Movie Review: That's My Boy


I just want to punch Adam Sandler in the face.

Rating: R
Time: 116 min

Three words to express this movie, stupid, funny, stupid.
This movie is about a kid who has a inappropriate relationship with his teacher that results in a pregnancy.
That plot, that whole blurb is stupid and gross and just pushes away audiences.
But before I get into the bad things, I need to get into the good or okay things.
Pretty much the best thing about this movie is Vanilla Ice.
He's funny and just a character that you love in a movie like this.
But you can't really give him any credit because he's acting himself.
He makes the whole movie.
Another thing that was good in the movie was the soundtrack.
It was right for the moment and usually wasn't a bad song.
And now the bad stuff.
Adam Sandlers voice in this movie was so annoying and so ear shattering that you just wanted to punch him in the face.
He keeps on talking and talking and he will never shut up!
Another thing that was bad in this movie is that everyone was loose.
Everyone besides the bar tender in the strip club.
But that doesn't because she only has three lines in the whole movie.
This movie was really predictable also, you could imagine what was going to happen next and it did!
I like Adam Sandler movies like "Happy Gilmore" and "Big Daddy" but this movie disappointed me.
Well I can't really say that because I kind of expected what was going to happen.
I would recommend this movie to 10 year olds.
Everyone else would hate it.

Score=5.5

I'm going to Spain for the summer and there will be no internet in my apartment.
I'll to keep on adding movie reviews whenever I can though.
But until then, have a great summer!
See you in August/September!

Movie Review: Brave


The first Pixar movie with a heroin. Lets get to it!

Rating: PG
Time: 100 min

If you have read any other movie review about this movie I'll bet that 85% of them said that the first half of the movie is better then the second half.
And it is the truth.
Anyways the characters in this movie were so spectacular and funny and unique.
Lets start with the dad, he's funny and kind of a wreck.
Which is a great pair with the mom who is strict and clean.
I also like the three boys, I think I've seen their character before but their character of the trouble makers who always get away with everything!
And I think that the main character (the girl) is a perfect type for that kind of family.
I thought that the movie was exciting and usally kept you locked in.
Which is good because the movie is really predictable.
There was some magic in this movie which had an important role but I didn't think they used it much.
Now what didn't work for me.
This movie went up and down from serious to plain pixar cute.
That eventually gets really annoying and makes you get bored.
And I also didn't like that this movie was totally obsessed with bears.
The bad guy is a bear and the witch is like the master of bear spells and BEAR!
If you don't like bears don't see this movie.
I thought the witch was kind of useless and kind just put there to make it look more interesting.
And there are some little magic things in this movie called wisps that are supposed to lead you the way, but whenever they lead the girl somewhere (which was like 3 times) It was something bad and it included bears.
And also in this movie there's a spell and you only have 2 days to make it go away, and all they're doing is wasting their time by catching and eating fish.
Now I know the mom and the girl want some bonding time but would you rather get a day of bonding time or the rest of your life?
Easy question.
Anyways I would recommend this movie to anybody who likes pixar or bears.

Score=7.0

The next movie is made to be stupid.

Movie Review: Moonrise Kingdom



A romantic drama about 2 kids, for me that's a first.

Rating: PG-13
Time: 94 min

I really don't know what to say about this movie other then it's brilliant.
The colors in this movie are beautiful and great.
And the plot in all is just so brilliant and amazing.
The actors are amazing and everyone fits their part very well.
There are some characters in this movie that just make the movie.
Like all the camp kids, they make the whole movie interesting and funny!
Yeah that's another thing, I know that this movie's trying to be a romantic drama but there were some cute little jokes in their that I chuckled about.
The soundtrack for this movie was great, I liked all the music and I thought it was good.
Someone that really made the movie good for me was the character Cousin Ben played by Jason Schwartzman, I thought his character was funny unique and kind of made the movie for me.
I liked the girl in the movie because I liked her uniqueness.
I liked how she was the more damaged person.
I also liked how she is so dangerous and she's not afraid of it.
Now lets see what didn't work for me.
In the beginning of the movie the girl is waiting for someone.
Then the next scene with her is that she's in the meadow with the boy.
It just goes right into that and I thought it was a little to fast.
They eventually have a flashback that says one year before but the scene is shortand so it doesn't seem that intimate with the viewer.
I also wasn't that into the movie in the first half when they run away, I thought the second half was better more energetic and entertaining.
I didn't like the kids when they ran away together because there's a part where he laughs at her and she gets really mad, but then 20 seconds later she forgives him.
I thought their relationship had some ups and downs.
But this is the most entertaining non-stupid romance movie I have ever seen.
(But then again I don't see many romances.)
i would recommend this movie to anyone who knows a good time.

