie. And that is that is has an end. If you want to watch this please try something else. You will never get those eighty minutes of your life back. Yes it really is that bad. The only reason that I did watch it was because I couldn't believe a movie could be that bad. And contain nothing funny at all. Greetings.
DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE! I AM WARNING YOU!
My husband and I went this afternoon and it was absolutely horrendous. I should've known before going seeing a 2.8 rating out of 10 but I thought what the heck, the trailer looks funny. There were only 8 people in the theater and at least 6 of them left early. I couldn't stomach another second of it. Do yourself a favor and stay as far as you can away from this movie.
I wasted an hour of my life on this movie and will never be able to get it back.
If I were able to give this less than 1 star, I would. Unfortunately it doesn't let me do 1/4 or 1/2 stars or even negative stars. This is an absolute waste of time.

No matter how long you think about it, you can not do anything to this movie to take it down a notch. Adding literally anything that could be terrible would add value to this movie. Got a 5 hour shot of a monkey that scratches its ass? Add two stars. Live feed of growing grass? At least it'd cover the scenes there already. All in all, I probably can't tell you more about this move than a single sentence....
The Sham-Wow guy, Rob Schneider, and Lindsay Lohan got together and filmed a movie that, impossibly, made them all seem to be worth even less as human beings.
Avoid it at all costs...no matter what sort of cheese has ever appealed to you, this will not. If you DO happen to watch it, and find out you liked it...do the remaining 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the planet a favor and leave by any means possible
