Is a huge blockbuster with some of the biggest names in the industry what you would describe as "uncommon"?

It's not by definition, but personally, I'm not sure I ever hear anyone talk about it. It feels like it flew under the radar of classic comedies from that time period.

Edit: It doesn't even show up on this list from IMDb of 50 comedies between 2000 and 2009

Okay, but that random list maker did also include "White Chicks" in that top 50 list.

Yeah, I realized that it was by some random user, but I couldn't find a better list of comedies in that time period because Google has been god-awful lately.

It definitely flew under the radar. I would say most people have never seen it.
