Commandments (1997)
Don't waist your time.
One guy gets all the bad luck. He once was a happily married doctor, now everything's gone. After his wife died, he lost his job, his house got ruined,... He wants revenge: he's going to break the ten Commandments. His sister-in-law takes care of him, but she's having problems of her own: her husband's cheating on her. At the end, they find a happiness together.
When I watched the beginning of the movie, it seemed quite realistic. Breaking the ten commandments, they really found a nice way to make it sound believable. That's why I don't understand the end of the movie: after the unlucky guy jumped into the ocean, some people at the beach find him alive and well in the stomach of a whale???
The Opposite Sex and How to Live with Them (1992)
No Monica, no Friends, no comedy
Two very different people fall in love, they decide to move in together, a lot of things go wrong, happy ending: they get married. Does it really take more than an hour to tell this story? The meaningless plot reminds me of those great 80s movies. The only difference: the movie doesn't contain any of those funny 80s scenes, it doesn't even makes you laugh at all. I like happy-ending movies, but this is just another happy ending story. Nothing more to say.
Weekend at Bernie's (1989)
THE BEACH, PARTY EVERY NIGHT; THE ONLY THING THAT GOES WRONG: ONE GUYS IS DEATH, THE TWO OTHER GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MURDERED.
On the sitcom FRIENDS, Jennifer Aniston (Rachel) was embarassed to admit that "Weekends at Bernie's" was her favorite movie. Well, I think a lot of people are, the jokes are dumb but yet very funny and so is the plot.
Okay, the beginning of the movie was boring (and I do mean *BORING*), but the second half was *one big laugh*; Bernie on the boat, the burglers, death Bernie in the bedroom with one of his girlfriends,... It's typical 80s comedy with typical 80s jokes. The movie reminds me to other 80s movies such as the hit movies "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "Micki and Maude".
Micki + Maude (1984)
ENTERTAINING COMEDY
Dudley Moore plays a TV-reporter who's married and wants to have kids. Unfortunately, his wife (Ann Reinking) is very career-focused and doesn't want to start a family yet. Moore falls in love with a girl he interviewed (Amy Irving). They meet a few times, not so much later she's pregnant. Moore says he wants her to become his wife. The day he decides to ask his wife for a divorce, she tells him she's expecting a baby. Moore doesn't know what to do, he loves both Reinking and Irving and they are both expecting his baby. He can't cancel his wedding with Irving so he ends up being married to both.
Everyone who loves the romantic-comedies of the eighties will agree: Although some moments are a little boring, "Micki and Maude" is a fun and entertaining movie with great performances of the leading actors (and a well-earned Golden Globe for Dudley Moore). The end is a bit lame, but the hospital scene makes up for that.
