I don't completely agree.

It's about 50/50. It's partly mocking the ridiculousness of the movie's premise but it's also mocking Tobias — the joke is also that not only is the premise ridiculously infeasible but that Tobias is utterly unqualified and incompetent at reenacting it.

The genius of stuff like this like I said in my longer comment is that it generally doesn't really require you to be familiar with the source material.

Mrs. Featherbottom isn't funny because she's some kind of trenchant satire of the intrinsic shittiness of Mrs. Doubtfire as a film. I agree that that kind of "Take that!" cheap shot dates a comedy and makes it age badly.

The irony is that if Amelie Gilette took that attitude toward the media she consumes this feature would not exist.

Well, there you go. Your first time can be good, as long as you're gay.

It's like how the JJ Abrams Star Trek reboot had to make damn sure there was a green-skinned space babe — and featured her prominently in the advertising and had a relatively well-known TV actress, Rachel Nichols, play her — even though the character has nothing at all to do with the plot of the film and the original…

It's one of the problems with serialized television — they had to do repeated fakeouts early on because they weren't sure if they were going to get renewed or not, so they had to create a buildup where if the show had to end they could do a reveal that was dramatically satisfying to the audience that the mother was…

It was actually a big giant relief that Ros didn't end up the love interest for Frasier. It's a common complaint but it bears repeating that it's annoying and problematic that TV shows have such a hard time showing strong, genuine, supportive male/female friendships that don't involve romance or sex.

If someone competent had been in charge of actually deepening the storyline and giving it weight, a Phoebe-based spinoff of Friends could've been golden, the way Frasier ended up as a spinoff of Cheers based on one of its least likable halfway-in-the-background characters.

The funny thing is when they did that parallel-universe episode where everyone had ended up a totally different person by making a different choice at some point in their past, Phoebe became a wealthy, high-maintenance, money-obsessed, dickish Republican stockbroker.
