Movies of 2007 Review
Good Luck Chuck
- Comedy
Another typical and predictable comedy with every nerd's dream girl Jessica Alba. While she pretends to act, Dane Cook looks worse than he has ever looked and does a disservice to his immature acting career. He was much better in Employee of the Month, co-staring with someone that has little acting ability, Jessica Simpson. With that said, Simpson would have put more into the role of this film had she been cast instead of Alba, but since this film lacked a script it had no chance. Shallow characters. Predictable. Formulamatic. Much like a vegetarian dinner, it leaves you feeling empty inside and light in the head. Watching it twice would be a violation of the Geneva convention or perhaps more effective than water-boarding.
The Heartbreak Kid
- Comedy
Remake of 1972 movie. This one stars comic genius Ben Stiller. At first his new wife played by Malin Akerman seems somewhat attractive and interesting, then she quickly becomes a nightmare. Stiller's character is extremely flawed and compulsive. This film seems like it will follow a formula to a predictable ending, then pleasantly surprises the audience with something refreshing and extremely comical. The movie will not let you down or make you wish it hadn't been remade. The Farrelly brothers may have outdone themselves with some help from an existing hit, remade, and worth watching. Not cliché! Stiller does such a good job with the character you are as frustrated with the idiot character as you are impressed with the legendary comic actors portrayal. Many laughs.
Transformers
- Ignorant
This movie is absolute rubbish! You should be paid by the theater to sit though the entire length of this pathetic pop culture, follow the lemming piece of crap. Michael Bay should give up directing since idealism and the total absence of genuine creativity seem to hinder his efforts. This movie is more about propping up political correct idealistic characters that's social position is so unlikely to allow them to be what we are supposed to believe they are in the movie, gang banger inner city l33t computer hackers, airhead blond top Pentagon cryptographers, and a wimpy young boy battling evil robots, give me a break. Could have been a good movie. Military scenes, desert battle with scorpion like robot is the best part. Bad movie physics. Huge robots taller than 4 story building tip toe suburbia and manage not to crush anything or leave 20 foot deep foot prints in hards or awaken any neighbors. Really stupid movie. Go watch the cartoon for a 500% increase in quality, and that's not saying much. Avoid! Makes Jurassic Park seem intelligent or Titanic seem deep (pardon the pun!) Those who enjoyed this movie may also like Harry Potter and flushing their heads in public urinals without prior flushing.
