darin3 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) I logged some serious couch time this long weekend, having to help my girlfriend move into my place... ...and needing breaks. So I caught a good portion of two movies this weekend, both of which - in my opinion - are vastly underrated. One is a movie I'm not embarrassed in the least to mention: The Great White Hype (IMDB link) ... talk about a cast: Samuel L. Jackson, Jamie Foxx, Damon Wayans, Jon Lovitz, Cheech, Jeff Goldblum and some funny cameos. And the second is one of those ridiculous simple pleasures that for some reason makes me laugh out loud every time I see it, although it is sort of... uh... .... and that would be Little Giants ... with Al Bundy... errr, Ed O'Neil (who is hilarious) and Rick Moranis ... those kids make me giggle. So, what are two movies that YOU think are "underrated"; one which you're not ashamed to say, and the other that makes you ???

Chargerz Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 "The Patriot" with Mel Gibson. Most critics panned it, but I'm not ashamed to say I liked it. I enjoyed "Hitch" with Will Smith. (My wife made me see it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I saw "Big Trouble" for the first time this weekend. I didn't know it was based on a Dave Barry book. It was a lot funnier than I thought it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time i saw it I thought it was the biggest peice of trash ever created. Then for some reason, I watched it again... and I loved it.
