Gnomeo & Juliet (2011)
Stupid in a bad way
This movie was pure stupidity, the fact that I managed to watch the whole thing without turning it off is why I ended up not giving it a 1. I understand what they were trying to do, but they failed miserably. I know for these kinds of movies they need to put musical-like scenes, but the way they did it was just lazy and pointless. The jokes weren't funny, and basically this movie is really not even worth watching.
I gave this a 3, which is high in this case, purely because the quality of the CG, but as far as watch ability goes, this is at the bottom of the list. Don't bother seeing it if your anywhere past 12. I'm not a child, nor do I have kids, so how they will view this movie might be vastly different than how I view it.
A Good Old Fashioned Orgy (2011)
Stupid but funny
This movie is not for the serious minded, and as the title suggests, not something you would see with your grandmother. The premise is ridiculous, but its actually more original than one of those national lampoons movies. Its stupid funny, and some of the well placed jokes actually made me laugh out loud. I would say this is a movie to see if you its something you see on Netflix or HBO, although I don't think I would buy it, and renting would be only if there is nothing else to see. If you are into those Eurotrip kind of movies, this will be right up your ally, and actually seems to be made for an older crowd which is a nice change of pace.
Give the fact that it seemed to achieve exactly what it wanted and that it didn't have horrible or distracting acting, I would give this movie a solid 7. Its not the best movie I have ever seen, and I doubt I will recommend it, but I don't feel like it wasn't worth my time to watch and at several points it is actually very funny.
