A great comedian but not the best show

Advantages: Great comedian at the top of his game, lots of laughs, perfect delivery of jokes
Disadvantages: A lot of material you have heard before, foul mouthed throughout

Frankie Boyle is a comedian who I have grown to like more and more through his appearances on Mock the Week and so I decided that getting a chance to see him having a full show of his own would be brilliant and so I got hold of this dvd and sat ready for the laughs. So is this the best ever comedy experience from a comedian at the top of his game? Well you will laugh at the jokes and yes Frankie delivers his usual top quality gags with the perfect ...
...how methodical the show and Frankie himself is with him obviously having worked hard to get his show to a perfect delivery standard and just doing it over and over. The jokes are delivered in the same way with the same expression, the same timing and this leads to a slight feeling of disappointment. I don't want to put off those fans of great comedy as Frankie is truly a great but prepare yourself for foul mouthed and abusive comedy from the potential ...

Review of Frankie Boyle - Live (DVD)

Oh, would you like to pick out the outfit that you break up with

Advantages: Hilarious, Rudd, HIll, the script
Disadvantages: Didn't really want to see Segel full frontal......

...sort of film I would recommend watching if you like silly comedy that doesn't go too far like others have commented films such as Pineapple Express, Knocked Up, etc have done. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is very funny, and will keep you watching. I recommend giving it a go, it's hilarious. ...

Review of 27 Dresses (DVD)

"What happens in Vegas you pay for when you get home"

Advantages: A fun easy watch
Disadvantages: Predeictable and cheesy

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS A FILM ONLY REVIEW I know that they are very predictable. But I do love a good romantic comedy. As I generally enjoy films Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz so I was quite enthusiastic about watching ‘What Happens in Vegas’. Wall Street workaholic Joy McNally (played by Cameron Diaz) was a successful woman who loved to plan, she planned everything, she planned what she was going to plan. One of the things that ...
...long time boyfriend Mason (played by Jason Sudeikis). I guess she was sorry that she did, because at this party -in front of all of their friends – he finished their relationship. Elsewhere, Jack Fuller (played by Ashton Kutcher) , whose refusal to finish anything has just got him sacked from his father's company, by his father himself. Joy and Jack each get a talking to from their friends Hater, (Rob Corddry) and Tipper (Lake Bell). This talk ...

Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging

Advantages: Funny, a great teenage film!
Disadvantages: It is a kids film so adults may not like it as much!

Well first things to mention: This is a teenage film, for people around 12-16, so if you are any older than this, and your watching it, you need to bear it in mind when reviewing it! Which is what I am doing, I am remembering how I was at that age and remembering the type of films I was watching at that age! I was also watching this with a 13 year old, who loved it!!! The film is about a typical teenage girl, Georgia, her worries in life are: her ...
...from a boy, her parents, her weird little sister, the popular girls, not been pretty enough, not been anything "enough"!!!! (oh for the teenage life eh!) Georgia and her friends are 13 going on 14, so in year 9 of high school, they're not popular, but they're not complete outsiders. They tend to stick to their own group of 4 friends, Jas is Georgias best friend, but they also hang about with Ellen and Rosie. When new boys, brothers Tom and Robbie ...
