Jonah Hill
Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, & Christopher Mintz-Plasse—
Superbad
—07/30/07
Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, & Christopher Mintz-Plasse: [Hill:] 'The only reaction we've had with Lindsay Lohan was that impression we were doing of the newspaper...I was doing an impression of her s#$tting her pants in jail.'
Accepted (2006)
Here's the pitch for
Accepted
:
Animal House
meets
Ferris Bueller
.
10 Items or Less (2006)
A ridiculous but cheerful toss-off...amusing and charming.
Superbad (2007)
A riotous story of friendship, debauchery, and pizza bagels.
The Invention of Lying (2009)
Succeeds in being a daring satire by positing Mark as a Messiah...It’s a shame that the comedy tends to be repetitive, and more funny clever than funny ha ha.
How to Train Your Dragon (2010)
The 3D is justified, mostly by flying sequences that are certain to fuel the dreams of many a child.
Get Him to the Greek (2010)
Reaches its apex with a manic party scene that unleashes the full intimidation of P. Diddy and guarantees the phrase “stroke the furry wall” a place in the comedy lexicon...
Megamind (2010)
The promise of extraordinary brain power isn't fulfilled.
The Watch (2012)
According to an old showbiz saw, the key to comedy is timing. Well, the new big-budget sci-fi comedy
The Watch
has a problem there.
This Is the End (2013)
This type of thing has already been diluted by...Funny or Die...The main difference...is that
This is The End
is profane in the extreme, an R-rated stoner comedy gleefully grafted onto a 'splatstick' horror picture...
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Rests comfortably alongside Scorsese's masterpieces
Goodfellas
and
Casino
, but carries a sting that even they don't by examining the most acceptable, yet most rapacious, of criminal swindles.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)
While delivering the epic goods, the
How to Train Your Dragon
franchise continues to keep its eye on helping kids become better people, and that's a cause worth fighting for.
22 Jump Street (2014)
Purposely blurs the lines between the actors and their characters for 'meta' gags, but it doesn't change what the movie is: just another dumb sequel.
True Story (2015)
Does a lot of its work with its tongue-in-cheek title, a meta commentary on the not-so-broad spectrum of liar, actor, fiction writer, filmmaker and journalist.
Hail, Caesar! (2016)
In a way, the amusing, preposterous
Hail, Caesar!
, for all its arch postmodernism, becomes what it pastiches, resembling the kind of '50s film we can now watch and admire for a kind of cultural reflection without exactly considering it a success.
War Dogs (2016)
Captures something of runaway modern greed, played out as a bro movie from bro stars and a bro filmmaker...[but] might have been a fresh classic of political satire instead of a crime comedy that plays as sub-Scorsesean riff.
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019)
The little franchise that could is all grown up and ready to leave the nest, so wipe that tear away, and say your goodbyes, kids...For now...
