2 Out of 3 Ain't Bad

Watched 3 films in the past 48 hours. Guess that's what happens when you are off work due to adverse weather conditions. Or at least that is what happens to me. The films in question were: Scott Pilgram vs. The World, Bridesmaids and He's Just Not That into You. When you watch films consecutively it is hard not to rank them. The following list really doesn't mean anything since these movies don't even really fall under the same catagory, but here we go anyways.
  1. Scott Pilgram vs. The World
  2. Bridesmaids
  3. He's Just Not That Into You
I'm going to start with #3 on the list and do the others in future posts.

It just was not very good
I was drawn into HJNTIY (I gotta do that for these longer titles :P) because of the cast, most of whom I
have really enjoyed watching in other films. It was kinda sad watching them in this movie. It wasn't dreadful, but you're time would be better spent watching each of these actors in some of their better roles. Here are some suggestions:

Aniston: Friends (TV), Along Came Polly, Horrible Bosses (which wasn't all that good, except for Aniston's scenes :P ), Office Space, The Break Up (also not fantastic except for...)
Barrymore: Whip it, Charlie's Angels, Wayne's World 2
Goodwin: Once Upon a Time (TV)
Johansson: Iron Man 2, Advengers
Long: Live Free or Die Hard, Galaxy Quest, New Girl (TV)
Philipps: Cougar Town (TV)

Great film
...and many more. The cast is so good in this movie it is a shame it wasn't better. I laughed about 2 times and although there were 1 or 2 cringe invoking moments, there was really not a lot of emotion. Not sure if I'm doing the numbers rating thing yet but what the hell, 3.7/10.


Stay tuned,
