The Real Cancun (2003)
It's really not THAT bad...
So yeah, it's 9 years after it's release, And the Real Cancun has received so many awful reviews that I felt like I needed to write something in it's favor. I first saw it 8 years ago, and back then I was actually quite taken with the concept, the atmosphere and the depiction of people in Cancun during spring break. Whether it was real or not was not an issue for me, as it showed me a spring break, without the 'Girls Gone Wild' main theme of debauchery and depravity. Sure, those things exist in the movie, but to me it seems that even though the movie was sort of 'unscripted' and 'reality based', the editing was done wonderfully. As I mentioned in the beginning of my review - I first saw it 8 years ago. So now that I'm sadly much older, in age and state of mind as well, I re-watched the movie - as I'm about to go on vacation to Cancun. So yeah, the first charm of the movie did not hold as it did so many years ago when I gave it 8/10, but it still wasn't as bad IMHO as other reviews would depict it and I gave it 6/10. All in all - either you're waaaaayyy too old to watch it, or way too young - The MTV generation would actually enjoy this one.
The Pacifier (2005)
Awful, plain awful.
This one was a bad movie even by Disney standards. The acting was horrible, the script was laughable and the plot was worse. I realize this kind of movie is not intended for my age group (not unless accompanied by a youngster), but still - you have to maintain a certain level of professionalism when making a movie under a known company's logo no? Actually, here's the plot to the film - you'll see what I mean: The film tells the story of a navy seal commander who is assigned to guard duty over a family of 5 children, while their mother goes to Switzerland to recover a national security device developed by her husband in their house. (HA!) It's Kindergarten cop kinda ripoff, with a 'Sounds of Music' theme to it (5 kids, 1 adult - they all learn a valuable lesson...) I actually noticed Vin Diesel had a certain look on his face during some absurd scenes as if to say 'what the heck am I doing here?' (Especially during that stupid Panda dance...) Stay away. This is just not worth the money - Not just your money, but the money that was wasted producing this piece.
