Film:  This Means War

I go back and forth between what is more painful to watch: a bad comedy or a bad drama.  This film tips the scale over to comedy.  See, a bad comedy has a desperation and pathetic-ness that a bad drama does not possess.  A bad drama tends to be boring, possibly incomprehensible, but it tends not to be humiliating.  Bad comedy can be a humiliating experience for all involved.  The desperation of people - writers, directors, actors - wanting laughs and being utterly charmless and witless is painful to watch.  And you feel the pain for them...versus bad drama, where you feel pain only for yourself.  (although perhaps nerd fantasy stuff could be an exception).
