Date Night

☞ Trailer

 I loved this movie. It's not that the plot was really anything special, but the diologue was hilarious and so were the situations the protagonists Claire Foster (Tina Fey) and Phil Foster (Steve Carell) were put in. A lot of pretty well-known actors and actresses had cameos in this film such as Leighton Meester, Mark Wahlberg (who is shirtless in every scene he's in which I've so kindly put a picture below for you), James Franco, Mila Kunis, and Olivia Munn just to mention a few of them.

I first must say that I'm pretty biased towards this movie just because it has Tina Fey in it. Who can blame me since she created one of the best shows on television (30 Rock). I'm going more and more towards her being my favorite actress and this movie made me like her even more. Her character in Date Night is pretty similar to her character in 30 Rock in that she says some really awkward things at times. This is one of the few movies that has actually made me literally laugh at loud because of the comedy. Tina and Steve had good chemistry on-screen which made the movie even more enjoyable.

The bloopers and outtakes on the DVD were just as fun to watch as the actual movie. I laughed at how many times they had to tape the scene where Tina and Steve run into clear glass doors because they needed to time it exactly right. In the extras there are PSAs that feature Tina and Steve promoting a date night. Overall, even though the plot wasn't great, it's easily overlooked because of the humor throughout the movie.

I give it: 9/10

My Girlfriend's Boyfriend

☞ Trailer

This movie was one of the better ones I've seen. It wasn't released in movie theaters but I have no idea why. This is supposedly a romantic comedy, but it wasn't very comedic although I did smile a few times but mostly at the minor character of the gum guy (Tom Lenk). I watched the movie because I saw that actress Alyssa Milano who was on the TV show Charmed was the main character and she hadn't been doing much acting as far as I was aware of. She did a pretty good job acting in the movie so I wasn't disappointed.

I loved the twist of the movie which is evident by the ending. It is a little bit confusing to understand at first, but once you get it it's an "ohhh" moment. Another good thing about the movie is that it's only PG so it's not a romance movie that's all about sex and things like that. They only mention sex maybe once and it's a pretty obscure reference at that. It's nice to see a movie that doesn't rely on the physical aspects of a relationship. Overall it's a cute movie that I recommend mostly because it's different than the other movies of it's type.

I give it: 8/10

Daniel Tosh: Completely Serious

So I watched this because I wanted to see if Daniel Tosh could possibly be funny without the use of internet clips to make comments about. Let's just say that although he isn't that great, he's not completely horrible either. I think I only laughed maybe three or four times throughout the whole 60 minute show, which is pretty sad. Maybe I didn't laugh too much because all his jokes were stupid and perverted in some way which gets really annoying.

He spends half the show saying things that make you ask yourself if he really just said that on tv. At one point he said something about wanting New Orleans to get hit by another hurricane like Katrina which made me almost stop watching. I guess it's supposed to be funny but there are some things that you shouldn't really joke about. And just like on his TV show (Tosh.O) he relies on racist jokes for most of the things he says. Everything relates back to racism in some way for him.

I give it: 6/10
