Big fan of the Coen but can't stand Raising Arizona

I have tried and tried but I simply can’t. I owned to the coen my love of cinema. Barton Fink and Blood SImple are two of my favourites movies, hudsucker, big lebowski and even O’Brother are pretty funny but I can’t stand Raising Arizona. After 4 viewings, I just don’t laugh. The only one of their I like less than this one is Ladykillers. Is there anybody in the same spot as me since this is generally their more acclaimed comedy along with Big Lebowski.

What I don’t get is why people go out of their way to try to like a movie. If you don’t like it you just don’t like it. I wish I liked Taxi Driver so people would stop giving me shit about it, but frankly I couldn’t stand the watch the movie again if it would cure AIDS.

I like Raising Arizona but it’s one of my least favorite of their films. And that’s fine.

Hey, if you don’t think the Huggies chase scene is funny, you don’t think the Huggies chase scene is funny. I’m certainly not going to be the one to give you shit about it.

But if i didn’t think the Huggies chase scene was funny, I don’t think I’d want to live with myself.

To the OP: “Son, you got a panty on your head.”

That’s all I’m going to say.

There’s certainly better things you could like worse.

I kind of agree…the humour seems dated and cartoony…Although Holly Hunter was amazing
