American Psycho

The humour is perfect in my opinion. But, I think the movie is hilarious too and have watched with other people and they are all, "what are you laughing at?"

I've read these but they barely raised a chuckle out of me. Does that make me a pleb. I've always found the Jeeves and Wooster short stories hilarious.
