Pros: cinematograhy, some smiles
Cons: more eye-roll-provocation than laugh-generating ones, the nets
Although I can find obliviousness (cluelessness) funny (whereas it is very rare for me to find drunken antics amusing), the supposed "slapstick classic" from 1953, "Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot" (Mr. Hulot's Vacation) tried my patience. Written, ...

Pros: Tati and the sights and sounds of his vacation
Cons: What's the problem with a vacation like this?
Jacques Tati was a talented and meticulous filmmaker with a gentle and wonderful sense of humor. During the course of 25 years, he starred in and directed just five feature length movies, and they recall the silent era, where words were secondary to...

Pros: wonderfully charming french comedy
Cons: who needs story?!
Chevy Chase once said that one of his influences was the great Jacques Tati and it’s easy to see the influence from the very original and authentic talent of the French filmmaker. I would venture to say that Woody Allen, and especially that comedic ...

Pros: Humor based on subtle sight gags, mannerisms, and sound effects
Cons: Provides a steady stream of amusement rather than belly-laughs

Pros: Clever sight gags
Cons: Loose story structure
Ah, summer. Relaxation, ice cream, swimming, playing in the sand, interacting with friends, and Mr. Hulot. What's that last one you say? Well, Mr. Hulot is French actor/director Jacques Tati's famous creation, the eccentric but gentle everyman ...

Pros: A magical adventure of timeless comedy!
Cons: None
This is my all time favorite movie. Watching this timeless wonder, takes me back to my childhood. To my holiday at the seaside in Britain. It is a nostalgic look at the forties/early fifties. No one in this movie is in any hurry. From the opening at the...
