The Darwin Awards (2006)
Thank God for the back-up Casting
The Darwin Awards was too well written for the substandard acting of Winona Ryder and Joseph Fiennes who were very privileged to be given the main roles. It was full of funny concepts, twists, and turns; but fell short of the gut-busting laughter that I had hoped for. I can say, however, that I won't forget the movie because the back-up casting was excellent and helped keep my attention between nodding off and hovering my finger over the "stop" button on my remote. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this movie to a friend as a "good" movie to watch, but rather something to watch if someone is home sick on a Friday night with either this or "Nanny Dearest" to choose from to keep them remotely distracted from fever, chills, and general discomfort...such as I did.
Clifford (1994)
Bust a Gut Funny
Martin Short and Charles Grodin pair up for a hilarious movie about a naughty little boy who's only desire in life is to take a trip to Dinosaur World. It's not hard to buy Martin Short as a 10 year old child thanks to his brilliant acting methods based off of, what I believe is, pain-in-the-rear little brothers. With each new antic that Clifford pulls you'll find yourself laughing and pointing at the most rambunctious male in the room. You might even catch yourself appreciating Uncle Martin's retaliation to Clifford's evil little boy plot to ruin his career for telling a lie. Clifford is a favorite in homes where little boys dream of bigger things and will do anything to achieve them.