Score:8.5

Next movie is the first pixar movie with a heroin!

Movie Review: Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted


Afro circus, polkadot, polkadot, polkadot AFRO!!

Rating: PG
Time: 93 min

What's wrong with Madagascar 1 and 2 is that they're both terrible!
But this post isn't about those ones, it's about this one.
In the beginning of this movie they're still and Africa, and as you can guess they escape and go to europe.
Anyways the beginning of this movie until they get to the circus stinks.
It's boring, dull and long.
But when they get to the circus it starts to get really interesting and funny.
The circus has a chance of getting to America but only if a manager likes their performance.
Unfortunately they suck.
They used to be good but then the heart of the circus lost his pride ( the tiger)
So if the tiger is the heart of the circus then you can guess that he's the heart of the movie.
Another thing that's the heart of the movie is Sacha Baron Cohen's relationship with the bear.
It's funny, cute and brilliant.
And also the performances they made were really cool and the lights were great and the colors were great.
Now what I didn't like...
I didn't like the women cop, I thought she was harsh annoying and just so plain indestructible.
I also didn't like the penguins, in the other movies they're smart and fun to watch.
In this movie they weren't, I felt a little disappointed.
I also didn't like how they were rich and just used it all and in the end realized that they could've just bought a plane.
I also don't like the ending but if I told you why then I would spoil it for you.
And I don't like how the 4 change the circus when they're just zoo animals.
It's kind of stupid.

Score=7.5

The next movie is a romantic drama.

Movie Review: Rock Of Ages


I LOVE ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!

Rating: PG-13
Time: 123 min

This movie was based on a play that was on Broadway that I din't see, but that's another story.
What I liked about this movie is that there's rock & roll and when there's rock & roll there's AWESOME!!!!
The music was good and classic and I also liked the cast with Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Paul Giamatti and Russell Brand.
But the people who really made the movie for me were Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand.
Other then that let me say the things that were bad.
There are some things that are so stupid that just don't deserve to be there.
There's actually one person who follows that exactly, the reporter.
She ruined the movie for me completely.
I also thought the character Stacee Jaxx was terrible.
He was just so scrambled and stupid and terrible.
I also thought that the music they played wasn't really that much of rock.
Just because it says rock in it doesn't mean it actually is!
I thought the main characters the boy and the girl were so annoying and unappealing.
The movie felt long boring and just stupid.
You knew what was going to happen the minute before it happened.
And the only person who seems like they were giving it all was Mary J. Blige.
And it's kind of disappointing when you see a rock and roll movie by the same guy who made Hairspray.
YEESH!
Anyways I would recommend this movie to anyone who doesn't know a good time.

Score=4.5

Anyways the next movie is the third of an animation series.

Movie Review: Snow White And The Huntsman


We had the baby version now lets have the dark version!

