[Reviews] Summer Movies [Pt. 1]

3rd Oct, 2008 | 11 Comments | Posted in Movies, Reviews

Back when I was in the States I went to a couple of movies, and downloaded a couple when I was bored or when I didn’t want to speak to anyone of my sisters.  They got annoying after a while and I just don’t know how to hang out with them anymore without getting annoyed.  But Oh well, I’ve been meaning to write a review post but haven’t gotten to it because I was uninspired so here goes in no particular order whatsoever.

1. Baby Mama – A comedy brought to us by two of our favorite Saturday Night Live Stars, Tina Feye and Amy Poehler along with many other SNL stars dropping in.  It’s a comedy about how Kate Holbrook (Feye) has put her business career in front of everything else and now she decides on wanting to have a kid but discovers that she can’t so she has to find a surrogate to carry her baby.  This is where Angie (Poehler) comes in and where the fun starts.

I enjoyed watching this movie because it had some classic Feye & Poehler moments.  It was literally fun to watch late at night before going to bed.  Rate: ****

2. Made of Honor - A classic Romantic Comedy where a guy falls in love with his female best friend.  Tom (Patrick Dempsey) has commitment issues and is a playboy one who moves from girl to girl.  But only one girl is stable in his life, his best friend, Claire (Michelle Monahagen).  The one girl he goes to when he needs sage advice, the one to hang out with and such.  All the others are just objects to pass time with.  But when he finally admits that he’s in love with her and wants to move to the next step she shocks him by telling him she’s getting married to a Scottish Rich Man and she wants him to be her Made of Honor.  The fun then begins of how boy tries to win back girl.

It was an adorable comedy, you couldn’t help but fall in love with Dempsey and want to find a guy like him.  I know I sure did.  I really loved watching this movie. Rate: ****

3. You Don’t Mess With The Zohan – A classic Adam Sandler comedy movie.  Literally making fun of a bunch of different nationalities – mainly Israeli’s and Palestinians.  Establishing a love relationship between The Zohan (Israeli Commando) who fakes his own death to pursue his all time dream in becoming a hair dresser and a Palestinian woman Dalia (Emmanuelle Chriqui) the sister of his arch nemesis.  The fun ensues when he poses as Scrappy Coco a hairdresser.

I got a lot of laughs on this one but some were at the physical comedy between Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider.  It is a comedy meant to make you laugh regardless of whose side you’re on.  Rate: ***

4. Pineapple Express – The perfect stoner comedy movie.  This is my movie.  This is literally a dude filled comedy with no room for any romance.  Starring Seth Rogen as a Process server named Dale Denton who loves getting stoned more than he loves to deliver the subpoenas, and his relationship with Saul Silver (James Franco) his weed dealer.  The action all goes down when Dale witnesses a murder in which Saul’s main dude who sells him the rare Pineapple Express commits and how they both are on the run because not many have that weed and it would be so easy to spot them.

This movie literally had me almost peeing my pants with its humor.  It is a classic.  I fell in love, I am Saul Silver and my sisters will agree even more by how alike I am to him.  There were some violent parts where I had to turn my head away but in the end the brothership of the movie let me stick it through.  It’s sad that this movie won’t make it to Kuwait.  Sad indeed.  Rate: *****

There are more out there and I think I should space it out on two posts.

    Excellent, excellent job Jacqui. Even though our reviews might have a different direction (I mean I would never give Made of Honor 4 stars), still I love the way you handle it and I’m a huge fan because it’s really personal. I always forward your reviews to my cousin because you guys have a similar taste and evaluations of movies, and they always tease me that I should make my reviews more mainstream and less “pretentious” LOL :D
