He is and he is quite funny.  The gag is that he plays a nun but they don't do a whole lot to disguise the fact that it is Larry. They don't even hide the major man hair on his arms.

There have been quite a few good movies based on TV shows, some of them REALLY good. One of them is in theaters right now: 21 Jump Street. There's also The Naked Gun, it seems like one of the X-Files movies might have been alright, Mission Impossible III (and according to critics IV, but I didn't like it), The Simpsons, The Fugitive, Dragnet, Southpark, The Untouchables, Serenity, Star Trek.

Vigo:
True, although a lot of those movies you mentioned were done by the same people who did the actual TV show. There isn't a whole lot of reinventing going on. Some of them even felt like an hour and a half long episode.

I totally forgot about Dragnet though. It is probably one of the first attempts to make a parody movie out of serious, but dated show. And it was from back when Tom Hanks and Dan Akroyd were funny. It was awesome that they brought back Harry Morgan into the movie as well.

Mission Impossible was destroyed from the first film, and as long as the movies have Tom Cruise in them, I am not going to watch it, I might have been better if it didn't take on name, but it was a complete d-bag slap in the face to the original show and written only let Tom cruise prance around rather than pull from the show. Jim is the villian? I don't think they even gave him a good enough motive to turn evil after years of missions, yet he kills off his own team first 10 minutes. :banghead: I can't even remember the plot of the 2nd one, and the 3rd one I didn't watch. I think they are on the 4th now.

Mission Impossible was destroyed from the first film . . .

My feelings about the first movie were identical to yours. It was like a betrayal. The second movie was just a generic crappy John Woo film. The third one was pretty damned good, though. Philip Seymore Hoffman made a great villain. The critics loved the fourth film, but I secretly believe they all wanted to love it because it was the live-action debut of Hollywood darling Brad Bird (The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, Ratatouille). I thought the fourth one sucked, but compared to the first two it's a masterpiece.
