Reviews
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Pepsiloverok1234 I watch this film 5 times everyday, Even in the shower! I just love how lovable and silly the main characters are. My personal favourite is Marcus, I have honestly never related to a character so much in my life. This movie tackles the issues of family, love, friendship and humour and does a perfect job of just wrapping it all together into one magical gift from god. Although the little graphic violence that is shown scares me a little bit I just close my eyes and go to my happy place (which is the location where this was filmed) I would choose to see this over Forrest Gump any day.
maxlautner i thought the fart and poop jokes were simply exquisite and very well executed. i was a bit forlorn that there was an absence of the well known "burpsnart" in this particular film, however of course that happens in the sequel and we all know movies can't time travel (like in click)! ha ha! my favorite scene was when they were all giggling and in high hopes at the coach's funeral - it reminded me of my good old days as a juvenile delinquent on parole! to conclude, i think this film is simply a masterpiece and is definitely something to write home about.
Python Hyena Grown Ups (2010): Dir: Dennis Dugan / Cast: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider: Boring comedy that remembers those carefree childhood innocent days where technology was not an interruption. Five friends get together after their childhood basketball coach passes away and they decide to go to a lake house for family time. Directed by Dennis Dugan whose better comedy credits include You Don't Mess With the Zohan and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Rob Schneider go through the usual family harassment while trying to relax. Sandler presents his usual persona and leads a competition against a standard group of rivals. Rock is extremely underused as a stay at home father. Kevin James is basically the brunt of fat jokes whose opening swimming pool scene is one of the few really funny moments. Spade plays a drunken pervert who often turns up in the midst of trouble. Only the fifth billed Schneider has an interesting role with his romantic life with older women and has hot daughters whom his friends stand around and gaze at like hyenas watching a gazelle before brunch. The film is well made and plays as a buddy flick that male viewers may possibly relate too, but unfortunately the payoff is hardly funny or rewarding. There are too many characters and less time to really develop the main characters for whom the stars portray. It does contain a theme regarding technology and taking the simple things for granted. It remembers the old days when films were better. Score: 4 ½ / 10
