Not another teen movie well worth watching

Advantages: laugh out loud funny
Disadvantages: humor can be a little coarse

Not another teen movie does a good job of spoofing many films such as breakfast club, bring it on and road trip, mean girls. the humour is that of American Pie, with an opening scene of the nerdy girl messing around with a vibrator. Everyone who she knows walks into the room to wish her happy birthday. She can't turn it off and everyones looking round for the buzzing sound, which is really funny especially as the family pet pulls the quilt away and ...
...her grandma looks at it. there are all of the typical sterotypes of American High school, the nerds, the jocks the cheerleaders, the brainy girl who looks ugly but is really nice looking. there are guest appearances by Mr T. and the tutor from breakfast club, and they recreate the scene quite well. the good looking footballer falls for the ugly but beautiful girl. A very clever film which is funny. ...

...The film is about Bridget Jones who is a hopeless romantic and an alchoholic,who ends up spending lonely nights year after year.She is hopelessly in love with her charming boss(Hugh Grant) who doesn't give her much thought.

Following a certain sequence of events,Bridget ends up with the divorced guy,but soon even that goes wrong.I won't divulge the details but it kind of gets predictable at the end.This is a kind of film where you actually need to see the film to understand the comedy in it;it is more situational and real than other commercial comedy ...

The next sstep

Advantages: Same great cast, memorable scenes, great film
Disadvantages: Concentrates on a few characters

...the long awaited sequel to American Pie and it took nearly 2 years to get it in the cinemas. Launched in 2001 this film was really hyped up and had a lot to live up to and it did not disappoint. Time has moved on and our four heroes, being Jim (played by Jason Biggs), Oz (played by Chris Klein), Kevin (played by Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Finch (played by Eddie Kay Thomas) have just completed their first year of college. The boys re-unite and decide ...
...part as he did in American Pie, but just like Oz he is not charismatic and, in my opinion, not that funny. I suppose this is the difficulty these actors have to face when there is such a star studded and talented cast. ****Finch**** Finch is finding it difficult to let go and has been saving himself for his true love. He has been practising the art of tantra and plans to use this very soon. Finch gets excited when he hears that there will be a ...

Evolution review

Advantages: Great cast of characters, lots of funny moments
Disadvantages: None

Evolution - a theory and now a film! It's directed by Ivan Reitman, who gave us the classic "Ghostbusters" and not so classic but still very good "Ghostbusters 2". Here, he helms another supernatural comedy, and even manages to bring aboard Dan Aykroyd in a small cameo role. When a meteorite falls to earth near the small town of Glen Canyon, two college professors, Dr. Ira Kane (David Duchovny) and Prof. Harry Phineas Block (Orlando Jones), are ...
...just that, they find organisms of an extraterrestrial origin. And not just that, they are evolving at a incredible rate, even while Ira is watching. Soon the military show up and completely seal off the meteor. Completely ostracized from their discovery, they keep doing research, and are surprised when the original discoverer of the meteor, Wayne (Seann William Scott), brings in what looks like a monster. Soon them and Allison (Julianne Moore), ...

Legally Blond

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

Legally Blond is a great and girly film starring Reese Witherspoon about a dumb blond Beverly Hills type girl who is obessed with pink and loves her doggy (a real steriotype rich blond) who gets dumped by her snobby boyfriend who is headed for law school, so she decides to follow and enroll and prove to him that she isnt just some dumb blond like he makes out. In this film you see Elle go from being a typical student serority girl and then making ...
...This is a really funny film that has lots of famous actors in it including Reese Witherspoon, Matthew Davis, Luke Wilson and Selma Blair. I thought that this was a great girly comedy for a night in and a film that proves that blonds are no dumber than the rest of us. Its defiantly worth a watch, especially one for the girls.
