Well, this is unfortunate. Originally, I was assigned to write an essay about Cheers versus Married with Children. That’s a piece I could do in my sleep with one hand down my pants. (An Al Bundy reference, not a masturbation reference, just to be clear.) I was going to pretend to struggle with this alleged dilemma (Married with Children was so groundbreaking, so criminally underrated, a refreshing tonic to the sweetness of The Cosby Show, I’d claim), before “deciding” on Sam and Diane and friends.

Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds’s body-switching comedy The Change-Up opens this weekend, and the critics agree: It’s “raunchy,” “lowbrow,” “scatological,” “erratic,” and “unexciting.” Nearly every review mentions that a baby defecates in a man’s mouth in the film, which makes The Change-Up a filthy descendant of Freaky Friday. “Freaky Friday meets The Hangover … ” —Washington Post “Think an R-rated Freaky Friday with dudes … While this raunchy Freaky Friday meets Trading Places has some laughs, it’s more often frat-boy crass, frantic and formulaic.

Matt Damon in The Great Wall. If you don’t love The Great Wall, we don’t have much to talk about. Yes, it’s terrible, but it’s lavishly, generously terrible, and even at its worst it isn’t painful — unlike, say, the list of finalists for this year’s Razzie awards. (Try sitting through Zoolander 2 and tell me how bad The Great Wall is.) It’s fun to watch Matt Damon try not to look or sound like Matt Damon, dropping his voice half an octave, sucking in his gut, affecting a manly stoicism.

The credits to Adam Wingard’s 2011 home-invasion thriller You’re Next read like a who’s who of the independent horror film world, with a cast that includes A.J. Bowen, Simon Barrett, Amy Seimetz, Larry Fessenden, and Ti West. But it’s another name that stands out, one tied to an earlier era of horror: Barbara Crampton.
