Day After Tomorrow, The : Movie Review


Day After Tomorrow, The (2004) - Movie PosterMove over, Shrek 2. DreamWorks’ ode to ogres in love produced its fair share of guffaws, but it can’t hold a candle to Roland Emmerich’s latest world-in-peril thriller The Day After Tomorrow, clearly the funniest film you’ll see this year.

Laughs may be unintentional, but they come at a fast and furious clip. A news chopper flies alongside multiple tornadoes marauding Los Angeles but remains airborne and unscathed. Survivors holed up inside of New York’s public library are advised to “ride out” a pending ice age, which I thought typically lasted thousands of years. A Rhode Island-sized block of ice breaks off its glacial base, and the crack just happens to run through the middle of climatologist Jack Hall’s (Dennis Quaid) Antarctic camp. And former Riptide star Perry King plays the President of the United States! C’mon people, that’s funny.
