Netflix: My First Mister (2001)
There are some movies on netflix that you hate so much that you can't wait to log back into your account and drop the one-star bomb on their sucky-movie asses.
Albert Brooks was rockin' a ridiculous looking porn/pedophile mustache, which was strangle a propos.
A whiny, angsty high school melodrama with pedophilic undertones.
And so, thus endeth the notes for my thoughts on My First Mister which I typed many, many months ago. For me, Albert Brooks at his best is forever traipsing at the precipice of annoying. In this case, he plummeted off the edge about 8 seconds into the movie Wile E. Coyote style with anvil in tow.
Netflix's summary (I doubt Netflix actually wrote the text) starts with, "An underappreciated comedy . . . " Truer words were never spoken.

Man, does that movie suck. It sullied the good name of the Cedar Lee theater for all of two weeks. Unfortunately, I was there to watch it for one of them.

Though it would imply that someone actually appreciated it which, frankly, is impossible to believe.
Also, don't comedies generally have to make you laugh at some point?
