“Kung Fu Panda” Movie Review
“Kung Fu Panda” Plot Summary
In the Valley of Peace, Po the Panda finds himself chosen as the Dragon Warrior despite the fact that he is obese and a complete novice at martial arts.
Exceptionaly visual, funny, action packed and intelligent movie for all ages.
One of the best comedy movies I’ve seen, this animation feature is both packed with action and intelligent at the same time. It’s yet another variation on ‘You can do anything if you believe in yourself’ and carries strong morale and educational message. But the way it’s done, the incredible visual side of the story, as well as the dialogs, is just exceptional. You can’t but love the fat Panda boy who’s dreaming about being the greatest warrior of all China only to wake up to the reality of hawing to serve noodle soup in his father’s shop. Unlike his father, who also dreamed but never found the courage to act on it, Panda follows his calling and by ‘luck’ get chosen to be the legendary Dragon warrior by the Kung-Fu grand master, the old turtle, to defeat the evil tiger. That’s when his training and troubles start. It’s really for anyone between 3 and 100 and I laughed and loved it from the titles in the beginning to the very end. Much recommended.

“Observe and Report” Plot Summary
Bi-polar mall security guard Ronnie Barnhardt is called into action to stop a flasher from turning shopper’s paradise into his personal peep show. But when Barnhardt can’t bring the culprit to justice, a surly police detective, is recruited to close the case. |
Very good, great messages in the film!
For those who didn’t like it, they probably don’t like dry comedy. The movie had some very serious undertones. The theme about fulfilling your goals and continuing to strive towards your dream no matter what the adversity is, are both positive and powerful messages which is a strong mix with some very crude but acceptable humor. This movie delivered some very positive messages and was very funny in the process, messages that wouldn’t have been as powerful had it been a film like 40-Year-Old-Virgin, which even itself had some serious undertones in it by the end of the film. There is nothing depicted in this film that you haven’t heard illustrated in a dirty joke, and people are taking it way too seriously.

“Horton Hears a Who!” Plot Summary
Horton the Elephant struggles to protect a microscopic community from his neighbors who refuse to believe it exists.
A masterpiece– and funny, too!
I remember hearing about this film when it came out. And, you know what I thought? ‘Oh, this will be an ordinary children’s film that won’t have a good rating on IMDb.’ Then my mother and I came to see it, not fully knowing what to expect… And when I came out of the cinema, I was in absolute awe of ‘Horton Hears a Who!’ Let me tell you why. First of all, the film had excellent humour (including a genius anime parody sequence), yet it also possessed gripping suspense and heartrending drama. It’s likely that you’ll laugh AND cry– the climax made me excited– and probably do either or both loudly. What would happen to the Whos? Secondly, the animation is beautiful– stunningly detailed, yet not too realistic. And, finally– did I mention the intense emotions that this film made me feel? Overall, this film is a masterpiece with the perfect balance of drama and humour. Adults will love the delicious drama, while the younger people will get a good laugh. Bring the whole family — you may not regret it!

“Big Daddy” Movie Review
“Big Daddy” Plot Summary
A lazy law school grad adopts a kid to impress his girlfriend, but everything doesn’t go as planned and he becomes the unlikely foster father. add synopsis
One of Sandler’s funniest
Adam Sandler really began to peak in the 1990’s after he hit it big on SNL. He quickly was pushed into Going Overboard in 1989, which wasn’t terrible but wasn’t good either. Then he began to receive more work throughout then while people seemed to have a feel for him and he became well known, sort of how Seth Rogen is coming into his own now. Sandler really is well known for just playing a normal guy with such a short fuse that ends up getting into a major crisis. If you don’t believe me then watch this movie. It can be touching at moments and tear jerking for some of you out there, but for the most part this is a Sandler comedy that you don’t want to pass by.

