Perhaps you'd like the 1970s remake: Return of the Pink Panther.

Glad someone mentioned Monkey Business. One of my favorite "not truly great but I love it anyway" films. Grant seemed to have several of those.
Might consider the possibility that plunking Cary Grant charm down in the midst of nonsensical movie-ness was actually a pretty good formula.
Which, like James Cagney with "You dirty rat!", he apparently never actually said.
"I don't have to outrun the bear. I just have to outrun you."
I thought that was where you pretend you're a band-band despite having one of the most famous people in the world writing the songs and singing lead and putting his wife in there.
Eh.
Me either. It wasn't so much the talking baby per se, but that he was a douchebag.
You mean they cheated against the packers in the 90s and still lost? Sheesh.
Hey look. That "Mad Dog" guy is a commenter here!
I'm a Colts fan. I'll never get over it. :-)
I'm not a big sports-radio listener (and still not a first-time caller), but I've heard enough of it to feel like the main problem with this movie is that it actually gets the sports-radio caller dynamic exactly wrong. Usually, it seems like the people who are clearly regular listeners and callers don't, in fact,…

Since I mentioned it above, Haywire comes to mind. But to defend The Grey (good, not great), I think the critique that the ending essentially negates the point of watching it is silly. Even beyond "it's the journey, not the destination" (though that's true), I think the movie pretty clearly established its fatalistic…
Swing Time (or pretty much any Astaire-Rogers movie). A lot of Samuel Fuller (Pickup on South Street, say). North By Northwest, or any of its stylish/fun action progeny that are well done, from Charade to Haywire. Happens all the time.
What exactly are you doing with the popcorn?
Mine would have been Airplane. And I would have told you not to call me Shirley.
Agreed. And I don't know exactly when it was written (I read it in late 80s/early 90s), but it seemed to have an insistence on graphically written sex scenes which, though I don't doubt had (and have) some general basis in truth when it comes to the lifestyle of a professional athlete (and perhaps of clean-n-fun…
Great line, first thing I think of when I think of this movie. And what I thought of yesterday when I saw the NCAA's response to the Northwestern players' announcement of intention to unionize.
That's a bad thing? I thought you were supposed to Trebek yourself before you wreck yourself.
