Ugh. Couldn’t think of any until you mentioned **Bubble Boy**. This is supposed to be funny? For the next movie, will there be paraplegics in wheelchairs getting run over by cars?

For “saw the trailer, don’t need to see the movie”, I’d nominate **Serendipity**.

Well it isn’t as if I thought BB was going to be a great movie. But as I said it at least had a few scenes from the trailer that made me giggle. Freddie Got Fingered had nothing in the trailer that resembled anything funny. I find that odd for a comedy picture.

PS: And yeah I do think some of that humor is funny. Ever see the South Park episode with the “Cripple Fight?”
