The House Bunny (2008)

Cast: Anna Faris, Colin Hanks, Emma Stone

Director: Fred Wolf

Genre: comedy

I went with my mother and my nine-year-old niece to see "The House
Bunny" in the early morning in a relatively empty theater where there
were only women. Of course it won't be the most memorable movie I've
seen, but for late August, it's not all that b…

50 First Dates (2004)

Cast: Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Rob Schneider

Director: Peter Segal

Genre: comedy, romance

50 First Dates is a very funny movie and for Sandler its one of his
best. Adam Sandler plays Henry Roth, a womanizing marine biologist
afraid to commit, who falls for the woman of his dreams, played by Drew
Barrymore. Unfortunately, she has a brain disorder that makes her
forget everything that happened the day before whenever she falls
asleep, so every day, he needs to win her over and make her fall in
love with him anew. The plot is nothing new as this movie is a cross
between Memento and Groundhog Day both very good movies. What makes
this movie work is the chemistry between Drew Barrymore and Adam
Sandler since they work so great together and make the film fun and
also this film is better then Sandler’s last effort Anger Management.
Sandler is great in this film and he is one of the funniest comedians
around today. Drew Barrymore is very good in her role as Lucy and she
makes up for the horrible Duplex. The supporting cast is also very good
with the best being Sean Austin. Rob Schneider has a small role in this
film but he still manages to draw some laughs. The last main part of
the cast is Dan Aykroyd and his role isn’t very memorable. This movie
has good intentions and some sad moments like when Lucy finds out she
can never have her memory restored or when she sees pictures of herself
from the accident. However, there’s also some gross humor so I think
this movie can appeal to everyone under the age of 21. Rating 8/10 one
of the funniest movies of the year and a must see if you want a good
come…

You Don’t Mess with the Zohan (2008)

Cast: Adam Sandler, John Turturro, Emmanuelle Chriqui

Director: Dennis Dugan

Genre: drama, comedy, action

I always have hated Adam Sandler movies although I found this one and
Deuce Bigalow rather amusing at times. Part of the problem in "getting"
the humor is that movies like "Zohan" and Deuce Bigalow in Amsterdam
requires you to have a better than average understanding of the culture
it is mocking. If you've ever spent any significant time in Amsterdam
you'd find the Deuce flick much funnier as the silly satire it is. Same
goes for Zohan – it's 10 times funnier if you've been to Israel at
least once and even funnier if you understand Hebrew. You must live in
New York and have lived through the 80s to really get all the jokes.
This is a total "turn off your brain" movie and has a lot of physical
comedy, including some "political thoughts" that, in the end, we're all
just people. For those who weren't happy with the obvious, predictable
ending, the movie wasn't meant to ruffle feathers. Oddly enough, even
my friend who hasn't had any background for this movie thought it was a
simple, funny movie. Your call but keep an open mind and don't listen
to all the critics here. The fact that the Hulk could be an 8.0 says
all you need to know about the ridiculous critics here. Go and enj…
