Sept. 11 attacks, Iraqi war fuel comedies
HOLLYWOOD, April 18 (UPI) --
A new crop of movies from Hollywood have taken the war in Iraq and the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and turned them into comedies. Over the next few weeks, theaters will be screening such fare as a lighthearted Osama bin Laden documentary by the maker of "Super Size Me," a slam against merchants of war featuring John Cusack, a stoner movie about Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and a parody of the Sept. 11 attacks, The Politico reported Friday. The low-brow comedies follow a number of post-Sept. 11 dramas that tanked at the box office, including big-budget films "Lions for Lambs" and "A Mighty Heart," and the low-budget movie, "Redacted." "Postal," touted as "shock comedy," has buxom female commandos facing bin Laden and the Taliban, the movie's promotional material says. Larry Thomas, known as the Soup Nazi in "Seinfield," portrays bin Laden. Stoners Harold and Kumar, introduced to audiences in "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle," find themselves running afoul of airport security and being sent to Guantanamo Bay in "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay." "We really don't think Guantanamo Bay is a joke," says Njambi Good of Amnesty International USA.
