Book Club (2018)
good fun
This is just a fun movie. a lot of old familiar faces. good laughs. cute story line. not an academy award winner but a good fun movie. nice escape for a couple of hours. lots of laughs.
The Secret Life of Pets (2016)
so so at best
i really like good animated movies. this is just so-so. the first 15 minutes or so is very good when introducing the characters and the story concept - what our pets do when we the owners are away. lots of humor. cute story line and most of what all of the ads show - the best part of the movie. I don't know if this is a spoiler but when Max and Duke get mixed up with the sewer animals, the story line goes from stupid to absurd. it's almost like there were different groups doing the story line for different parts of the movie and then the hodge-podged it together. the concept is good and cute and potentially very funny. the way the story wanders from the original concept really drags it down. I was really disappointed in the end product. I did laugh at times, there were some cute funny moments - but for every funny scene or line, there were a multitude more that were not. it's not a terrible movie, it's just not very good either.
The Angry Birds Movie (2016)
not a good or entertaining movie at all
I am a big fan of animated moves and i'm a big angry birds game fan, but this movie was beyond being stupid. I've read other reviews raving about the movie and all I can think is that we didn't see the same movie. there were a few funny lines and scenes, mostly in the first 5 minutes, that were cute and funny but if you've seen the trailers, you've seen the best parts of the movie so save your money. 10 minutes in, I was falling asleep. watching the Eagle urinate into the pool is not my idea of entertainment and definitely NOT something I expect to see in a movie where many children will be attending. I sat in a theater pretty full and a mixture of adults and children, there was very little laughter or verbal response to any of the 'humor' so I must not be alone in my dislike. my 6 yr old liked it, the 8 year not much at all.
Vacation (2015)
one of the worst ever
there is no way to describe how bad this movie is. when we arrived, we were the ONLY 2 people in the theater! eventually 2 more people came in. I've read some of the positive reviews, and I can only surmise that we saw different films. there are no words to describe how horribly bad this film is. I cannot fathom how anyone associated with making it, especially the leading characters, would allow their names and careers to be associated with such a disgusting film. how many times can a 9 year old say "fuck" or vagina or some other body part out of context. swimming in feces is supposed to be funny? the humor is less than juvenile. I don't think I have ever seen my wife walk out of a movie, no matter how bad. she really wanted to see this but was ready to leave after 20 minutes. I would give this move a minus "-" rating if possible but a 1 is the only option.
