How would you know this wouldn't be good? There is no way to know because I can admit it this movie DOES have a good cast! The problem is I have NO idea why they choose to be in this movie!
First off I thought Reese Witherspoon had gained some more momentum and was going to take on some more interesting roles - for example Water for Elephants, Walk the Line, etc. I mean I admit it I enjoyed Legally Blonde and what now but two of those was enough of that character we need not bring a similar blonde bimbo back!
Could it still have been good? Possibly but.... it wasn't! While I enjoy Owen Wilson, Paul Rudd, and Jack Nicholson I was not impressed with any of them. This script has left a LOT to be desired! So with all the great movies out there don't waste your time!

I CANNOT STATE THIS ENOUGH!
THIS. MOVIE. WAS. AWFUL. AND. SHOULD. NEVER. HAVE. BEEN. MADE!
A W F U L
I was expecting some crude humor but honestly this was so awful it was upsetting. I didn't have much of an interest in it but had my husband warned me (as he should have) what he had heard about it there is NO WAY I would have seen it. I blame this on him.
My car broke down so I had my mothers and needed to do something before picking her up from work - so it was this or Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I thought Wimpy Kid would be embarrassing to see but now that I have seen Your Highness I am beyond embarrassed that I watched THAT! It was the first movie I have ever seen where 20 minutes in I wanted to see if I could get my money back. UGH! Honestly I wish I had left whether I got my money back or not.
TRUST ME! DON'T BOTHER!

So okay you would think Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, and Milla Jovavich that a movie would be good, right? NOPE! Wrong! It's a weird weird random movie with odd religious undertones.
I have to admit that Edward Norton's character "Stone" was mildly entertaining but there were far too many completely illogical moments that made the movie just plain odd.
I wanted to like it but I just didn't at ALL!
So save your time and DON'T watch this movie... if you do watch it - don't say I didn't warn you....

Ok so I had been thinking about watching this for awhile because I saw it at Redbox and well I have seen SO many movies that sooner or later I have to watch ones I have never heard of.... but I always decided not to watch it. My father in law told us this movie was SO intense and we had to watch it.
Needless to say we totally disagreed. It was a really slow movie and while the main actress was good it wasn't enough to make me like the movie. It was a pretty boring plot that was really drawn out. I am pretty positive I could have made that movie a heck of a lot better than it was. I was severely disappointed given my father in law hyped it up so much.
Oh well. If you choose to watch it - you have been warned....

A few spoilers (but they give away most of this in the trailer anyways!)....
Ok so I knew going into this that this was a bout a lesbian couple that used a sperm donor to have kids and then they meet him and blah blah blah.
However I was not prepared for all of the sexual content. There were a variety of sex scenes, sexual conversations, etc. FAR too much in my opinion. Then the one woman sleeps with the sperm donor guy and that is all sorts of awkwardness in the movie.
I found that the movie had way more to do with sex then it did with the kids and meeting their "father" and what not. Naming the movie "The sex is alright" would have been more appropriate. So personally I am pretty open about movies and honestly not overly picky but I seriously suggest you skip this one. If you choose to watch it please realize - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

O.K. so I have thought of watching this movie tons of times. It was on instant in the Netflix choices. Needless to say there was a REASON I chose not to watch it all those times.... because deep down I knew it was gonna stink!
First off - the description of the movie was far more interesting then the movie itself. To put it plainly there is a pretty eventful scene at the beginning that basically starts the whole story line. However, after that it is pretty dull. At the very end of the movie it perks up but all in all it is a very slow, rather depressing movie. It's one of those no one wins kind of endings which in my opinion are just maddening!
So save yourself the depression and annoyance and don't bother there are a TON of other movies that would be better choices....

Ok first off I really liked the original so I had some expectations - which I admit is not the brightest when it comes to sequels because more often than not - they suck. Well this movie is a clear example of a downright crappy sequel! There is one character that was from the first movie who is played by another actress who (in my opinion) looks nothing like the other actress. So that was dumb to begin with.... There is also a part that is supposed to be one of the other actors from the last movie (Josh Hartnet) and it clearly looks NOTHING like him.
All that crap aside - it was so B movie horrible that it was down right pathetic. It was a gore fest which I am never a fan of and it's not because I am a squeamish chick I can handle some grossness in a movie. However, when it seems like they are using the blood and guts so that people will think the movie is great... well - that just doesn't do it for me. It's stupid. I prefer less gore and a better story line. Mind you the first one was bloody but - ya know - it IS a vampire movie! What do you expect? This one was just stupid gore and closeups of bowls of blood. Dumb. I myself prefer the Blade Trilogy to these movies. In that case the third movie was the best one!
So to get down to it simply - it sucked - and that is not a funny vampire pun ! It really was HORRIBLE! So DON'T BOTHER!!!
If you do decide to watch it....prepare for a whole lotta CRAP....

