This is the End Review

This is the End Review

RYAN: This is the new apocalyptic comedy co-directed by and starring Seth Rogen.  And it was primarily an excuse for him to get his friends together to hang out and have a good time on a film set for a few months. It’s absurd but a surprisingly original and fun movie.  CHUCK: Absolutely.  It felt ..

The Internship Review

RYAN: This is the new comedy starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson from director Shawn Levy who previously brought us Date Night, the Night at the Museum movies, The Pink Panther remake, among others.  CAROLINE: I liked Date Night.  How was this one?  RYAN: I liked it a lot.  It’s funny.  There was definitely laughter ..

The Hangover Part 3 Review

The Hangover Part 3 Review

RYAN:  I really don’t understand how this became a trilogy.  I’m not on board.  CAROLINE: Clearly it made bank. How was this one in comparison to the previous two? RYAN: Well the first one was something. We absolutely abhorred the second because it was the least original film in history and completely annoying.  It was ..

Family Weekend Review

Family Weekend Review

RYAN: I was so excited to see this movie because Kristin Chenoweth is one of my favorite stars.  Her talent is unparalleled but let me say upfront there’s no singing in this one.  She just works her glorious comedic chops.  CAROLINE: Oh that’s nice for you. Who else in in this?  RYAN: She plays Matthew ..

Admission Review

Admission Review

RYAN: Admission is the new film with Tina Fey and Paul Rudd which is arguably a drama; random, considering these comedy heavyweights.  That’s a little confusing with these stars.  KEVIN: I liked it a lot.  I thought it was a fantastic movie and they had amazing chemistry.  There was a nice balance of comedy with ..

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone Reivew

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone Reivew

RYAN: The Incredible Burt Wonderstone marks the return of Jim Carrey to the big screen but he’s just a supporting character here.  It’s really Steve Carell’s movie.  Sadly, for the beginning half of the film, Steve was almost approaching that Ben Stiller/Adam Sandler territory where he’s not fresh anymore but he redeemed himself. Regardless, it’s ..

Identity Thief Review

Identity Thief Review

RYAN:Identity Thief starring Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy is the new R-rated comedy but is actually a little bit crime drama with a subplot that I really detested.  ERIN: I actually thought there was going to be 70% comedy and 30% drama but it was flipped. RYAN: Oh I totally went in with expectations for ..

Warm Bodies Review

Warm Bodies Review

RYAN: This is the new zombie apocalypse rom com which is basically Twilight with zombies. KIM: It’s kind of a romantic dramedy, but it was comedic. RYAN: It’s a little cheesy and corny but not as bad as I anticipated.  It certainly has a lot of heart to it. KIM: I was surprised by this.  ..

A Haunted House Review

A Haunted House Review

RYAN: Seeing the movie A Haunted House made me very unhappy with the whole situation.  It’s with Marlon Wayans and spoofs the Paranormal Activity movies.  I hate those movies so it stands to reason I would loathe this film.  And I do.  And on top of all the reasons why I hate those movies, this ..

Parental Guidance Review

RYAN: Old school Hollywood is making a comeback with Billy Crystal and Bette Midler in Parental Guidance.  CAROLINE: Welcome back to the big screen, you two.  How was it?  RYAN: Nice.  It was good.  They’re great, you know? CAROLINE: I love Billy.  He’s the star of my favorite movie When Harry Met Sally.  RYAN: This ..

This Is 40 Review

RYAN: In honor of your 40th birthday this past Monday, Caroline, This is 40 is out in theaters.  How much did you identify with it?  CAROLINE: I actually asked myself that same question as I watched this movie, and found many of the scenarios quite relatable. However, I did not start procreating at 27 as ..

Australia Review

Australia Review

RYAN: One of my most anticipated movies of the year, “Australia,” which re-teams Nicole Kidman with director Baz Luhrmann, is quite a masterpiece. CAROLINE: I’m not sure that’s the word I would use. RYAN: Didn’t you think it was an epic, gorgeous, sweeping tale? CAROLINE: Sure, but masterpiece implies that it’s his best movie ever ..