Rating: PG-13
Time: 127 min

The fact that two versions of the same movie come out in the same 6 months is so dumb!
Mirror Mirror was terrible, cheesy and boring so lets this one!
This movie was dark, it did not make you feel good and that's what was smart and well done about it.
The bad guy is an actual bad guy, she has no mercy and she actually has a point of being the bad guy.
She's not friends with Snow White, she locks her in a prison cell and in front of her kills the king (her dad.)
And I hate Kristen Stewart, I think she plays the same roll in every movie, dull and sad.
But in this movie it works because how would you feel if you saw your dad being murdered and you were locked up in a stinky gray room for your whole life.
That's another thing I liked, I think all the actors fit their part very well.
I liked Chris Hemsworth, I thought he fit the part very well.
Now what I didn't like, I didn't like the plot, I thought it was confusing and not very well thought out.
The movie felt like it didn't give any time to think it just blasted you with a whole bunch of stuff all at once.
There is too much action!
There's this one scene in the movie where they're in a valley of peace and faries, they see this majestic unicorn and then it gets an arrow straight through the head!
I also didn't connect with the dwarves, they didn't really do anything in the movie and some of them were normal sized people.
I also thought that there were some things in there that are unexpected but dumb!
Like when she escapes from the tower there just happens to be a horse there waiting for her.
Anyways I would recommend this movie to anyone has nothing to do on the weekend.

Score=5.5

Next movie is from the guy who brought you Bedtime Stories. (Adam Sandler edition!)

Movie Review: Men In Black 3


BACK IN TIME!

Rating: PG-13
Time:106 min

Now personally I hate the men in black series.
I haven't seen the second but people tell me it's worst then the first and to me the first STUNK!
Anyways in this one Tommy Lee Jones looks like poo.
I heard he got surgery or something, anyways it looks terrible.
But I thought the match Josh Brolin and Will Smith had was good unique and at some points maybe even funny.
Which brings me to my next point!
The humor in this movie wasn't much, and when there was humor it wasn't that funny.
The bad guy I thought was kind of all over the place and that they didn't really plan him that well.
I thought the plot and the clues were everywhere and that they were just so messy.
Now there's this one guy in the movie who tells the future played by Michael Stuhlbarg and to me that guy made the whole movie to me.
I loved his character and I thought that him being so positive on the outside but having sadness sorrow and a mystery on the inside was just great.
I would recommend this movie to any fans of past MIB's.

Score=6.5

Next movie is with Nick Frost as a very small guy.

Movie Review: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel


This movie I wasn’t planning to see but when my mom wanted to see a movie and it was the only movie in the theater that I haven’t seen. So we went.

Rating: PG-13
Time: 124 min

I was surprised by this movie, the trailer looked bad and unappealing to children, but when I came out of that theater then I was surprised how much I liked it!
This movie was actually really intense, and the jokes that they had were actually really funny.
Why I liked this movie is because it’s not a loud Hollywood movie.
It’s quiet movie and you actually enjoy looking at it. (I know it sounds weird.)
The colors are really pretty and they keep you locked in.
The story can be a little hard to keep up with but finally you understand things.
And the saying that the hotel manager says all the time is such a good quote and I love it!
“Everything will be alright in the end. And if it is not alright then it is not the end.”
Man I love that quote!
Calm adults who don’t like screaming and explosions will love this movie.
Even though I didn’t get bored most other kids probably will.

Score=8.5

The next movie is the third of a classic comic.

Movie Review: The Dictator


This movie is like SNL's brother. It's funny...

Rating: R
Time: 83 min

Sacha Baron Cohen has made some movies before but they’re in the style of a documentary so when this came out as a normal movie then people wanted to see what would happen.
I didn’t see Borat or Bruno but I’ve heard that this movie was the worst one out of the three.
I can’t agree with that because I don’t know that.
Anyways this movie is about this terrible dictator that goes to America. He has to sign a paper to make his country a free country when things go wrong and people want to kill him.
Anyways in this movie there are jokes around every corner, you expect that you’re going to hear a joke and you do.
It’s a movie where things are really expected.
Sacha Baron Cohen, I would have to say, was the one who was the only one who was really trying.
Everyone else I expected more from, his accent is a little hard to understand so if you have good ears you’ll understand.
This movie is offensive to everyone, so there are jokes where you’ll be “Ha! That’s really funny!” and times where you go “That’s not funny! That’s offensive!” it’s just how his movies go.
I wouldn’t recommend this movie to everyone, there are some pretty inappropriate parts where kids and maybe even adults will feel a little or a lot disturbed.
I recommend this movie to people who don’t care if they’re offended and teens to older.
You won’t get bored at all!

Score=5.5

Next movie is an drama about retiring.
