Fantastic Fun w/ an Awesome Cast!
PostedOctober 24, 2010
As if gun-toting Helen Mirren weren't enough there's Willis, Freeman, Malkovich, Dreyfus and many others and while the plot could be way better, the action and one-liners kept it entertaining through the end.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This was some funny stuff!
PostedAugust 8, 2010
Reading some of the reviews and listening to critics almost steered me wrong on this one. While the "dinner" part of the movie is rather short and certainly not the focus of the movie, Steve Carrell's character is funny throughout the film. I felt like I was watching Steve Martin as The Jerk it was just one of those characters that you can't help but laugh at everything stupid he does and says and Paul Rudd plays well alongside him. The best part of Dinner for Schmucks to me was Jemaine Clement as Kieran. There should be a spin-off movie based solely on this character, as they did with Aldous Snow from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Overall there were few times that I found myself bored with Dinner for Schmucks, thoroughly enjoyed it!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Certainly More Funny Than Not
PostedJune 21, 2010
Had it's ups-and-downs, some of the music was hysterical! By far it was a pretty funny flick and the jabs at the movie industry were classic. Some scenes could have been left entirely out and no one would have been the wiser, but they're there so sit through them. Russell Brand as the last true rock star was classic!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Overall very enjoyable...
PostedJune 7, 2010
There were a few awkward chemistry moments between Heigl and Kutcher, but overall I felt this was a very enjoyable film. This was a little different for Heigl w/ the spy element, but still screams Rom-Com so it's not like she's playing an Angelina Jolie spy role, but a nice change. For Kutcher this was probably one of the better roles I've seen him in. Given his track-record of goofy characters this could be one of his best roles to date. The balancing part of this movie were Selleck and O'Hara as Katherine's parents, they were great, as usual and Heigl and Kutcher played off of them well.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Made an Impression, Left Us Talking
PostedFebruary 20, 2010
Having guessed the outcome in the first half our, I was impressed with the still engaging storyline and general questioning that the movie let us with.I think the cast did an excellent job with what must have been a tough movie. Definitely want to see it again!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Didn't Do It For Me
PostedJanuary 25, 2010
Little long and drawn out and overall not what I was expecting from the film with Peter Jackson's name and a strong book behind it. Nevertheless the acting was great and Stanley Tucci did a great job at being creepy. Left thinking that while I certainly didn't hate it and some of the imagery was breath-taking, it wasn't something I would need to see again.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The Game is Afoot...
PostedJanuary 11, 2010
Well the game may be afoot, but the movie is a bit of a snoozer. The cast of characters is strong enough and the story is very Sherlock Holmes-ish, so what's the problem? Could probably do without the weird special effects they interject sporadically to show what the character is going to do next, kinda matrix meets Sherlock Holmes, which didn't do it for me. They also could have shaved about 30 minutes off the movie and it would have been fine. Not terrible, but more potential than they carried through on.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Like Epcot's Soarin Meets Space
PostedDecember 20, 2009
Combine 2 of the best adventures Disney/Epcot has ever sent us on - Soarin' and Space, through in amazing special effects and make it close to 3 hours and you have an awesome event! This was much more than just a movie when watching Avatar in 3D IMAX and while I would recommend the movie itself, the event of Avatar 3D IMAX is much more than I could have ever expected.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great Cast & Fx, Weak Story
PostedNovember 22, 2009
Very much what was expected in regards to the overall storyline and plausibility, especially knowing the other Emmerich movies. There were many unnecessary tear-jerker parts that I could have done without. More crazy-acting Woody Harrelson and less drama and the special effects alone would have made me buy this when it's released, but as it stands the tear-jerker moments and ending didn't do it for me.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Some Great One-Liners
PostedOctober 5, 2009
The cast meshed really well together in what could be called a rule book for zombie hunting. It was an easy and fun watch with rather gruesome and at times, large zombies who spewed a lot. Bill Murray's cameo added a little additional comic relief in the middle, where it was needed. A must for zombie fans out there!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
