As promised, this did in fact have a foul mouthed kid in it. If you are not a fan or coarse humor, or foul mouthed kids then don’t go see this movie. If you don’t mind them, you will probably enjoy this. Sure the premise is bizarre, but what comedy set up isn’t? I personally [...]

Finally, a Ben Stiller Movie that isn’t horrible! This was actually a funny little movie. Several good laughs.
But here is an important tip: Don’t come in late. This is a movie where you want to sit through the trailers. Some of the best work is hidden in there.
This is not a politically correct movie (if [...]

I’m a girl. I have girl friends. It was all but inevitable that I would end up going to see this. So, I went.
I hadn’t watched the show all that often, but I knew the basics (4 women, different types, good friends, love of shoes and lots of drinking – those are the basics, right?). [...]

George Clooney has directed only 3 movies, the last one being “Good Night and Good Luck.” Are you expecting great things for his follow-up?
Ummmm… I guess not.
- Or at least you shouldn’t be. It might be trying to achieve the feel of a screwball comedy, but it fell very short of the mark. I know Howard Hawks [...]
The Baxter

Not at all what you would expect form the people who brought you “Wet Hot American Summer” (which I did happen to enjoy as well).
I thought it was a cute, sweet funny movie. Kind of quirky in that fairy tale type of way. It creates its own world and inhabits it lovingly. It reminds you [...]

I was excited to see this movie but for the first few minutes I was afraid that the writer was substituting cute, precious language for being funny. Like, if you give a character quirky, kitchsy knick-knacks you don’t have to develop the character in any way; Their belongings ARE their character! Clever.
It mostly got over itself [...]

What a fun little movie.
I suspected going in that the scene in the clips with the rats and roaches cleaning the house would absolutely crack me up, and it really did.
This is a lite and fluffy movie, nothing complex or complicated, just a fun way to spend a few hours. Its nice to see that [...]

Maybe you have to love Micheal Cera. And I do love Micheal Cera. But I thought he was great. Just watching him alone would be worth my price of admission. The movie was stupid, or silly. Whatever. I do love the device of making a movie set within one 24 hour period (American Graffiti or [...]

Someone needs to take the Farrelly Bothers to task. One of you wrote a book called “Comedy Writer.” Well, you didn’t even have to waste your relentless genius on writing this work (Based on Neil Simon – who can genuinely be funny).
It seemed to rely on gross-out pandering tits and ass and base funny to stand [...]

Thought it was overrated. I like dumb. I don’t like mindless, unfunny..
(I did want to like it).
