We're the Millers (2013)

Brilliant simple comedy, worth a watch

[7/10 · 27 September 2013]

I hadn't seen a good comedy in a long time and they seemed to be getting hard to find. We're the Millers is the best I've seen in a while!

It's a good film with a basic plot that doesn't require much thought. Sit back, relax and laugh. The story is by no means fantastic but comedies don't need the killer story-line anyway. Full of frequent laughs and the occasional brilliant line.

The cast were well selected for their roles and they play off of each other brilliantly. Will Poulter (Kenny) is especially good and adds a lot to the humour in the film. Nice feel good comedy and perfect to watch with a few friends for a good laugh. Worth a watch!! (7/10)

2 Guns (2013)

Not as good as expected

[6/10 · 27 September 2013]

When I first saw the trailer for '2 Guns' I couldn't wait to see it. It had so much potential to be a great film but after watching it seems to be a bit of a let down. Almost any Denzel Washington film is at least good and usually a great film, this is an exception to the rule. The plot isn't great and it isn't delivered well either. At times it is even confusing. The selection of Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg to play along side each other should have resulted in loads of funny little lines throughout the film and both actors playing off one another. This was not the case. The script didn't allow the full potential of this acting pair to be utilized. This was one of the main reasons this film fell down. Without Wahlberg and Washington being used fully it just became a mediocre action film with two expensive main actors and a confusing storyline. (6/10)

About Time (I) (2013)

Terrible idea, delivered very well

[7/10 · 27 September 2013]

About time was much better that I expected it to be!

I didn't like the idea of time travelling in a rom-com and expected it to be a very poor film. I wouldn't of even gave this film a second thought only for my girlfriend really wanted to see it. So I went in expecting the worst and came out pleasantly surprised.

After I got over the whole idea of time travel I saw what this film really is. A very well told story with plenty of humour along the way. Bill Nighy (Tims Dad)is excellent throughout the film and fills the story with the witty lines that break up the serious scenes.

Definitely worth a watch if you can make yourself ignore the time travel aspect of things. (7/10)
