Basic Plot: Romantic comedy about a musician who takes a Hawaii vacation to forget about a recent breakup, only to find his ex (and her new boyfriend) are staying at the same resort.

Outburst: It’s funny and witty and everything I could ask for in a romantic comedy.

/DVD  (3 of 3 stars) — Guys pack up your girls, but try not to be intimidated by male full frontal nudity. Jason Segal can strut his stuff without shame.

Basic Plot:  After a motivational seminar, a pessimistic banker decides to say yes to every suggestion.

Outburst: For the record, I can’t stand Jim Carrey movies. I haven’t like one since Mask. So when this popped on the television I was surprised to find myself running late for an appointment because my attention had been strangely drawn to the screen. It’s a compellingly good story and it is authentically funny, as well.

/DVD  (3 of 3 stars) — A laugh factory and great movie. Does anyone know if that’s was Jim Carrey’s behind or a stunt butt? This blogger wants to know.

Basic Plot: Scrawny kid who watches too many kung-fu movies is magically transported to another realm in which he must return a mystical staff to the Monkey God.

Outburst: I’ve seen more logical plots on pornos.  This is just a thinly veiled attempt to string together intense martial arts scenes between Jet Li and Jackie Chan, with some hot fighting Asian girls thrown into the mix.  It’s pretty awesome.

/CULT  (2 of 3 stars) — If you love comedic kung-fu movies, you’ll find this movie a fun classic.

Basic Plot: Dramady about an angel sent to help a troubled preacher. His presence, however, seems to cause more problems than it solves.

Outburst: Nothing like a feel good Christmas movie to get you into the holiday spirit.

(2 of 3 stars) — This is not a family movie so much as a story for ladies who watch romances.

Basic Plot: Bride-to-be tries to discover her father’s identity by inviting the three potential candidates to her wedding.  It’s a musical featuring hit songs by ABBA, does it really need a plot?

Outburst: For the standard moviegoer, it will be cute and tolerable, but really — what significant other dragged you to see this?  Now if you love musicals or are a groupie for ABBA – this might be the greatest experience since your first orgasm.  See this in as large a venue as possible; the energy and laughter of the crowd will keep you soaring (and singing) along.

 /CULT (2 of 3 stars) — Exquisite fun for musical and ABBA fans, pretty good otherwise.
