Friends with Benefits (2011)
Predictable but fun & entertaining...
It was obvious from the trailer that this was going to be a fun movie to watch! JT has a lot of humour in his acting and Mila Kunis is good in any movie, I think...
Friend with Benefits is as predictable as any romantic-comedy though. They meet, they get on, they fall out, they declare their love for each other and live happily ever after. At least I knew what I was in for! I enjoyed watching how the fun on-screen relationship between JT and Mila progressed, from meeting in the airport to being 'FwB' and on from there. There were other amusing roles around them too, with Dylan's sister and her son. Also, Dylan's father who has Alzheimers likes to walk around with no pants on. Then there's Jamie's mother who is a bit wild and comes and goes throughout the movie.
My favourite part was probably when Dylan finally tells Jamie how he really feels in a very extravagant way. It was a bit cliché but makes you smile. And a good song choice too! Overall, I think it is worth a watch if you're in the mood for a funny, sexy comedic romance. And if you don't want to pay to watch then it's a must when it shows on TV! 7/10 for me - could've been better but for the predictable story.
30 Minutes or Less (2011)
Funny one liners. Good storyline.
On the cover of it, this isn't usually the sort of movie I would go out of my way to watch, but I thought I'd give it a go.
I liked Jesse Eisenberg in Adventureland a few years ago and The Social Network (although that wasn't so much a comedy), and I like his sarcastic sense of humour - so this made me see the movie.
The story is basically outlined in the plot and it summarises it completely - there isn't much more to it. A pizza delivery guy is kidnapped by 'criminals' and has a bomb strapped to him to make him rob a bank for the kidnappers.
I thought that Nick (Eisenberg) and Chet (Ansari) worked really well together. There were a lot of one-liners from them both at the beginning of the movie that had me laughing out loud in the cinema (which is the first time probably since The Hangover).
The movie did enough to keep me interested throughout and I've rated it 8/10 although it is probably more like 7.5/10! Funny one liners. Good storyline.
