@CMrok93 - My only fear is that Helms will get stuck playing the same role over and over. While Cedar Rapids looks promising, it seems very similar to his work in The Hangover.
@thevoid99 - The Ice Age teaser trailers with the squirrel are always entertaining. Too bad the rest of the film never lives up the teaser.
@Dan - Was number 7 the one where they went to Moscow? They all started to blend together after a while... Still, Police Academy 1 & 2 were entertaining.
Actually, it was called Police Academy: Mission to Moscow. That one sucked. That's my least favorite of the entire series.
I do love that franchise. Notably the first four with Steve Guttenberg. I grew up watching those films as a teen. The next two with Matt McCoy were OK but nothing interesting. The 7th in Moscow seemed uninspiring as it wasted the likes of Ron Perlman, Claire Forlani, and Christopher Lee. I could geek out on that entire franchise.
@thevoid99 - Speaking of Police Academy, they have been showing number two on television up here a lot recently. Which is funny considering we just finished a week straight of Back to the Future marathons. I guess the cable networks are going back to the classics.
@Marshall - Hopefully this will do for Helms what The 40 Year-old Virgin did for Carrell.
Cedar Rapids actually looks very funny, and will prove if Helms actually can carry a film. Which from what it seems, he can.
ReplyDeleteHi CS... my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteWell, Cedar Rapids looks like it would be a fun film while I like that short for the new Ice Age though I don't want to see another one.
I suspect they will continue to make Ice Age movies until people stop going to see them.
ReplyDeletePolice Academy 7 anyone? *shudder*

I'm quite excited for Cedar Rapids! Ed Helms is the man on The Office.
