Just Go With It

 Just Go With It is about a guy (Adam Sandler) who has his friend (Jennifer Aniston) help cover a lie he told his girlfriend(Brooklyn Decker). I think Just Go With It was funny because everybody has moments where they say or do something funny. I liked that most of the movie they were in Hawaii. Sometimes people would steal the stage but it all turned out well. I recommend this movie. 1 hour 50 minutes. Rated PG-13 for frequent crude and sexual content, partial nudity, brief drug references, and language. Starring Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman, and Brooklyn Decker. Directed by Dennis Dugan. Grade C-.

Gnomeo & Juliet

      Gnomeo & Juliet is about two garden gnomes (James McAvoy, Emily Blunt) who love each other but their families are rivals. I think Gnomeo & Juliet is a family comedy because there was nothing inappropriate and there was a lot of laughs. Sometimes the talking lost me, but I still liked it. I recommend this movie. Rated G all ages allowed. 1 hour 24 minutes. Micheal Caine, Maggie Smith, Emily Blunt, and James McAvoy. Directed by Kelly Asbury.Grade B.

The Eagle

  The Eagle is about a young warrior ( Channing Tutam) and his slave (Jamie Bell) who try to get back a piece of Roman pride a.k.a the eagle. I think The Eagle is a movie of battles and twists because the whole movie they were battling people and tricking some others. This movie did have trouble holding back on the violence with cutting off heads and torturing people. I recommend this movie for older people. Rated PG-13 for battle sequences, and some disturbing images. 1 hour 54 minutes. Starring Channing Tutam, Tahar Rahim, and Jamie Bell. Directed by Kevin Macdonald. Grade B-.

True Grit

  True Grit is about a girl's (Hailee Steinfeld)  dad who was killed so she has a man of true grit (Jeff Bridges) to hunt him down and kill him. I think this classic movie: True Grit is fantastic from the comedy to the action because the gun shots and showdowns were awesome. But the comedy was unbeatable. I highly recommend this movie. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of Western violence, some disturbing images. 1 hour 50 minutes. Starring Jeff Bridges, Hailee Stiefeld, Matt Damon, and Josh Brolin. Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Grade A.

Gulliver's Travels

 Gulliver's Travels is about a mail room loser (Jack Black) who travels to the Bermuda Triangle for some research to impress a girl (Amanda Peet). But gets in some big time trouble. I think Gulliver's Travels wasn't gripping and was lame because it was hard to understand all the stories in it and options of the tiny people changed all the time. Rated PG for brief rude humor, mild language, and action. 1 hour 25 minutes. Starring Jack Black, Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, and Amanda Peet. Directed by Ron Letterman. Grade C-.

Little Fockers

  Little Fockers is about a male nurse named Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) who isn't good enough for the father in-law ( Robert De Niro) but turns out to be the golden one. I think Little Fockers is a funny movie mostly because of Ben Stiller but the children add a lot of humor to it. I recommend this movie. Rated PG-13 for mature sexual humor throughout, language, drug content.1 hour 38 minutes. Starring Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman Barbara Streissand, Blythe Danner, and Teri Polo. Directed by Paul Weitz. Grade B-.

Yogi Bear

 Yogi Bear is about a bear named Yogi (Dan Aykroyd) and his pal Boo Boo ( Justin Timberlake) who try to save beloved Jellystone Park. I think Yogi Bear is a great family comedy because it's very appropriate and the two bears are hilarious and adventurous.I highly recommend this movie. Rated PG for no reason. 1 hour 19 minutes. Starring Dan Aykroyd, Justin Timberlake, Andrew Daly, Tom Cavanaugh, and Anna Faris. Directed by Eric Brevig. Grade B+.

The Green Hornet

 The Green Hornet is about a partying 30 year old (Seth Rogen) who teams up with his dad's mechanic ( Jay Chou) to save lives, but pose as villains. While a real villain ( Christoph Waltz) tries to kill them. I think The Green Hornet is a movie that doesn't hold back on the comedy or action because mostly everything Seth Rogen's character said was funny. It was a lot of gun shots and deaths but I knew that would happen. I recommend this movie. Rated PG-13 for violent action, language, sensuality, and drug content. 1 hour 58 minutes. Starring Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Tom Wilkinson, and Cameron Diaz. Directed by Micheal Gondry. Grade B.
