About the blog:

Well, hello! Thanks for stopping by to read my opinions about movies that I see. Some are older and most are new. Some I go to see in the theaters (both live performances and movies) and some I watch from the comfort of my own couch and even more, I will watch from the amazing Netflix app. Of course, these will be my personal thoughts about the targeted item, however, it will give you an idea of whether it's a colossal waste of time or worth a shot!

Hoping for a wild getaway, the boys instead find themselves outsmarted and out-partied by the uncontrollable duo. Written by 20th Century Fox

MY REVIEW
This movie was a laugh fest from beginning to end. There were some moments that were just a little too much, but for the most part, I really enjoyed this film. It's hard for me to give anything a 10, much less a 9, so an 8 is as far as I am willing to go. Yes, it did lack some real depth, but apparently, the REAL BROTHERS whom this movie was written about didn't pull too many punches! This is a good real funny movie. Definitely heavy on the adult humor so keep the kids at home!!

What I DID LIKE about this movie:
  • Director Jane Szymanski did a great job at keeping this lighthearted and silly WITH the plot and story lining up. Great Job!!
  • It's good for a great laugh. I was laughing the ENTIRE time during this movie. It's not meant to be Ben Hur, it's a fucking comedy about two dork brothers who just can't get their shit together. 
  • Well, obviously I liked it, the writers for this were the same ones from Neighbors, The 40 Year Old Virgin.... etc!
  • Excessive use of the work FUCK. I felt like it was pretty consistent with the amount of times I say it in real life!!
What I DID NOT LIKE about this movie:
  • It wasn't great, it wasn't a spectacular movie. It was what it was. It was never meant to be a critically acclaimed movie with oscars coming out of their ears.
On a more personal note.....We had a scavenger hunt at work today. The whole team got involved. There were some really obscure things on the list but we were able to find 95% of the items. No one seemed to have a pair of nitrile gloves! Seriously? That was pretty funny. This is Trey's desk filled with the items on the list which included items like a stuffed animal, framed photo, coupon, tissues, desk lamp, deodorant, toothbrush and a halloween decoration. Our team totally rocked it and we won a $100 Amex gift card.
