This week's films are all about Comedy - and the guest judge is no stranger to the genre. Mark Waters is best known for "Mean Girls" and "Freaky Friday."

The show opens poolside as Adriana Costa and Gary Marshall visit the cast at their Hollywood home. They deliver the bad news ... Jessica received the fewest votes this week and is heading home.

Six filmmakers will be presenting their comedic masterpieces:


Shalani - Doctor In Law - The difficulty Shalani had in production didn't show in this film about the family struggles between fater and son in-laws. A Korean gentelman visits the doctor, with his son-in-law along acting as translator. The more the father-in-law insults the son, the angrier he becomes . Tired of his father-in-laws antics, the son translates incorrectly, and the doctor is tricked into giving the father-in-law an invasive colonoscopy!!

Carrie Fisher - Really good job! It was funny - you CAN do comendy!

Mark Waters - I liked the point-of-view and precise camera angles. But you're missing the first act.

Gary Marshal - I love relative humor - but - I didn't feel the ending was quiete complete - sort of like Adriana's dress!

Adam - Discovering The Wheel - A group of cavemen are attempting to impress the caewomen of the group. A bolt of lightning strikes, and a shiny red Mustang convertible appears. The cavepeople are curios and decide to explore the car. One caveman wins over the woman by accidently learning to drive the car. Suddenly - we flash to the modern day ancestors of the cavepeopl - clicking their key fob - and the Mustang full of cave people are transported back to 2007.

CF - I though tit was rather ambitious. I'm not exactly sure ... I thought it was good.

MW - It's hard to be cinematic AND funny at the same time. You didn't nail the "tag" - needs a better ending.

GM - a nice film, nice car, and very ambitious. It had my attention - but then so did the blond behind me.

Will - Nerve Endings - A dark conedy about a brain surgeon and his intern. An eager intern distracts a surgeon - causing the doctor to puncture the brain tissue. Called away to another emergency , the surgical team leaves the intern to hold his finger on the pulsating stream of blood from the patient. The intern discovers he can manipulate the patient by touching various parts of the brain .. and creates a "ballet" of sorts.

CF - You are so darling! Only you could make blood and and exposed brain seem adorable. I always like you.

MW - I've been watching every week and I think you're one of the most talented filmmakers here by far. But I thought this was a misfire.

GM - This movie scared me a little! I think it was my nightmare - but your good film. Good job.

Hillary - Under The Gun - A woman and her mother pull into the parking lot of a sperm bank and discuss wether or not to go through with concieving a baby this way. Convinced this is the right thing to do, they run into the bank and attempt to rob it. Accousting one of the male donors, they force him to make a deposit. Running outside, they trip and fall, the donation lands in the road and is crushed by a car. As they recover from their trip, a hunky guys walks into the bank, nd the women decide to rob it one more time.

CF - You reedemed yourself! I thought it was really good. I'm glad you're back!

MW - Your writing is always funny - tottaly fun to watch. It needed a better ending. Terrific job.

GM � sometimes a sperm bank is the only action some guys can get! Excellent!

David - How To Have A Girl - A sex comedy about a couple attempting to have a baby. Thy just don't agree on the gender the baby should be. Each with their own ideas, the couple attempt different techniques to ensure their own desired results. The film ends in the morning with a battered and bruised coupel waking up the the alarm, and the question "Do you want to try again?"

CF - I didn't really get it. I was confused. I didn't think it was a success and I have concerns for you this week.

MW � It had some really delicious comic conceit to it .. but it didn't really deliver on the promise.

GM - Sex is nice. I thought it was better than the wrestling in Borat. I think you've done better stuff.

Zach - Die Hardly Working - Two office workers fight boredom head on. A typicall day at the office is turned into a comedic battle when two men invent an "air war" with invisible weapons. It's a fight to the death - or at least until 5:00pm - when they pack up there things and head home.

CF - As Gary Marshall once said "Life is more important that show business!" Which has nothing to do with your film - it was fantastic and absolutely charming.

MW - You are ridiculously talented and I was impressed. It's hysterical. Really good choices.

GM - Boredom is a tough subject - but you did it. You made fighting and killing look silly - which is the way it should be made to look.

It's rather obvious that the judges like Zach .. and I don't blame them. Zach's my pick to win the whole contest as well. He's extremely talented, his concepts are executed well each week, and his story telling is spot on.

Next week the remaining six contestants will tackle the horror Movie genre .. and we see who's comedy received the least votes and who heads home.

As always, you can find all the Biggest Loser, Fat March, and MORE - reality news, scandal, spoilers and gossip at Willo's Web - get real!
