'Inappropriate Comedy' (stylized as 'inAPPropriate Comedy') is a 2013 American satirical sketch comedy film directed by Vince Offer. It stars Ari Shaffir (who also co-wrote), Rob Schneider, Michelle Rodriguez, Adrien Brody and Lindsay Lohan, and was released on March 22, 2013.

The film was originally envisioned as a sequel to Offer's previous anthology, 'The Underground Comedy Movie', and called 'Underground Comedy 2010'.[http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/inappropriate-comedy-red-band-trailer/ Someone Thought It Was a Good Idea to Spend Money On This], Rope of Silicon Trailers for 'Underground Comedy 2010' were released to TV and the internet before the film being billed as 'Inappropriate Comedy'. It is also a partial remake of Offer's previous film, recycling the sketches "Flirty Harry" and "Sushi Mama". The film was a critical and commercial failure, was panned by critics and fans for its inappropriate for children and pop culture references.

Production



Lohan's scenes were shot in 2010 for 'Underground Comedy 2010', a production that would have mixed newly filmed sketches with sketches from the original 1997 production of 'The Underground Comedy Movie'. The alcohol-detecting ankle monitor she was ordered to wear after she failed to show up for a court hearing is clearly visible as she stands on the street grate.

A trailer for 'Underground Comedy 2010' was released in August of that year. The project was eventually expanded to a fully new feature film with the production of additional new sketches. Ari Shaffir's segment mixed footage with unknowing collaborators and staged action, mostly using the same people brought back "to do a little extra so we can build a story or get me some comeuppance".[http://thecomicscomic.com/2013/03/27/ari-shaffir-on-co-writing-and-starring-in-inappropriate-comedy/ Ari Shaffir on co-writing and starring in InAPPropriate Comedy]

The film is directed by Vince Offer, who also directed 'The Underground Comedy Movie' and, between the two films, became better known for his infomercial sales pitches (his best known product being the ShamWow absorbent towel).

Reception



'InAPPropriate Comedy' was called worse than 'Movie 43' by Frank Scheck of 'The Hollywood Reporter'. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 0%, based on 5 reviews. At Metacritic, it holds a score of 1 out of 100, based on 5 reviews, meaning overwhelming dislike. It is tied with '10 Rules for Sleeping Around', 'Chaos', 'Bio-Dome', 'Not Cool', 'The Singing Forest', 'The Garbage Pail Kids Movie', 'Death of a Nation', 'Hardbodies', and 'United Passions' as the worst reviewed film on the site.

Lohan was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress for her performance in the film (also for 'Scary Movie 5'), but lost to Kim Kardashian for 'Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor'.

The film earned $172,000 from 275 theaters, for a location average of $625 in its opening weekend.
