Some Hilarious Moments
PostedMarch 16, 2010

from Santa Clara, CA
Overall, it was decent. I probably wouldn't recommend spending full price on this ticket, but catch it on matinee.
There are a few scenes that had me and the audience laughing so hard we probably missed some lines. The bathroom scene was awesome.
Everyone in our group of 5 (3 girls, 2 guys) enjoyed the movie (and 2 of those people have fallen asleep in the last few movies they attended, so they're picky). A few slow parts, but overall a good time.
Don't really know why it's rated R. Not THAT bad. No heavy drinking, some swearing, and only a little bit of nudity, no heavy sex scenes.

Best Movie of the Series- So Far
PostedJuly 16, 2009

Hands down, best movie of the series so far. I don't know if it was all the director or if it was partly the screen writer, but there was a lot less junk added that wasn't in the book. My biggest issue with prior movies was all the extra scenes they added that were solely for special effects or weren't true to book just to make the director look good. This movie was MUCH more true to book. Also, the subject matter is more interesting (older kids, more action in the plot) and the acting has improved. Radcliffe still SUCKS as an actor, but he sucks less. And everyone else was better, which made up for it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Good, but too long

Sequels are hardly ever as good as the originals. And while this movie wasn't bad, it also wasn't as amazing as the 1st movie. It did have many moments which made me laugh (like the 1st) & some good action sequences (like the 1st), but the plot WAS hard to follow/lacking (unlike the 1st) & WAS too long (unlike the 1st which flew by). I didn't feel like it was too long until the last scenes. The stuff in the desert takes WAY too long. They could have cut down & NOT added all the special effects just to show off. Plus, the ending was too abrupt & left me with quite a few questions/unresolved issues. It was a good movie, & one I was glad to see in theaters, but not one I would see again in theaters. Nothing you have to see opening day.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Funny& Romantic, perfect for everyone

I was very impressed with this film. I went in expecting a cheesy, romantic comedy with a few funny parts (probably just the ones I saw in the previews), but I was thorougly impressed. Our whole group had a great time. Very funny. Kept all of us laughing and got the sappy romantics of our group (me) all teary-eyed. Betty While and Oscar Nunez were great supporting roles in addition to Ryan Reynolds and, of course, Sandra Bullock. Great Film. Would be a perfect date movie. Guys and girls can both enjoy this film!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Perfectly Balanced "Holy S***" moments & Humor

This movie was excellent at having those moments that were JUST disgusting enough to make you laugh and go "Oh D*mn!", without making you sick. I often find many of the movies go a little too far or too disgusting, but this movie found a blend of just enough to shock you a but, but also falling out of your chair laughing. Saw it with my brother and my best friend, who can be pretty uptight sometimes, and ALL of us enjoyed it.
And it's not one of those movies that has all the good parts in the previews. It was funny from start to finish.
Was totally worth seeing it in theaters where you could turn to everyone around you and go "Did they REALLY just DO that?!?!" GOOD TIMES!

See it Twice!
PostedJanuary 16, 2009

If you're a fan of the book, you must see this movie twice. The first time you see the movie, all you can focus on is the differences from what you imagined and what they did. You can't help noticing the lines they added in or the parts they changed. Plus how you imagined each character is going to differ from the person sitting next to you. That is why you should see it twice. The second time around you can focus on the parts you liked and the parts they DID keep the same. Plus you can enjoy it for just being the fabulous movie it is. I've seen it more than twice now, and I've convinced a range of book-fans to see it a second time and everyone agrees unanimously that you should see it a second time because it is so much more enjoyable.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
