Movie Review Sunday!

So while on vacation we took the time to catch up on some movie watching! Thought we'd share with you our thoughts on the ones we watched!

.....

"Definitely, Maybe" - A political consultant tries to explain his impending divorce and past relationships to his 11-year-old daughter.

Jenn – Overall, a good movie….The storylines surrounding each of the past relationships is interesting, but after bouncing back and forth so many times you start to wonder if there’s going to be an end in sight!

Matt – Surprisingly good…Unusual storyline, but a good movie!

.....

"Meet Bill" - A guy fed up with his job and married to a cheating wife reluctantly mentors a rebellious teen.

Jenn – Actually kinda funny…Odd, but funny!

Matt – A few holes in the plot, but kinda funny in a “could-life-suck-anymore” kind of way!

.....

"Ratatouille" - Remy is a young rat in the French countryside who arrives in Paris, only to find out that his cooking idol is dead. When he makes an unusual alliance with a restaurant's new garbage boy, the culinary and personal adventures begin despite Remy's family's skepticism and the rat-hating world of humans.

Jenn – Another great Pixar movie! Never had a crazy desire to watch it before, but once it started it was really easy to get into!

Matt – Very entertaining!

.....

"Made of Honor" - A guy in love with an engaged woman tries to win her over after she asks him to be her maid of honor.

Jenn – Of course it’s a typical chick flick, but it’s a fun movie to watch…Pretty funny too!

Matt – Does providing my review admit that I watched it?? The previews made this out to be a total chick flick – which it was – but McDreamy was far less of a woman than I was expecting him to be in this movie…Pretty good if you have to watch i!

.....

"The Bucket List" - Two terminally ill men escape from a cancer ward and head off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos before they die.

Jenn – Not one to watch when you’re having a bad week! Somewhat depressing, but overall the story is good and doesn’t totally leave you wanting to jump off a bridge! Both of the actors were really good…The movie wouldn’t have been nearly as good without the two of them!

Matt – Heartwarming…Surprise twist at the end – You know what’s going to happen, but they still surprise you!

.....

"The Great Debaters" - A drama based on the true story of Melvin B. Tolson, a professor at Wiley College Texas. In 1935, he inspired students to form the school's first debate team, which went on to challenge Harvard in the national championship.

Jenn – A very good, historical movie. The plot moves quickly and there’s enough action to keep it interesting!

Matt – Denzel Washington is the man. Well-done movie – A very touching perspective on racism in the old South.
