Movie: Role Models (Review)
Posted By Jeff On January 28, 2009 @ 9:04 am
Role Models is a good example of what a true comedy movie needs to be: Funny. I’m not exactly sure where this genre has been hiding the last year or so, but there has been an evil being trying to masquerade as one. It’s about time that Comedy return to slay the dull and Role Models is just the one to do it.
The plot of Role Models involves two friends, Danny (Paul Rudd) and Wheeler (Seann William Scott). Danny’s girlfriend (Elizabeth Banks) breaks up with him, the guys break some laws and are assigned to community service. Their punishment was to take part in a mentoring program lead by Gayle Sweeny (Jane Lynch), ex crack addict and quite frankly pretty insane. Danny gets paired up with a role-playing knight of LAIRE named Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), and Wheeler gets the joy of hanging out with the foul mouthed 10-year old nightmare that is Ronnie (Bobb’e J. Thompson).
This movie comes off as a simply fun movie. The characters are well written and there is enough of a consistency of humorous parts that the movie never seems to settle down. Development of the character relationships flowed smoothly, without ever missing a beat that this movie is supposed to be funny (a rare thing lately). A good combination of banter between the characters lead this to it’s success, and a few shoots of Scott getting hit in the nuts didn’t hurt.
Though fairly new to the stage, Thompson and Mintz-Plasse (yes, he was McLovin’!) did a fantastic job and if nothing else may have even cast a shadow on the veteran acting skills of Scott, Raul and Lynch combined. I can only look forward to seeing some more greatness out of these two.
Overall, I was really impressed with this movie. Being that comedies are by far my favorite genre out there, it’s nice to see that there are actually still some people working in Hollywood that are willing to put some effort into making one solid movie instead of trying to squish it together with another one (ie romantic-comedy) to get a bigger audience. If you build it well, they will come. And did I mention they dressed up as KISS?
Final Score: 9/10 ‘Almost as good as seeing her whispering eye’.

Movie: Happily N'Ever After (Review)

Happily N’Ever After
Decent movie, though with the recent release of the third Shrek movie it makes me wonder who came up with the idea of the bad guys taking over first. Oh well.. There were a lot of points where the older audience will pick up on things. For example, there was a part where the evil step mother was telling Cinderella what she has to do before going to the ball and she said “Shampoo the cat, whiten the tub, give the carriage a lube job” then the evil step sisters giggle. I don’t think many kids will get that. Unfortunately, the slight humor that is shown in the first 15 minutes of the movie quickly fades and you forget that the movie was any good by the end.
However, a notable part that I found entertaining was a discussion between Rumplestiltskin and the evil step mother. Rump was trying to convince her to let him be the evil sidekick and she asks him why he thinks he’s evil to which he replies “I stole a baby! What’s worse than stealing a baby?!” and I burst out laughing. Another note that was funny is that The Wizard (George Carlin) went on vacation to go golfing. For those who know of Carlin’s comedy routines, he often insults golfing and talks about how stupid it is. So that’s a pretty notable point for fans out there.
Overall the movie started off good, but then quickly became dull and uninteresting. It seems that the ‘Prince charming’ is an idiot and they all end up Happily Ever After, which seems ot be directly copying the characteristics of it’s better counter part in the genre, Shrek. Though the movie has a number of famous names associated with it, I don’t feel that the plot held it’s own and you’d be better off watching Mike Myers discuss his onion theory on ogres again.
Final: 5/10
The 10 Command Promts

1 I am the Lan your God, who linked you out of the land of Exclusion, out of the house of solitude; you shall have no other gadgets before me.
2 You shall not make for yourself an intranet, whether in the form of anything that is on highway above, or that is on the bandwidth beneath, or that is in the wave under the bandwidth. You shall not downgrade to them or warchalk them; for I the Lan your God am a jealous God, punishing newbies for the iniquity of elitest, to the third and the fourth generation of those who block me, but showing steadfast <3 to the thousandth generation of those who <3 me and keep my READ ME.
3 You shall not make wrongful use of the serial code of the Lan your God, for the Lan will not reconize any device who misuses his code.
4 Remember the Start-up day, and keep it refreshed. For six patches you shall execute and do all your functions. But the seventh patch is a reboot to the Lan your God; you shall not do any functions–you, your Peripherals, your server, your packets, or the trojan horse in your documents. For in six patches the Lan made the highway and bandwidth, the browser, and all that is in them, but restored the seventh patch; therefore the Lan booted the Start-up day and copied it to clipboard.
5 Honour your processor and your motherboard, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lan your God is giving you.
6 You shall not disconnect
7 You shall not connect to other networks
8 You shall not spam
9 You shall not upload bears against your neighbour.
10 You shall not infect your neighbour’s hardware; you shall not infect your neighbour’s Wi-fi, or server, or OS, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour.
