Merry almost Christmas! It’s one of my favorite times of the year! So, c’mon kids, let’s go! Grab your cocoa and meet me by the Christmas tree! We have important things to discuss!

When did the Farrelly brothers get so touchy-feely? This is the filmmaking duo Bobby and Peter, who gave us such oft-crude comedies as Dumb and Dumber, Osmosis Jones and There’s Something About Mary.

Let’s face it: we love competitions. It is amazing how people who have almost nothing in common become bosom buddies when rooting for their team at a sports event.
