Stella (2005)

Muy bien, senor!

[29 June 2005]

Stella is pure comedy genius. If you fancy non-sensical and bizarre humor, Stella is right down your alley.

I was introduced to this comedy trio while living in NYC and got the chance to see them live a couple of times. Each show introduced a new film short, which was the part of the show I looked most forward to. When I heard about the Comedy Central show, I was super stoked.

The pilot episode gave me the impression that they are going to bring the laughs without diluting the oddball humor that made them famous in NYC. While we probably won't be hearing any obscenities or seeing as many sex shop props, I am confident Stella's going to be a hit.

Dinner Rush (2000)

Solid

[8/10 · 3 February 2003]

I found this movie very enjoyable. I thought the dialogue was witty and precise, the script very tight as a whole. I give great credit to the writers - they hit the nail on the head in terms of their portrayal of NYC restaurant life. As someone who worked at a busy New York eatery, I thought that the characters in the movie were frightenly similar to those you come across in real New York restaurants. I'm surprised the movie hasn't seen any significant publicity (that I know of) and especially surprised that this was the first effort by this talented writing duo.
