When the two Snow White movies were coming out last year, I was curious about both. Mostly I thought Snow White and the Huntsman would be the more enjoyable (though I wasn’t sure about Kristen Stewart) and I thought Mirror, Mirror would be more laughable because I don’t have a lot of . . . → Read More: Mirror, Mirror

This movie wasn’t really what I expected. From the preview I expected a little funny and more sex than there actually was. But it was *really* funny, much funnier than anything I’ve seen in a long time. And not a contrived sort of funny, just a really natural kind of funny.

Odd rather fun movie.
I loved the cast! And I mostly liked the characters. I 80% liked the characters, but didn’t full on love them.

Comedy is hard enough for me to enjoy and even to rate because the things . . . → Read More: You Again

In some ways, Zach Efron completely makes this movie. And not just because he’s a lot more interesting to watch than Matthew Perry.
The premise is something we’ve seen plenty of before but it manages to be fresh and enjoyable in this incarnation. Partly because it’s well written. Partly because the secondary . . . → Read More: 17 Again

I don’t really watch comedies because my sense of humor is a bit odd. I also don’t really review comedies because either you laugh or you don’t and most are intended to be so outlandish (in order to get you to laugh) that it’s not really fair to judge them on the . . . → Read More: Get Smart
