I've seen the trailer for this film so many times, and every single time I come very close to peeing my pants laughing. Like literally on the edge of my seat, legs tightly crossed and the boyfriend shaking his head in embarrassment as I cackle my way through the trailer. What can I say? It looks HILARIOUS!
I hope your ready for The Millers..
What to expect:
We're the Millers brings together some of Hollywood's most well known actors. Jason Sudeikis who is best known for his roles in Hall Pass and Horrible Bosses, plays a drug dealing protagonist who forms a fake family made up of a stripper, Jennifer Aniston, ofcourse best known for playing the character 'Rachel' in the incredible TV series Friends. An 18 year old 'virgin' played by Will Poulter and an outcast rebel, Emma Roberts.
The forming of his new loving family is all part of a plan to smuggle 'a smidge' of marijuana into the country. Of course one man in a camper van trying to cross the border would instantly cause suspicion ...therefore meet the Millers. I wont spoil it for you guys but as you can expect everything doesn't quite go according to plan.
The film is said to be a thrill ride of jokes and hilarious scenes based around gender stereotypes and crude sexual content. Of course we get to whitness a raunchy strip tease from Aniston and a rendition of Waterfalls by Poulter ...I personally found the trailer to be hilarious however part of me has a sneaky suspicion that they used up all the good bits for the trailer.
Anyway we shall see, you can check out the official trailer here and expect me take on it very soon :-)
So well all know the following....Santa Clause, The Sandman, The Tooth Fairy, The Easter Bunny and Jack Frost. Well in this year's Rise of the Guardians they are all teamed together to bring you this animated thrill ride this Christmas!
Some of the greatest actors to date voice many of the interesting characters for instance, Hugh Jackman as The Easter Bunny and Alec Baldwin as Santa Clause 'North'. We also get to see Jude Law voice the bad guy Pitch whom represents every child's nightmare, The Bogeyman Unfortunately The Sandman doesn't have a voice but instead communicates through funny facial expressions, kinda' like Gromit the Dog, which just adds to his immense cuteness!
What to expect
The whole plot focuses around Pitch's plan to cover the whole world in Darkness. It is up to Jack Frost, a simple care free boy and The Guardians (Santa, Tooth Fairy etc..) to stop him. The Guardian's kidnap Jack Frost, whom has forever been on the naughty list, in an attempt to get him on their side. I think it is safe to say he is a little reluctant at first.
This film is full of comedy, witty tag lines, feel good moments and a bit of upbeat action from The Guardians. It will get you super duper excited for Christmas and will make you want to crawl into a dressing gown in front of an open fire. It is definitely a family film!
So be prepared because Rise of the Guardians is released in the UK onth 25th November....SO SOOOONNN!!!
The Watch (15) is a strange mix between a serious alien invasion sci-fi and a new version of the boys from the 2009 hit The Hangover! Director Akiva Scaffer has taken some of the biggest names in the modern comedy film industry such as Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn, and created a laugh out loud and yet mellow combination.
The Watch involves, as you might have already guessed a neighbourhood watch team formed by the main character Evan, played by Ben stiller. It takes the form of three other extraordinary characters which include, Jonah Hill who plays Franklin, a stressed, angry yet lovable young man. Bob played by Vince Vaughn who has no interest in the watch, instead he is more interested in booze, pool tables and protecting his young daughter from hooligans who think with nothing but their 'magic wand'. Finally there is Jamarcus played by Richard Ayoade, an intelligent remarkable young British Chap whose dream is to find that one special Asian lady to satisfy his needs...if you get what I mean!
Together they embark on a mission to find the murderer of Evans good friend Antonio! However they have the luck of encountering a few aliens along the way and are, like most action comedies, faced with some awkward hurdles they need to get past in order to stop an alien invasion from happening.
Right now I won't give too much away, however I saw this film yesterday and left the cinema feleing..well .. quite happy. Although the film really isn't the best up to scratch sci -fi comedy it is still non the less a nice light hearted film.
So why so many mixed reviews?
Okay so most people are wondering why the hell Richard Ayoade is in the film in the first place! For those of you who don't know, Richard is a British actor know most for his role in the TV series The IT Crowd. So why in the world would they stick him with ..oh I don't know...Some of the most popular comedy actors around at the minute? It just doesn't make any sense. Don't get me wrong Richard is a brilliant actor, fantastic in every way, its just his casting in this film, doesn't quite add up.
On the other hand the film as a whole is funny, I did personally laugh out loud at some of the awkward scenes. However the film is not consistently hilarious. For example, yes it does have some really funny puns and one-liners yet the chuckles slowly start to fizzle out as the film goes on. I couldn't help but feel a little lost with the movie plot along the way and I found myself asking 'When is this going to end?'
All in all the film is a very light hearted film and very good if you fancy a chuckle. Therefore I give this film a 5/10.
