Everyone's Hero (2006)
Swing and a Miss
Usually, i am pretty forgiving when it comes to rating movies, but this movie deserves no forgiveness. This movie is utter nonsense. Like most other baseball movies, it does cover the idea of never giving up no matter how bleak the odds look, but unlike other baseball movies, the message just does not ring true. The message about not giving up is not a constant during the movie, and is instead replaced with slapstick comedy, and booger and fart jokes. This movie could have been very funny, but instead, fails at delivering time and again. The animation is fairly decent, and it is a clever idea for a story, but in the end, every part of this movie falls thru. All in all, not even a good movie for "just the kids". Oh, and if you are a Chicago Cubs fan (which I am, seeing as that I am from the windy city) there is a TON of slandering in this movie, making the Cubs out to be cheaters, thieves, and idiots. If you are a Cubs fan, STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS. This movie will just make you mad.
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)
Movie To Make Benefit Of All Viewers
Seriously, this is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. There were only a few moments during the movie when I was not laughing out loud. Borat's inexperience makes everything he does that much more funny. The best part about this film is the outsiders view of America. Borat dives headfirst into our country and throws caution to the wind. He learns about humor, etiquette, rodeos, driving, baywatch, toilets, and religion. One of my favorite sub-genres of comedy movies is the mockumentary, and this movie gives Christopher Guest and his crew a run for their money.
His exploits will keep you laughing long after the movie ends. If you are looking for a laugh- out-loud comedy, you will not be disappointed.
