30 Minutes or Less ( 2011 )

30 Minutes or Less is a comedy and it is fun and funny . If you fall into the correct age group . I am not taking my parents , and the foul language makes it well worth the MPAA rating of "R" of restricted , even had all the guns, shootings and criminal behavior was absent .

The Villains 

The movie stars Jesse Eisenberg and Aziz Ansari, and the team makes the comedy work, to the point that if they are teamed up again , I would mark in down as another movie to go see . If they are a future comedy team of the likes of Abbott and Costello, Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder or Cheech and Chong , it promises to be a great series of films .

Black-mailed into Robbing a Bank .

The film is built on the their friendship , in a forgiving dialogue at the start of the film , however the same is not done for the villains of the film . As such character development does not occur , you never really feel they are in jeopardy or danger . The comedy prevails as one stupid event leads into another , and nothing does go according to plan .

Escape from the HEAT .

So the movie goes like this , pizza guy and friend , delivery gone wrong , bomb , rob bank , car chase , stand off , phone calls , stand off , the good guys win .

Of course , the good guys win , and the bad guys get their just deserves .

the Sexy and Gorgeous : Dilshad Vadsaria 

The film is like junk food , if you are hungry , you go and eat , and you will be satisfied . But this is not an Oscar winning film in no sense at all .

Stinger : stay till after the final credits for and additional scene .

Hall Pass ( 2011 )

When a wife is fed-up of her husband , she gives him a HALL PASS . One week off from marriage . A whole week , he can do whatever he wants , he is THE SINGLE MAN .

But is being SINGLE , all it is cracked up to be .

The film is truly FUNNY . Complaints come in terms of the variety of humour , basically there is a joke in here for EVERYONE . And this is where the problem lay , the humour can be very ha-ha funny , to downright rude , and a full nude scene . So be prepared to be offended , at some point in the film , it will go to FAR .

GOING TO FAR , is actually what the film is all about . FREEDOM of being single , but only for seven days ( DA-DUM ( Law and Order )) , and how far will you go in those seven days . Married people will related to part of the story , and single people will not be able to understand the HALL PASS part , but relate to living "LA VIDA LOCA" , the single life .

the Directors are from "Dumb and Dumber" and "There is Something About Mary" , and this film goes in the same direction , and surpasses them . The feeling is that the cast know each other , the wives know the husbands , and the husbands are truly friends .

Owen Wilson , has finally found a script and an actor Jason Sudikies , that show his true talent . I am certainly no Owen Wilson fan , but he brought the film together with good dialogue and writing to perform .



Watch out for Nicky Whelan , this Australian actress , the coffee waitress at the DRIP , she truly steals the movie from the wives ( wives what wives ? , were are not married ) as the female lead , as most people are not interested in where or what the wives were up too .

The wives are of course ready for their own mischief in the process ; dealing with their own issues of the HALL PASS .

But like all good movies , the morals overcome all , and the couples are happy in the end , and we suppose they all live happily ever after .




Watch out for Alyssa Milano in a cameo appearance .

STINGER : about 60 seconds after the credits roll , there is an additional scene for their British friend , so sit and wait for it .

Greg’s parents had minor roles in this part as his Mom is a talk show host and his dad went to Spain to learn Flamenco dancing. They both however attend the twins birthday party
Part three had a similar storyline to part one- the same mistrust between Jack and Greg; Kevin’s obsession with Pam. Jack stalking Greg.

There were some good laughs and funny situation, good if you bored and have nothing else to do; I would recommend waiting for the DVD

The Dilemma : is about two life long friends and business partners -Ronny and Nick. Ronny has a gambling problem and a fear of commitment but is in a long term relationship with Beth . Nick is married to Geneva .

When they score a deal with General Motors’ Geneva suggests to Ronny that Beth is as good as it gets and he should propose to her . Ronny agrees and tells Nick he got a deal which will allow him to purchase a $20,000 ring for $10,000 .

Ronny wants the perfect proposal and goes to a botanic garden where he sees Geneva kissing another guy . Of course he falls into poisonous plants and concocts a lie when Beth asks him about it . She becomes suspicious when the $10,000 falls out his pocket .

Ronny confronts Geneva and it is revealed they have a history together before she met Nick which they kept a secret from Beth and Nick . Geneva threatens to tell Nick and Beth that Ronny made moves on her and that he is lying, Geneva also says Nick has been neglecting her and visiting massage parlours .

Ronny follows both Nick (where he confirms Nick visits a Vietnamese massage parlour) and Geneva where he sees she and Zip having sex . He takes some pictures for proof to give to Nick but he is caught by Zip after Geneva leaves and a fight ensues .

Ronny gives a very inappropriate speech at Beth’s parents 40th wedding anniversary which makes everyone suspicious .

Nick follows Ronny when he goes at Zip’s to ask for his camera . Zip holds a gun and cries for his fish and demands $10,000. Ronny gives him $1000 which nick sees .

When Ronnie gets home that night there is an intervention as they all assume he has started to gamble again and that Zip is his bookie - Nick , Beth , his sister , Geneva and even zip are all present with a therapist .

All is revealed at the intervention .

The movie is a funny plot - a comedy of errors, and really begs the question what do you do when if you find out a friend’s spouse is cheating?

Queen Latifah has a small but funny role as an alpha female GM executive and Channing Tatum captures Zip’s bad boy with an inner sensitivity perfectly .

Although it is a comedy Jennifer Connelly captures the role well but shows that her genre should really be drama and independent films, the role was too simple for an actress of that standing.
The film is worth seeing .

How Do You Know (2010)

How Do You Know is a romantic comedy , that is without the romance or the comedy .

The Romance is suppose to rotate around professional baseball player Lisa Jorgenson, an executive George Madison and a major-league pitcher "Matty".

The Love Triangle storyline does not seem to work mostly because the characters are not in love . Lisa and Matty are together from before the begining of the film , so we never see them meet , they only seem to be together due to the fact that they are both professionals in the same sport. Should they wed and move on in life , to expect the children to dominate the sport of Baseball . George Madison, however is around taking advantage of the rocky relationship between Lisa and Matty .

The Comedy comes from situation to situation , and is never the same format twice . Witty comments lead to Revealing Facts to MisSpoken words to Misunderstandings , and rather than being a smooth comedy , the audience is unaware of what is going to be thrown at them next .

To add to the mayhem , everyone is in a CRISIS mode , with Lisa being dropped from her team , George begin charge with a federal crime , and Matty trying to have; what appears to be his first or last "SERIOUS" relationship in his life with Lisa . Meanwhile George's Father Charles Madison, played by Jack Nicholson, is trying to keep his son out of jail , for good measure.

The problem is the CRISIS mode , plays as a back drop for the romance , it is never really addressed , and is never really resolved . While the romance playing the lead in the storyline , has everyone confused and off-balanced . Social issues learnt by most of us , by our first loves and high school romances , were skipped over by all of the love triangle characters . Characters being in their 30s , but behaving like this is their first time in a romantic relationship , is not bought by the audience . The level of maturity for people in their 30s is not there .
