Review of Mr. Woodcock (2007) by Milla V — 20 Dec 2012

(** ) It's a pleasant enough movie with a cast that really suit their parts. I was a little perturbed by the constant onslaught of gags based around Mr. Woodcock being a jerk. With the first scene I was already tired of just watching him be mean to kids. I guess those scenes are necessary but that's where it should have stopped, as opposed to their continuation throughout the film. Billy Bob did a good job, but I'd like to see him not being typecast for once. I bet even Billy wishes Bad Santa would just die already. It was a good movie, but it's kinda trapped him since.

Aside, the plot presents itself in some interesting ways, but the overall flow is very foreseeable. I enjoyed the humor, aside from some of the more unbearable gags that don't make you laugh (i.e. Farley caught under the bed while his mom makes love). Worth a watch, but not if there's anything else you've been wanting to see.
