It's a little obscure so another hint:

A: I kinda liked Bubba Ho-Tep.
B: *Everyone* liked Bubba Ho-Tep.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

I had a guess after the quote was posted based on the film-interest history of the poster... 8-)

But I'm not eligible...

FWIW, I don't recall seeing the movie, so the second quote must have been in a trailer.

I am going to assume I won as I am pretty sure of the answer. Here's another quote:
Some people can read War and Peace and come away thinking it's a simple adventure story. Others can read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.

"Superman" (1978) with Christopher Reeve and Gene Hackman.  The quote is being delivered by Lex Luthor, played by Hackman.

I always did like the Superman movies with Christopher Reeve, probably because it didn't try to get too far afield from the Superman I remembered from the earlier TV series.  The music and themes created by John Williams certainly didn't hurt them any.

Bicycle Bill is correct. That was one of my favorite quotes from that movie.

And FWIW, I did like the first two Superman movies with Christopher Reeve, but then thin the series tanked with the Richard Prior picture posing as a Superman movie (3) and the nuclear disarmament debacle (4). The first two stuck to the comic book character of the 50s and 60s I recall, as well as the George Reeves one (it was a little bit campy, but not annoyingly so).

Well...

The reference to shorthand would seem to indicate that it's probably from the 50's or before...

(Or it could be a later made movie set in an earlier time...)

The quote itself indicates that it's all most certainly a comedy...

But other than that...
