The other night, I went to go see the much-anticipated movie, Year One, starring Jack Black and Canadian actor, Michael Cera.
I had been waiting to see this movie for a while and finally went this week at the Scotia Bank Theatre on Richmond. The trailer for this movie was absolutely hilarious, much like the film itself.
Zed (Jack Black) and Oh (Michael Cera) are banished from their primitive Hunter-Gatherer village and together, set off on a hysterical journey through ancient times.
I found myself laughing out loud during several moments in the funny flick. This is certainly not a movie of much substance, but definitely a must-see movie if you are fans of either actor. Paul Rudd and other well-known stars make uncredited cameos, so you will be kept constantly entertained.
I recommend seeing this movie with a few friends who enjoy silly, obvious jokes, but if you don't make it out to this movie in theatres, that's okay. It may make a better rental for home viewing.
Year One
The Proposal
Tonight, Jessie and I went to see The Proposal, starring Ryan Reynolds (Van Wilder, The Amityville Horror) as Andrew Paxton, an aspiring book editor/executive assistant to Sandra Bullock (Miss Congeniality, Speed) as Margaret Tate, a total bitch boss from hell.
Margaret is about to be deported to Canada, but decides to blackmail her executive assistant, Andrew, into marrying her so that she can stay in the States and keep her job as head-hauncho at the editing company.
I did not necessarily have high hopes for this movie initially, but had heard some good reviews from friends. I could classify this film as a chick flick, or well-rounded comedy - both genres come together to create this absolutely hysterical, feel good movie of the summer for everyone. The humour is witty, dry and sarcastic - just the way I like it - with a hilarious, entertaining and totally original story line to keep the audience laughing at/with and feeling for every character in the movie.
Even if you are not a fan of chick flick movies, this movie is still for you! I very highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a good laugh.
Two ecstatic thumbs up for The Proposal!
Movie Reviews
In the past two weeks, I have seen two movies: UP and The Hangover. I highly recommend BOTH of these movies.
UP was a heart-warming tale of an old man who hoped to fulfill a promise he made to his wife a long time ago. Through constant adventure, the audience is kept in constant stitches from laughing. The characters are all well-developed and are absolutely hilarious. The plot made me melt. All in all, I think this is one of the best animated movies I have EVER seen! Be sure to see it in 3D with a group of friends, your significant other, or maybe even your mom!
The Hangover is definitely one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. The story line is hysterical, with one-liners and bizarre situations around every corner, the audience is basically crying from laughter. You may find yourself relating some of the characters to your group of friends, as well as keeping your fingers crossed that you never find yourself in these silly situations - maybe! Overall, a great, funny flick to see with your friends!
