Quick and Dirty Movie Reviews
November 16th, 2009 — Comedy, Drama, Romantic
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.
August 28th, 2009 — Drama, Romantic
Basic Plot: Three Irish Catholic brothers deal with love, values, and their relationships with women.
Outburst: I really just couldn’t get into this movie, partly because of the grainy film (it was a very low-budget affair) and partly because of the intermixed story lines. Three separate stories is just one too many.
(1 of 3 stars) — Not bad, but not exceptional.
August 2nd, 2009 — Comedy, Musical, Romantic
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.
