Film Cliche's

Comedy

comedy films can have a wide range of different age groups but it depends on the persons own sense of humour to weather they find it a successful film.

in comedy's there is usually a idiot who goes through a journey and becomes a hero. this intrigues the audience as it gives them hope for when things are not going right for themselves, such as not being able to pay the bills, getting fired from a job, or not have any friends. there is usually a best friend who is the sidekick and who usually doesn't have a lot going for them either.

it is cliche in comedy's for there to be a love interest, this person is normally allot more successful and then complete opposite to the main character who nothing goes right for, this again gives the audience a sense of hope and allows them to relate to the film. Normally in comedy's there are allot of stereotypes, such as racial, sexuality and disabilities.

Dodgeball

In the film dodge ball there is a guy who thinks hes the best at everything and who takes the mic out of other people, he takes the mic out of people who are over weight and many cliche jokes are used throughout the film. there is then the opposite to his character as you see a guy in a dirty flat who has messages on his phone about him not paying the bills, this shows the difference between the two characters. you are then introduced to the two gyms where each of them works, one gym is very modern and successful while the other is old fashioned and doesn't have many people there, this reflects their two men's lifestyles.

the unsuccessful man has an idiot friend who is his sidekick throughout the film, this is very cliche in comedy's. there is a lot of physical comedy between the two gyms and there is an old man who thinks hes younger then he is, this plays on different stereotypes. you are introdroduced to a love interest who both men are interested in, this intrigues the audience as they want to find out who she ends up with, even though in most comedy's it is cliche that she ends up with the 'least expected' unsuccessful man.
