The Love Guru (2008)
An honest review from a big Mike Myers fan.
OK, so this movie may not be quite as deep (plot wise) as the Austin Powers movies, or quite as original as the Wayne's World movies, but it was definitely very entertaining.
I Would suggest before you go see this movie that you ask yourself, do you like Mike Myers sense of humor. This movie is basically a bunch of little jokes he always wanted to do in his other huge movies but never got the opportunity. If you like extremely corny, "bu-dun-chshhh" jokes then this is the movie for you. Go see it if you just want to sit back and have a laugh. Don't expect this movie to go down in history as one of Mike Myers best.
As for the other big names in this movie...
Jessica Alba - still can't act Justin Timberline - keep singing - never act again.
I did like the cross-mix of other very hilarious comedians who make cameos in this movie. Obviously I will not give out any names.
What it all comes down to is if you like Mike Myers, you like corny joke after corny joke, and you want it all in under 1hr and a half, then go see this movie! If you don't like Mike Myers - then stay home!
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)
Will Ferrel is Back in style!
This movie was alright. I liked it, it was one of those you either liked it or you didn't movies. It was a little predictable, basically you could figure out the whole movie in the first 5 mins. Still the movie was full of laughs especially at the dinner table. You'll see. It's worth seeing before it comes out on DVD. Also this movie concentrates on Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrel) a lot more than nascar so don't worry, it is not a movie all about nascar. You'll like it even if you don't like nascar. I would say that you need to be a fan of Will Ferrel's humor before you consider seeing this. If you haven't like WIll Ferrel movies in the past you probably shouldn't see this. However it is not as strong of humor as Anchorman was. Overall good film, not a great one, not a bad one, worth watching! -Justin
The Pink Panther (2006)
The Pink Panther
I give this movie a ten because I was not comparing it to the original. This movie I have to say was very funny, much funnier than I expected. Steve Martin surprisingly wasn't as annoying as I thought he might be. The mystery was fairly easy to figure out about half way through the movie. I however did not like how they ended the movie, but other than that it was a great movie. Society has defiantly moved towards sexuality, as seen with pretty much every scene with beyonce. Also another surprise was that she was somewhat good in the movie. She wasn't the best, but she was pretty good. The rest of the cast was pretty good, however I think Michael Caine could of been a better choice for the inspectors (Steve Martin) baby sitter / assistant. In summery the pink panther was very funny, the slap stick humor wasn't stupid like "Date Movie." If you're a pink panther fan or new to the series, it is not a waste of money to go see this movie. However for a bit of perspective you may want to go out and rent the originals before you see this rendition.
Date Movie (2006)
Awful, I expected more!
I went to this movie expecting a great spoof type movie, such as the scary movie series. Which by the way is a great series, however I haven't seen the first one. Anyways within the first ten minutes I felt like getting up and leaving. I don't blame the actors, they just get told what to do, but I blame the writers. Apparently this movie was written by two of the six writers of scary movie. I highly doubt that as this movie was nothing like scary movie. The two writers that wrote this were probably the ones who had their ideas rejected because they're just not funny. The only part I remotely like is when the man made the description of killing his wife. You'll know what I mean if you see it. The opening was OK. But the whole thing SUCKED! My suggestion is don't see this movie in the theaters, but wait until the DVD, but don't hesitate to download it if you don't feel like spending the ten dollars to rent it. NEVER BUY IT though!
Wee Sing in the Marvelous Musical Mansion (1992)
Great kids movie
I enjoyed this movie as a kid. Lots of that music thats annoying but you just have to listen to it. If you have kids around the age of 5 or so consider this as a rental, otherwise your kids will play it over and over and over and over..... However there is very good music, and there is a mystery or a "riddel" that must be solved. It's good for the kids. You should maybe get a few of your kids friends to watch it with him. If I was a little kid I'd give the movie a 10 but since I'm much older now I give it an 8 as a kids movie, a 1 as a adult movie. Don't rent this movie thinking it will be a good musical. There is a wide base of characters however the kids are a little corny. When I think back I seem to remember a big table of food in the movie that was so interesting, probably because they sung a song about it.
