What Happens in Vegas (2008)

What Happens in Vegas (2008)

First, this movie was meant to be a lighthearted romance/comedy and in my opinion…it achieved it’s goal.  The story line was very predictable, but Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher managed to pull it all together delightfully.

This movie wasn’t meant to be some great work of art and we may not remember it next year…but it gave me a few much needed minutes to sit back…be entertained…and just laugh.

A definite date movie. 

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Let me open this comment with the disclaimer that this movie is definitely…NOT FOR KIDS! It is a comedy filled with crude humor and male nudity… aimed squarely at an audience in the 18-45-age range…who aren’t easily offended.  In my opinion this movies is not in the same class as other Apatow projects like “Knocked Up”, and “Superbad”…but it is funny.  Overall this is a fun movie…the script is good…the characters are likeable…the acting was much better than I expected and I had a good time watching it…isn’t that what movies are all about!

Let me say this again…this movie is not for kids…not for people that get offended easily…probably not a first date kind of flick either. But for those of you that fall in that in-between category…go for it!

Leatherheads

Leatherheads was not a bad movie…. it just was not a great one.
It had all the elements of a great movie…fabulous leading actors…with
strong performances, awesome costume design…true to the period,
wonderful music and visuals…but…it just was a slow mover as a movie.
Funny in parts…light hearted in others…I was entertained…just not as
much as I had hoped.
I did enjoy the movie and would recommend it…just not a favorite.

Definitely, Maybe

First of all…yes this is a chick-flick, it is entertaining and worth watching for no other reason than Ryan Reynolds…what a doll.  He knows how to keep the laughs coming.  At times it can be a little slow (could’ve been shorter)… a little unbelievable…and the ending was predictable…but all in all it’s a good feel-good movie and worth the price of your ticket.

Heartwarming and funny.

Be Kind Rewind…

You must love Jack Black in all his glory to appreciate this movie.Totally original and ridicules at the same time. Great if you justwant to laugh at…not critique movies.Jack Black and Mos Def ‘s comedic styles truly compliment each other…they make a good team.It wasn’t the funniest movie I’ve ever seen, but it is Jack Black..what more can I say. A very unusual movie… TRY IT…YOU JUST MIGHT LIKE IT!

Be Kind Rewind not Academy Award worthy…but worth your time, even if you decide to wait for the video.

Walk Hard:  The Dewey Cox Story (2007)

This movie is a loosely based parody of the Ray Charles and Johnny Cash movies. I saw this flick with low expectations and was surprisingly shocked when I ended up laughing over and over again. More »
