She's Out Of My League: My movie review



My hubby and I went out for dinner and a movie last night... I wouldn't normally have picked "She's Out Of My League", but since we had already seen "Clash of The Titans" and nothing else really inspired my attention, we watched this. Needless to say, I wasn't expecting much.



I was actually pleasantly surprised by this movie- it certainly wasn't a brain teaser, but if you find silly things funny, then this is the movie for you! I was expecting most of the jokes to be in the preview, but they certainly weren't- and at one stage I was laughing so much that I couldn't breathe.



I must warn you, this is for people with zero maturity level, but, as long as you go in the mood for a good laugh, and don't take it seriously, I recommend it. It isn't for everyone, but if you liked "The Hangover", "The Ugly Truth", "Knocked Up" or perhaps even "American Pie", then you will find "She's Out of my League" funny. This is probably a tamer movie compared to all of them, but it still has it's moments!

The Ugly Truth: A Movie Review

My friend and I watched "The Ugly Truth" in the cinema last Friday night.


It basically follows the character, Abbey (Katherine Heigl), who is determined and driven at work, but who drastically needs a make-over in the love department. Enter: Mike (Gerard Butler), the womaniser, and Colin (Eric Winter), the "perfect" man.

I loved this movie- it was hilarious! The restaurant scene was fantastic! The whole audience was laughing in the cinema, and I had never heard so many people exclaim as they walked out, how good it was.

The Ugly Truth is not for the faint-hearted though.... while it still follows a fairly standard plot- it is a lot more gutsy than your average "chick flick". I did hear Katherine Heigl say in an interview, that it was a more "R-rated comedy romance"- maybe not quite, but I wouldn't take my mother to see it!

However, this movie is great in so many ways- it appeals to a wide audience- not just the girls, but I could see most men enjoying this film too. Mainly, it is one of the funniest movies I have seen recently... another is "The Hangover". For me it was a 4.5 out of 5.
