My Rating:

This was a nice surprise. I liked this one a lot because it was unique. It's not like any other movie out there right now. When we picked this up at Blockbuster we thought it would be a full out comedy, obviously because of Will Ferrell, but it was really sweet and...different. I don't exactly how to describe it, but go rent it the next time your at the video store. It might seem a little slow at first, but it ends up pretty good.

J and I watched this movie on Friday night. I thought it was really well done. Meryl Streep was awesome, and damn she looks good for her age. LOL. I loved it.

My Rating:

After the first time watching this movie, I thought it was hilarious and I really liked the movie. I even went as far to claim that I was finally an Adam Sandler fan. But I think I changed my mind. I watched it a second time with J (I watched it the first time with my brother). While I was watching it the second time I couldn't help but think how boring it was! There were only a few very funny moments, it wasn't as good as I thought it was, and J was practically losing interest during the film. I still don't understand how I came to love it the first time. Weird. This is a movie to watch when you're bumming around the house with nothing to do, or just for whatever. I probably wouldn't mind having it in my movie collection, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to spend $15 for it.

PS. I probably won't want to watch this movie again. Unlike 50 First Dates, which I can watch over and over again.

Rating: PG-13
Genre: Action
Director: Brett Ratner
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen

My Rating:

Is it bad to rate this movie after not having remembered whether I saw the first or second one? Actually, I did see the first one, but didn't watch X-Men 2. I'm just not a fan. There were some action scenes that grabbed my attention, but other than that, I wasn't fully entertained.
