Comedy, Comedy, Comedy

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 1/5

A complete waste of money. Lacking in originality. Lacking in plot. Sorely lacking. Everything. Predictable. Dumb. Humourless humour.

Confessions Of A Shopaholic 3/5

Despite powerful advertising muscles being flexed, a weak movie is a weak movie. It started out good but ended weakly, with all the plots getting wrapped up haphazardly. It is like porn for shopaholics - the appeal is that shallow.

17 Again 4/5

The moment I saw Matthew Perry I thought the movie was going to be awesome. The man doesn't need to try to be funny, to be funny. I'm this close to renting the entire seasons of Friends without him reminding me that I have yet to watch any.

The star of course is Zac Efron and he was hilarious. Aside from that I really appreciated the effort in making the characters complex and how everything was brought tightly together, instead of being left to chance. The parodies of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings were epic. Despite being a tad predictable at parts, I laughed harder and louder during this movie than I did the previous 2.

A great way to start the holidays.
