(From Wikipedia):
Slapstick films are comedy films where physical comedy that includes pratfalls, tripping, falling, practical jokes, mistakes, are highlighted over dialogue, plot and character development.[1] The physical comedy in these films contains a cartoonish style of violence that is predominantly harmless and goofy in tone.

    Super Troopers gets a 9.  It gets funnier the more you watch it and should reach 10 for me soon.

    I've only seen parts of that movie, need to watch the whole thing! Found it on Amazon prime, so I will rate it this weekend, F Me. Hope you don't mind if we skip this movie for now.

    What About Bob?

    5  It's good for a watch, not great.

    PC U

    A 8.5  Overall has some weak parts but Bill Murray is just great so it gets a great score.
    (No worries on skipping it, perhaps was too obscure.)

    Is this screw-bally enough?  Perhaps you can put a definition in the op?

    I've just been googling movie titles along with the words "screwball comedy" to see if a review has deemed the movie worthy of being a screwball comedy. That way I can blame a specific person if someone challenges the validity of a movie. ;)
    I'm having a hard time confirming that Wet Hot American Summer is indeed a screwball comedy, so I would say prepare for someone with a stick up their butt to raise hell. :smiley:

    I googled and it would appear screwball is a subgenre of romantic comedies.....hhmmm.

    Well, you are the OP, so however you want to define/re-define is up to you.
    Not sure that WHAS "satirizes the traditional love story"  (wiki), although there is some romance going on there.

    Yeah, the definition left a bad taste in my mouth. How about "Slapstick Comedy"? The definition is more palatable and just about all of the movies already rated apply.

    You own it!

    Screwball! Change it back. :angry: 

    Let's not overthink this.

    Hobbes, do you want to rate a subgenre of romantic comedies?

    The only slapstick I can think of that I like are the Marx Brothers.

    Yes, I am an old fuck.

    (Slapstick is not my favorite genre)
