ROMANTIC COMEDY
RYAN: This is a new rom com produced by and starring Chris Evans and it’s as though all of his family and friends are in it. It’s like he must have called in lots of favors because it’s not a big studio film and yet, there’s a huge cast, cameos, etc… CHUCK: There were times ..
COMEDY
RYAN: This movie has the second worst title of a film, ever. It’s just so long and awkward. I really disliked the first one. I give it a “Skip It” rating because I didn’t connect with it. I like this one better. As much as I wasn’t into the first one, there’s now familiarity with the characters and ..
COMEDY
RYAN: This is the new high school rom com starring Mae Whitman who you’ll remember from Perks of Being a Wallflower. This is her star turn and she handles it well. She’s cast as the DUFF which stands for Designated Ugly Fat Friend and horrid bullying ensues. CAROLINE: God I love these high school movies. ..
DRAMA
RYAN: I’m really perplexed by the movie poster for Laggies since it proclaims it a comedy; there were a couple funny moments but it’s barely a dramedy. It’s really mostly a drama. Keira Knightley stars as woman having an identify crisis at a time when all of her peers have life all figured out. I like that ..
ROMANTIC COMEDY
RYAN: I had heard about this film recently and was intrigued by the sound of it because it seemed like the plot details are heavily guarded. Like, after the set up, it’s as though you can’t really hear anything else about it so I had to check it out. Plus it’s filed under the rom ..
ROMANTIC COMEDY
RYAN: As a big Daniel Radcliffe fan, I’m glad he’s steadily working and I’m always looking forward to his next movie. This one is of the rom com variety and it’s very cute. He’s perfectly cast opposite Zoe Kazan who is so adorable, you just wanna carry her around with you. CAROLINE: (laughs) Ok. They ..
COMEDY
RYAN: It’s the latest annual offering from writer/director Woody Allen, who, LBH, let’s be honest, is just one of the most prolific and indelible forces in Hollywood. His resume is just insane, right? CAROLINE: Yeah he’s pretty much the bomb. Though his movies are always hit or miss, they’ve been largely brilliant over the last ..
COMEDY
RYAN: This is a new romantic dramedy starring Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton. It hasn’t been particularly buzz worthy although it is directed by Rob Reiner who has previously are classics like The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally… CAROLINE: Two of my favorite movies ever made. I wanted to see this one if only because of ..
COMEDY
RYAN: I’d like to welcome Stacey and Shelley to the site for this review; two of my oldest friends. We all grew up and went to school together and I think this is the first movie we’ve seen together in, like, 20 years. I think seeing the movie with you, however, was the highlight of ..
COMEDY
RYAN: This is the new comedy starring Melissa McCarthy, written by Melissa and her hubby Ben Falcone, who makes his directorial debut with this film. They already have another collaboration slated for 2016. I was super esssited to see them work together this way; what a perk of fame to do this, amassing the ensemble they ..
COMEDY
RYAN: If you’d asked me after seeing Think Like a Man if I wanted to see a sequel, I’d have told you no but the movie made bank so here we are – with the same cast and director, but minus a key element – Steve Harvey. The first film was roughly based on his dating advice ..
DRAMA
RYAN: I never read the book this movie is based on so I’m thrilled to welcome to the site, a new, young guest reviewer, Oliva, who at 14, has read The Fault in Our Stars, how many times? OLIVIA: If I finish it again today, it will be nine. RYAN: Wow. So you’ll bring a great perspective ..
