Mommy dearest!

You want to see a funny movie? Check out "mommy Dearest" about the relationships between a daughter and a narcissistic, histrionic hollywood star. Mommy says, "why don't you give me the respect that I'm ENTITLED." Daughter answers, because I'm not a fan!!!!!!! With that, mommy jumps on top of daughter and starts choking her. It's pretty funny stuff. How did I ever miss this movie? I was LMAO. And who can forget the line, "NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!"

I know it wasn't intended to be funny and that's what makes it even funnier - the irony. It's like the movie takes itself very seriously but it falls short of it's intended impact. I liken the petty fighting and squabbling to the three stooges.

i hear you, that is exactly what maeks it funny, i alsothink alot of scarface is funny,especialy when tony starts to scream at people! the funniestmovies sometimes are the ones that werent supposed to be funny at all

Who doesn't love scarface and "say hello to my little friend" in a cuban accent?! Although I see what you mean, scarface, unlike mommy dearest, is a respected movie and a classic. Mommy dearest really reveals the author (or step daughter) as a person who has an axe to grind I think. But I am intrigued by Crawford's Narcissism. I think there's definately some truth to that inspite of the movies overstatements and histrionics. Usually, where there's Narcissism there's also sadism as well. I think the film would have been more balanced if it made an effort to humanize Crawford rather than making her into a cartoon though. Those petty little fights were too funny though. I'd watch it again.