“Monsters vs Aliens” Movie Review
“Monsters vs Aliens” Plot Summary
When a meteorite from outer space hits a young woman and turns her into a giant monster, she is taken to a secret government compound where she meets a ragtag group of monsters also rounded up over the years. |
Enjoyable and fun.
Nothing really great, understand, but they took this ‘high concept’-fifties Hollywood movie Monsters and had them battle an alien invasion. Pretty funny.
It’s fast moving, there’s the usual satire(Close Encounters/Trek/Star Wars/the Blob/etc etc nods galore), funny voicers (Stephen Colbert as the Prezzy, Rogen as the Blob, Hugh Laurie as the Fly(more or less), and of course, the expected manic chase/action finale.
Best parts? They did a bang-up job on the Fifty Foot Gal there(Reese Witherspoon), rounding her character out much better than the usual animated gal is(‘the girl’ or ‘the wife’ or ‘the villainess’ etc) and I commend them for it.
Oh and the attack on San Fran is worth the price of admission, too.
*** outta ****, you’ll enjoy.

“Knocked Up” Movie Review
“Knocked Up” Plot Summary
For fun loving party animal Ben Stone, the last thing he ever expected was for his one night stand to show up on his doorstep eight weeks later to tell him she’s pregnant.
Funny
‘Knocked-Up’ was far better than I had hoped. I was not impress with the ‘40 Year-Old Virgin’ or ‘Superbad’ which were crass and uninspiring. ‘Knocked-Up’ in stark contrast still maintains the adolescence humor of ‘40 Year-Old Virgin’ or ‘Superbad’ but is far more intelligent and witty, bordering at times on comedic brilliance. It is also able to match the comedy with a sincere thread throughout, which is hard to achieve. Seth Rogen is great as the expectant father, I am unsure how much of the script was improvised but there were many moments of laugh-out-loud originality, the whole cast delivers on the acting front. At times the jokes can be a little too crude, but overall they are well managed. Special mention to the scene in the Las Vegas hotel between Rogen and Paul Rudd, high on mushrooms their interplay is spot-on and it is moments like this which make it memorable
The one criticism I do have is the last 30 minutes, the gags do not seem to work as well due to the more serious tone, and the film lumbers a little. I respect that the film wanted to make an emotional punch at the end but it dallied a little too long.’Knocked-Up’ is an enjoyable film and I recommend that you make an effort to watch it.

“The 40 Year Old Virgin” Plot Summary
Goaded by his buddies, a nerdy guy who’s never “done the deed” only finds the pressure mounting when he meets a single mother.
The funniest comedy since ‘THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY’ ; Steve Carell is a comic genius – the year’s funniest film!
THE 40 YEAR-OLD VIRGIN (2005) **** Steve Carell, Catherine Keener, Paul Rudd, Romany Malco, Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Leslie Mann, Jane Lynch, Gerry Bednob, Shelley Malil, Kat Dennings. Hysterically funny high-concept comedy about the titular Andy Stitzer (wonderfully played by perennial second banana Carell in a truly extraordinarily comic breakthrough performance sure to stratosphere him to the A-list), a tech services rep for an electronics store in Southern California who is found out about his secretive identity by a trio of well-meaning yet entirely clueless womanizing co-worker buddies (Rudd, Malco & Rogen, each one degree funnier than the next) determined to get their friend deflowered no matter the cost. What follows is an unlikely yet very warm-hearted romance with a vivacious mother (the marvelous Keener having lots of fun here) leading to add more fuel to the fires within Andy. A surprisingly good-spirited and unapologetically raunchy romantic comedy; the funniest since ‘There’s Something About Mary’ with a shrewdly observant script by director Judd Apatow and Carell that features some astoundingly gut-busting sequences including a scathingly accurate David Caruso joke, homophobic debunking ribbing, send-ups of ‘date-a-paloozas’ and demystifying the war of the sexes with cheeky aplomb. A true winner and an instant classic; the funniest film of the year.

