For me, “Sex Drive” was an instant classic. I couldn’t stop laughing all the way through this ridiculous romp. Like most of the movies I prefer, it’s based on a book (’All the Way’ by Andy Behrens). I was absolutely entertained and look forward to watching it again.
The film …

Mr. Mom is really a cute little movie from 1983. I don’t think of it as an A-list movie, but more of a B-film that still delights and is pretty funny. It was also pretty topical for its era. In truth, it’s still topical to a …

After the ring came out in 2002, quite a few movie producers have tried to copy its success by tweaking the plot a bit.
One Missed Call does this as well. Too bad they don’t do a good enough job at it.
In theory, this should be a scary film. Whenever …

I have a lot of respect for 1955’s Guys and Dolls because it pulled off the surprise sensation of the year, musically. I recently reviewed Chicago and commented there how surprised I was at the performances of non-singers and dancers Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Renee Zellweger. …

From 2002, Farewell to Harry is a small story, told quietly. It has some very slow moments, but that’s the grace of the film. It also has that mystery to it, to figure out what is truth from what is whimsy. I found that as I …

Certain characters, mainly townsfolk, …

This movie is based very loosely on 12th Night by Shakespeare. I watched the actual movie 12th Night first so when I saw She’s the Man, I put it together that it was based on it. Basically this movie is about this pair of twins, a boy and a …

First let me say that the rating …
