Step Brothers

Step Brothers

Who's in it: Will Ferrell, John Reilly, Mary Steenburgen, Richard Jenkins, Adam Scott

What's it about: Nancy(Steenburgen) and Robert(Jenkins) have been single withtheir 40 year old songs for a long time. When they finally meet one another, they find that it must've been Fate to bring them together. Robert's son, Dale(Reilly), and Nancy's son, Brennan(Ferrell), are being forced to abandon their lifestyle and live under one roof with their newfound family. They start out hating the other with a passion. However, Nancy's other son, Derek(Scott), brings the two loafers together as friends that do everything together. When the parents break up, both step brothers feel as if the other is to blame, so they get their lives together to strike up the fire the two lovers found before.

What I Think: This movie wasn't what I had expected for it to be. I thought that the commercials were very misleading. It was better than I had expected! Ferrell and Reilly make an amazing comic duo. The storyline was great seeing as the two were acting like teenagers, but were actually two grown adults. Jenkins did a great job as an angry father and Steenburgen did great as the push over mother. Scott I have never seen before but he did great. There were some scenes of slight nudity, but all in all, this was, yet another, great movie for both comedians!

You Don't Mess With The Zohan

You Don't Mess With The Zohan

Who's in it: Adam Sandler, John Turturro, Emmanuelle Chriqui

What's it about: The greatest Israeli counter-terrorist, Zohan(Sandler), is finally wanting to stop the war against the Palestinians. Zohan has superhuman characteristics and fakes his death against Palestine's greatest terrorist, Phantom(Turturro). Zohan then leaves for America with his dream to become a great hair stylist. He get's a job at a salon with his lovely boss, Dahlia(Chriqui). He begins to rush in phenomonal amounts of business and everything is changing very quickly. Zohan, along with Dahlia, want the hostility between Palestine and Israel to stop and will go to any length to stop it.

What I Think: I have always loved Adam Sandler and all of his movies. He has a charm that is getting harder and harder to find these days. He can be completely serious, yet so funny you pee your pants. This is just one more blockbuster for Sandler to add to his neverending list of greats. Turturro was also very funny. Sometimes it's hard to watch him, but here he was in his element. He was also in The Big Lebowski but I didn't mention it because he did not play that much of a significant character. Anyways, I loved this movie and it had me laughing the whole time

Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay

Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay

Who's in it: John Cho, Kal Penn, Rob Corddry, Neil Patrick Harris, Danneel Harris, Eric Winter, Paula Garcés

What's it about: Harold(Cho) and Kumar(Penn) are on their way to Amsterdam to chase down Harold's love, Maria(Garcés). They are thrown off the plane because they're believed to be terrorists. Governmental terrorist investigator Ron Fox(Corddry) is on the duo's tail when they escape from Guantanamo Bay. They are on their way to Texas, where Kumar has found out his love, Vannessa(D. Harris), is marrying Colton(Winter). They get a ride from Neil Patrick Harris(N.P. Harris) and finally get to Texas in hopes that Colton will help them get out of their situation of suspected terrorism because of his connections in the government.

What I Think: This was basically all about sex and smoking pot. I thought that some parts were funny but I didn't like the majority of the movie. There were too many naked women and other degrading references toward females. It was pretty disgusting, but hilarious at the same time. The plot was great to watch unfold. Everything that they got into kept adding to their pile of chaos. The entire movie had me laughing. There is alot of nudity and drug reference, so this is a movie for adults.
