It definitely would have been better sans virtue signaling. We get it. It was a different time and place. Had people know it was offensive, they wouldn't have done or said the things they did. This movie relied on that way too many times. They could have used it to make a joke and instead came off preachy.

Having said that, the acting was decent and it had enough funny lines. I loved all the Easter eggs. It made for some funny and clever moments. I could have used more Randal Park though. His character was great and had a lot of potential. Julie Bowen could have also used more screen time. I enjoyed it overall and may watch it again.

I wanted to see this movie since the set pictures got leaked. Once they released the trailer and the clips, it was one of the most anticipated movies of the year for me.

It started off great. It was hilarious. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were amazing. Then the actual comedy stopped. Jokes fell flat. The "Barbie world" they set up then just ignored the toy universe they spent 20 minutes setting up to put forth terrible gags and a preachy message that made no sense. For instance, Barbie could only bend certain ways in the beginning, then she can bend her body like a normal human, then she can't again for one joke, then she can again. It was awful.

Normally, Will Ferrell is at least a little bit humorous. Even he was dry. The best part was a fake commercial halfway through it. I've wanted to get up and walk out so bad. I felt like it was also geared towards everyone in the beginning, and then adults in the last 75 minutes. It became too dramatic and preachy.

The Lego movie managed to be geared toward the family and still gave a good message in the last few minutes. That should have been the route this took.

I don't normally leave reviews, but the CGI was comically bad. Maybe it was the IMAX screen but it makes Superman's upper lip like artwork. Between the baby scene, the surprising cameos and two Barry's (when not in bright light), the CGI was plain awful. The 'member berries are what made this movie. Had it not been the nostalgic cameos, this movie would have sucked.

Having said that, Michael Keaton and Supergirl stole the show (in my opinion). I would watch any DC movie if it had them in. I really hope these comic book movies can figure out the cgi issue. It's been abysmal as of late. If you can get past Ezra Miller being annoying and the terrible effects, it's not bad.

When I first saw the preview for Van Wilder, I was a little hesitant. I mean they've made a ton of National Lampoon's movies and the only ones that were good featured Chevy Chase. But since I got into the movie for free, I thought I'd see it anyways. It turned out to be one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. I know Tara Reid can't act, but Ryan Reynolds did an amazing job of bringing this character to life. It's definitely going to be on my To Buy List. Go spend the few $ to see it. You'll love it. Write that down.

After I got done watching Almost Heroes I immediately rewound the tape saw it again. It is one of the funniest movies ever created. If Chris Farley isn't a good enough reason to watch it, Matthew Perry should be. Both men do an incredible job acting dumb and yet civalized. If you ever get in a bad mood, I guarantee this will cheer you up as you roll on the floor with laughter.

This is about a younger brother who tries to help his older brother become governor of Washington. This movie is packed with so many one liners you'll want to watch every single one of Chris Farley's movies. Chris is the king of comedy and he proves it here in this outrageous comedy.
