Film Reviews by NC

Seems older film than 2011, and Rowan snagging tall blondes is a bit further fetched than being a karate expert, but is all clean fun.

Could have been funny....had Dwayne and Wahl..........could have been tough.......had Wahl and Dwayne...........but somewhere became an horrific comedy of errors.

Characters are not likeable. Content is not likeable. Goes from Hammer Horror film, skipping Silence of Lambs, to Apocolypto.

Normal amalgam of smashed cars and dead people all over the place. Handy that the badies run into the bullets and their guns appear to fire at odds to where they point them ,but is all Roadrunner type violence.

Going way back to Gauntlet with Clint on this one...........witness to get to the court etc.

Quite a good pace, and Ryan has some fun and games along the way. Not as bad as most, and better than quite a few..........

How many actors have an odd eye thing? Cameramen say is often useful in films for some reason. Ryan has the odd eye focus thing, maybe has contacts?

Same trading places type prince and pauper affair as done many many times before, but is quite fun, and rolls along with some humour. Way to many F and blind, but that is the norm in most films from over the water today........

American actors just are themselves? Jason identical in all roles, and all roles are similar. Having said that he fills the gap as the nice guy etc.

Jane Fonda is 77 in this film, which is in itself worth a watch. Golden Pond was a few years back now!

Could have been a bit more biting in the end. A bit pathetic him going back to major cheating wife. There was an optional open clause that he may sort his brain out in 6 months..........by then we hope his old flame has found someone else!

Not sure how much of the clever bits the small ones would actually get. Appears some of the cleverer lines are kept for the cartoons now. A lot of the so called adult films are quite missing out........

Nice little re-make of a very old, known, film. All good acting and takes very simple plot along well. Characters all credible, and Greg shows he can actually act without a string vest on.

Fairly inoffensive compared to some. All good fun had by all. Not really too embarrassing or cringeworthy either. All characters fit together pretty well, despite the amount of them.

Better yuletide offering than most, and thank God Jack Black not anywhere in sight...............Will Ferrel would have tipped it too far over by miles...............

Romps along in road trip/hangover style. Ladies whoop it along with hardly any logic or plot, but who cares?

Will can actually do acting, when not left in charge of the film too much. Everything Must Go and Stranger Than Fiction are way better than anything else he has done.

The 4th form Jackass comedy was all done in Step Brothers, and was new and funny, since then has just become predictable and a bit tedious.

Elf was fun Xmas film, as the zany thing was funny and controlled.........

Film is OK and only moderately stupid every now and then..........

Besides the obvious credibility gap between the couple's age, has to be a 4 purely because it is a well acted proper thinking person's film.

There are so few released that are not zombies, or chain saws, or marvel-comic-computer-generated, that a proper film just has to get a 4.

Cranston does a good execution of the role for sure. Still think the wife should have been less cute and glamorous though. Drops it a bit into the mythical filmland area, and takes some of the credibility away. Cranston is actually 61, but looks 71 in the film. Jennifer is actually 45, but looks a cute 35, so half the age etc. Wishful thinking by male director again?

Very seldom watch films twice, but actually got this now in Blu Ray for about two pounds.

Everyone just fits so well, as does the story, the pace, and the dialogue. Herman Munster as the judge just caps it off. One of my top ten films in my collection, and have about 1300 at last count.

Marisa was then wasted in so many films. She could have been one of the biggest.............

A must watch...........

Forget the old Bogart and Tony Curtis running-away-in-stripped-longjohns..........the 3 guys work so well together. Clever, funny, and some actual philosophy amongst it all.

Quirky film with off the wall guys like Walken, Farrell, and Woody.......what not to like? Black comedy for sure.

Denzel is always the man. Wahlberg can be OK in right context, provided not front runner. Clever, and funny, with action. Must be a US version of Snatch.....well almost
