Arrested Development is a tv show starring one of my favorite then-teen stars,
Jason Bateman. I know this isn't a movie, but I rented it on netflix and I make the rules, so I'm reviewing it here. This is a very dry, dark comedy about a family filled with overpriced losers and a straight-man, Bateman. It gets funnier and funnier the more I watch it. I recommend renting the first disk, and watching a few episodes from the beginning. One episode probably won't do it for you.
Portia DeRossi and
Jeffrey Tambor star with a variety of newcomers. One taste of the humor is the characters have names like Maeby, Gob which is pronounced like Job of the Bible and stands for George O. Bluth, and George Michael.
Thanks to Seraphim for recommending this.
