5. I like them both, but it probably helps if you grew up with Popeye cartoons.

8. Ooooh. Harsh. I agree with most, except I think the comedy-killing film for Dana Carvey was
"Blank Slate."

And the comedy-killer for Garofolo was definitely "The Matchmaker." Which is pretty much the point where I stopped caring about her altogether.

10. Wrong about School of Rock.
This was a PG-13 Tenacious D, and rather great.

Garofalo gets a pass for Truth About Cats & Dogs, too, for hotness.

11. I really enjoyed "Truth About Cats and Dogs",
and not just for her hotness (although she IS hot). We had originally gone to see "Twister", but every show was sold out. We saw "Truth" on a whim, and were very glad we did.

It was directed by "Heathers" director Michael Lehmann, btw.
