InAPPropriate Comedy

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.

Funny Funny Funny! AR was great! Every single racist skit was just off the hook! I would say every skit except for Lohan was fantastic! Its a movie..a joke..people... I can not believe such low ratings.

Don't follow the rest of the sheep.. See this! You will laugh laugh laugh.. AR forever!!! Free Boat trips!! Hahahah.

Driving instructer Skit..one of the best... I don't know which was funnier the girl or guy driver..

and the best...The priest in the market getting signatures. Muhahahahah!

Adrian Brodey was great as well!!

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

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.

This a film that shows why IMDb needs to add a zero star function, for giving this a film a rating equates that this film was in any shape or way good. The very fact that something like this can be made and given the release that it had is down right deplorable. It tries to be offensive, but utterly fails in that regard and just remains juvenile. The sketches themselves are absurd like a Jackass spoof called Blackass, which is just Jackass with black people. How about a play on words with the Amazing Racist, a sketch which is so soft that it is not so much offensive as it is cringe worthy, for it is played too safe. Lastly there is the Dirty Harry sketch called Flirty Harry(Adrien Brody) where everything out of his mouth is a double entendre and would make James Bond blush with embarrassment and I am talking about the Roger Moore Bond, how they managed to get Adrien Brody in this is beyond me. There are other sketches but these three are the ones they are proud of the most and that is not saying much. The framing of this film as different stories for different apps is entirely pointless, for the film seems to forget that what we are seeing are apps. At least in other bad films like The Room, Troll 2, and Birdemic, you at least can laugh at how poorly it is made, here there is no such luck, for you are ticking down how much longer can this 80 minute film go and makes Movie 43 look like a masterpiece of cinema. I would rather spend a month at Gitmo, than ever watch this sorry excuse for a film as long as I live.
