SCOTT: We’re not quite at the halfway point of 2010, but already the debate is raging: is this the worst movie year in the history of cinema? I’ll reserve judgment on that question until at least Thanksgiving, but it can’t be a good sign that it’s now considered news when studio executives put the call out to agents desperately seeking some of this “original material” they’ve heard about. Hell, even Entertainment Weekly recently took a break from humping the Twilight franchise long enough to bemoan this summer’s parade of creatively bankrupt retreads. But things must be looking up, because this week brings no sequels or remakes of any kind! It’s all original stuff, beginning with this comedy teaming SNL veterans Adam Sandler, David Spade, and Rob Schneider. Whoa, we’ve never seen that before! Chris Rock is also on hand, making a total of one actual funny person in the cast, although you’d never know it from his dismal big-screen track record. And then there’s Kevin James as the fat guy who got an invite because Chris Farley died twelve years ago. How about it, Andrew? Are you laughing yet?
