“The Rocker” Movie Review

“The Rocker” Plot Summary

The Rocker tells the story of a failed drummer who is given a second chance at fame. Robert “Fish” Fishman…

Surprisingly enjoyable

The best news here is that Christina Applegate is still hot and Rainn Wilson has escaped from ‘The Office’ effectively. He is a comedic talent with promise

This is a tight little flick that works for what is is. The story flows well and the cast works together comfortably. Looks like they enjoyed the project

The directing and editing are spot-on. This simple low-budget comedy is very well done

There should be another set of awards for films like this. Not Oscars (maybe Felixes), for meticulously crafted smaller films that do what films are supposed to do – entertain.

“He’s Just Not That Into You” Movie Review

“He’s Just Not That Into You” Plot Summary

The Baltimore-set movie of interconnecting story arcs deals with the challenges of reading or misreading human behavior.

A good romantic comedy!

I happened to see this movie with my wife on Valentine’s day. I had entered the theater with low expectations and the only reason I was keen to watch this was because of Ben Affleck and host of other starts. However, as the movie progressed I found myself starting to like it. By the time it ended I was glad it didn’t turn out to be just another stupid romantic comedy made to pull the audiences with big stars

The story is not new yet the script is cleverly written as it juggles between couples all somehow intertwined/related with each other added with nice style of presenting it, thus keeping the viewer interested

The characters are from a wide range of people we encounter in real life. Alex, a guy who’s an ‘expert’ on relationships. He keeps himself away from emotional attachments, runs a bar and plays an agony aunt to Gigi; a lady desperately seeking a soul mate. Next is Beth, Gigi’s friend cum co-worker who is in a relationship with Neil since seven years and is very keen to tie the knot as opposed to Neil who loves Beth, is loyal to her but believes marriage is not an assurance of loyalty. This fact is proved by Ben; Neil’s friend who’s married to Janine (who also happens to be Gigi’s co-worker) for around 8 years, but falls for Anna. Next follows a typical chase of ‘A’ following ‘B’, ‘B’ following ‘C’, hidden meanings, signs, a little humor here and there and related stuff

Performances in this movie are fine by everyone if not exceptional. Ben Affleck and Drew Barrymore play their parts with ease. I liked Drew’s small part, especially where she expresses her frustration with today’s increasing use of technology which is leading people apart as opposed to bringing them together. Justin Long impresses with his performance and Scarlett Johansson is convincing as the temptress. The rest of the cast also do not disappoint as well

What I didn’t like about this movie was its length which I found to be a bit long. Also, the soundtrack of this movie is not very impressive, with a couple of exceptions. Finally it would’ve helped if it would have been more funny

I would recommend this fresh take on love, romance, loyalty, marriage and things similar, to anyone who is looking for a good romantic comedy.

    “Wedding Crashers” Movie Review

    “Wedding Crashers” Plot Summary

    John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey, a pair of committed womanizers who sneak into weddings to take advantage of the romantic tinge in the air, find themselves at odds with one another when John meets and falls for Claire Cleary.

    surprisingly funny

    I’m not a guy who usually goes for the gay and sexual humor. This is not because I am a prude, but because these kinds of movies tend to take it too far and just isn’t funny after that point. Wedding Crashers, however, executed this brand of humor perfectly. Another plus that makes this movie an above average comedy is the fact that the comedy did not take away from the plot. Many movies, such as Animal House, go so out of their way to be funny that they forget that movies are meant to tell a story. Wedding Crashers did a great job of keeping the comedy in the realm of a specific plot. Wedding Crashers is a unique and fun movie and I would definitely recommend watching it.

    “The Hangover” Movie Review

    “The Hangover” Plot Summary

    A Las Vegas-set comedy centered around three groomsmen who lose their about-to-be-wed buddy during their drunken misadventures, then must retrace their steps in order to find him.

    Funniest ‘guy movie’ since Wedding Crashers

    Absolutely loved this movie. The theatre was all laughs through the whole movie. Don’t go expecting a cinematic masterpiece but if you are looking for out of control laughter this is your flick. The story was funny the acting was hilarious and I don’t want to spoil it but the end was so funny my wife hurt her ribs (no I’m not kidding) from laughing so hard. I am going back to see this movie again. And I don’t do that often, but for any guy with a sense of humour or has ever been to a bachelor party (or can’t wait to go to a rockin’ bachelor party) this is a must see movie.

    “Yes Man” Movie Review

    “Yes Man” Plot Summary

    A guy challenges himself to say “yes” to everything for an entire year.

    He is back, finally!!

    First of all I would like to say that this movie might seem like Liar Liar at first sight, but it is not!I think this movie is both funny and sweet. What if one word could change everything? I found myself wondering this after leaving the cinema, and I left it with a satisfied feeling of quality

    This is the best Jim Carrey movie I have seen in years. I really enjoyed it and so did the rest of the audience too…And I love the soundtrack on this, the song he has as a ring-tone, Journey – Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) is great, fantastic! I feel real good when I heard it, and the movie made me smile, but not just smile, also feel something! I felt real joy!!I must congratulate the director and the cast for a job well done! You made a movie that really works, and for that I am grateful! Good movies are rear these days. 9/10 for me, will buy it on blue-ray when it comes.
