: : That's definitely true. If there's one thing about great comedy, it's that it doesn't age well. Just look at "Monty Python & The Holy Grail"! I mean, seriously, it's set somewhere in the 1200s! sooooo dated.
: It's different type of film though. The trailer for "Run Ronnie Run" alone features spoofs of "Survivor" and the Boy-band trend, among others. Both of those are clearly not as popular as they were last year, and there are other parodies of both out there. I'm not saying the film won't be funny, as I'm sure it will be hilarious, but you have to admit that the delay makes bits like this seem outdated.
It doesn't sound like a very good movie. My original point stands; great comedies don't parody trends, they set trends.
