Dick Harper suddenly finds himself unemployed after being fairly high up in the pecking order in a big company. He has to find a way to survive and maintain his life style. So, in cahoots with his wife, Jane, he plots his revenge on the CEO who was responsible for the circumstances that led to his job loss. They start on a comical, somewhat slapstick campaign to follow in the footsteps of a comedy Bonnie and Clyde and go on the rampage. First its ...
...graduate to richer pickings. This is a very poor remake of the 1977 version of this film which starred George Segal and Jane Fonda. This doesn't work as black comedy as it is meant to be and it isn't clever enough to be a farce. It ends up as a badly tacked together collection of slapstick comedy woven around Jim Carrey and his amazing ability to pull ridiculous faces. There is a quite bizaare fascination with grass and lawns in this film. The 'joke' ... Read review

Advantages: Not dire, but not that great either
Disadvantages: Poor chemistry between the cast, plot strays too much

...I initially had thought! Rumour Has It has what could be an incredibly interesting plot line which could have gone any numbers of ways. Aniston plays Sarah Huttinger, a woman who finds out that her family may well be the basis for the infamous book and movie of The Graduate. While she is home in Pasedena for her sister Annie's wedding (Mena Suvari), she and fiance Jeff (Mark Ruffalo) attempt to find out what happened with Sarah's mother before she ...
...The Graduate is based upon the Huttinger family! I thought, as I mentioned, that this would be an interesting plot, and that they would be able to weave a great and intersting story from it. However, this was not the case. It took about half an hour for the movie to actually bring about this plot line to the forefront of the whole thing, and then to be honest, I felt it dropped it far too quickly and moved off on another tangent. It was almost like ... Read review

Advantages: Hugh Grant is nice to look at
Disadvantages: Everything else

American Dreamz is the sort of movie that could potentially be very funny. Note that word potentially. Directed by Paul Weitz who also directed About a Boy and American Pie, this movie is set around a popular American reality TV show. I saw the trailers for this and thought it looked good, but I never seem to get round to seeing things at the cinema and ended up getting this on DVD instead. ~The Plot~ The story revolves around the biggest TV show ...
...is overheard singing by the American Dreamz crew. The President of the United States (Dennis Quaid) is due to be a judge on the final night of the show, and Omer's leaders have sinister plans for him. What will happen to the president? And who will win American Dreamz? ~What I thought~ Well, like many films, disappointingly, the trailer shows all the best bits and the rest of the film is rubbish! The plot, as I'm sure you can tell from above, is ... Read review

Advantages: Hillarious, greatly written
Disadvantages: None

...month ago, having never watched Gavin and Stacey before, but I decided to give it a go! Oh my gosh I am so glad I bought it! I ended up and sitting and watching the whole series in one evening, I just couldn't turn it off! It is so so so funny, and the fits of giggles Ruth Jones' character has has me in in unreal, she is so funny! The story line is so romantic as well, in a comedic kind of way. I only wish I had watched Gavin and Stacey whilst it ... Read review