“Step Brothers” Plot Summary
Two spoiled guys become competitive stepbrothers after their single parents get hitched.
Fantastic Movie
Saw this movie at a Sneak Preview and needless to say, this is movie is hilarious. There are big laughs left and right, non stop! and thank GOD it was rated R, it wouldn’t have been nearly as good! It was well written by Ferrell and Adam McKay. The dud that was Semi-Pro put a kink in Will’s career in my mind with his whole typical type-casting character he gets in scripts and the way he writes and lets be honest, it was getting old, but Step Brothers put out more than what i needed to get back on the bandwagon of his movies. The spotlight is equally shared between Ferrell and Riley throughout and it really makes you feel like being 12 again and living off of your parents, but watching 40 yr old men doing it is way funnier than any 12 year old can make their childhood seem!! A MUST SEE FOR ANY FERRELL OR RILEY FAN!! We all now can have faith put back into Will Ferrell!

“Superbad” Movie Review
“Superbad” Plot Summary
Two co-dependent high school seniors are forced to deal with separation anxiety after their plan to stage a booze-soaked party goes awry.
Definitely the best Apatow-group film yet
I enjoyed ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin,’ but didn’t feel it was entirely worthy of all the enormous acclaim it garnered. And for all the praise ‘Knocked Up’ received, I thought it was fairly average. So I wasn’t expecting much from ‘Superbad.’ However, I’d have to say it’s the smartest and funniest Apatow film yet. I know he didn’t direct it, but his influence is distinct. And in the past I’ve felt indifferent towards Apatow’s brand of humour, but combined with Rogen’s sensitivity towards the teen condition here, it works really well
People have compared it to John Hughes’ better teen comedies, but I don’t think the approach is entirely similar. ‘Superbad’ is cruder, ruder, a bit more focused on the sex & alcohol jokes. But it works really well because it captures that dynamic – better than ‘American Pie’ because it invests more care into its characters. One of the strengths of ‘Pie’ over other films in its genre (such as, say, ‘Slackers’) has always been its characters, and ‘Superbad’ similarly relies on its characters for support. Plus, it’s just really funny
The performances all around are pretty funny, even if the Fogell/McLovin pop culture references are ruining a good joke (kind of like ‘Yeah, baby!!’ ruined Austin Powers when 20-year-old frat boys around the country thought it would be funny to shout the phrase every five seconds).
Jonah Hill and Michael Cera have great chemistry and another one of the strengths of this film is that its teenage characters actually do look their age (even though Hill is in his early 20s, he still passes as a senior). But it was Bill Hader and Seth Rogen who stole the show for me as the clueless cops
Overall this is just a funny, well-made film with heart. It doesn’t mock its characters or their predicaments but casts a knowing eye on the high school experience. It captures all this very well and was certainly, in my opinion, far superior to ‘Knocked Up.’

“Funny People” Movie Review
“Funny People” Plot Summary
When seasoned comedian George Simmons learns of his terminal, inoperable health condition, his desire to form a genuine friendship cause him to take a relatively green performer under his wing as his opening act.
Funny People… Smart Movie
Funny People: 8 out of 10: What is amazing about Funny people is considering its set-up and storyline it manages to deftly dodge a veritable minefield of bathos laid out before it. The story is about comedian, who is super rich after a string of really bad comedies (Adam Sandler playing himself), finds he has version of leukemia and well is going to die soon. Therefore, he reflects back on his life makes amends and chases the girl that got away with the help of new assistant, a thin Seth Rogen
Yes, it is what we hipsters would call Narm city. Yet this Judd Aptow directed flick is so self aware of the pitfalls that it not just avoids them for the most part but in a true stand up comic style calls them out. This is at its heart a very smart and aware film. What could have been Terms of Endearment with dick jokes turns into an occasionally funny and somewhat touching film. It is also a very real film about real people and I am going to repeat myself here but it is truly smart
The only real downside I see is that I really do not see myself watching this film again anytime soon. It is a great ride but it never reaches that next level. The movie consists of some very funny bits, but do not come aboard expecting belly laughs. In addition, while I found myself enjoying the laid back pace at 153 minutes there is no question this feels more like a directors cut than a tightly paced theatrical release.