Ok so this movie is pretty much useless. It's full of family fighting and awkward moments - i.e. the dad's lover is a gay little person who wants the family's money. Mind you there are amusing aspects - such as James Marsden's character high out of his mind on some drug he didn't know he took (he thought it was something else). THAT was pretty hilarious throughout the movie. All in all it is full of Chris Rock type humor. So I mean it is basically a pointless comedy with awkward aspects and plenty of language. If that's your thing I guess you should watch it ;) To each their own...
Hope you enjoy if you do decide to watch it but don't expect too much LOL

This movie has a decent cast. I read that it was one of Kristen Stewart's top 10 movies so I Netflixed it! Big mistake - in retrospect I don't even think it had much of a plot. Also Kristen Stewart was in literally 5 minutes of the movie. So whoever wrote that article was a moron.
Anyways don't bother I am not all that picky and it bored the crap out of me! It was not even worth 50 cents!

Some spoilers but seriously it doesn't matter - the movie was awful!
Ok so if you are looking for an incredibly cheesy, corny mess of a movie and feel like you want to completely waste your time - then watch this! Otherwise seriously - don't bother!
This was filled with incredbily predictable plot sequences and incredibly HORRIBLE effects. I mean honestly Teen Wolf with Michael J. Fox that was made in the stinking 80's probably had better effects! Sad sad sad..... I found myself asking "Why am I watching this?" Then I remembered! My husband wanted to ;) For those of you who think I am a wimpy female who can't take the guts and gore of horror movies (if that's what you want to call this) then think again! I am a big fan of sci-fi, some horror, etc. (Notably the Alien series and Predator - look for my review on Predators this weekend!)
My husband thought it sucked too!
Sooooo all in all - Rotten Tomatoes (movie review site) had it right this time folks - ROTTEN ROTTEN movie! They gave it a 33% I'd give it a 10%....... Please PLEASE don't bother! Hanging out with Mr. Miyagi trying to catch a fly with chop sticks would be a better way to spend your time!

This SERIOUSLY is one of the most depressing movies I have ever seen in my life. I highly recommend you to NOT I repeat NOT watch this movie! It is an insanely depressing outlook on marriage relationships you will leave the movie nothing but depressed! (even if I wanted to be depressed I would not choose to watch this movie!)
Spoilers follow.........
OK so spoiler time - movie in short form! Trust me after reading this you will know why you should NOT watch this! Kate and Leo's characters meet with all these fancy ideas to explore the world, travel, not be 'normal' boring married people... she gets pregnant! Whoops! So of course - no traveling. She stays at home he works a job he hates - three kids down the line they plan to move to Paris and just see how it goes for a year do the whole non-normal thing so they will be happy again.... she's pregnant again - except now she wants to get an abortion (I believe this was in the 50's so not so easy to do then) he is very against that. So they fight - she kisses their friends husband at some point he's miserable she's miserable. He's off at work one day and she sends the kids next door to play and gives herself an abortion. Walks downstairs and then you see a pool of blood at her feet. Next thing you know her husband and kids are at her funeral. The End!
Aren't you happy that you read that so you won't watch the misery!
Personally I am dead set against abortions in every way so that was just something that was horrible to me but even IF that part had not happened it still would have royally sucked!
A book that should have never been written and surely never made into a movie! Depress yourselves Richard Yates - geesh - don't depress all of America!!!

Okay now I know some of you musical lovers out there MAY have loved this movie. I am a musical lover myself and I would never watch it again. I admit it had beautiful cinematography and all such loveliness HOWEVER this alone will not make me enjoy a movie.
The movie was stocked with big name actresses who all sang in their rather trashy get ups (a.k.a. like the Moulin Rouge music video back in the day - Moulin Rouge I suggest you watch!) I realize that the trashy get ups fit with the movie plot, I'm just saying.....they were trashy. None the less I am not the type of person who writes off a movie because of something like that. I just can only handle so much.... a movie with a plot basis of a married film director who pretty much sleeps with every woman he comes in contact with is a bit much. Not only that but he and every woman in the movie (of course) sing about these escapades. Just a bit much for me. Daniel Day Lewis can sing I'll give ya that. Much more impressive than Pierce Brosnan in Mama Mia (Liked that movie too by the way). But I mean that's not saying much it's a musical and he was the main character - one would hope he could sing!!!
The actresses with their sometimes brief moments of lustful, seducing songs were decent I suppose. They could sing I guess but it was all just a bit much.
With that said.... if you would like to see a film about a man and a ton of woman who want to sleep with him and his poor wife who is heart broken by his trashy sleeping around then by all means to each their own. But in case it hasn't been obvious.... I wouldn't waste your time and money (even if it did only cost me $2).

I went out and rented this as soon as it was available through Redbox as I expected it to be rather hilarious. While I am a Michael Cera fan (though Paper Heart was not great) I loved him in Juno - this movie left much to be desired. He had his moments as did the script with some rather funny awkward teen embarrassment type moments. Zach Galifianakas was pretty funny in the movie (though not nearly as hilarious as he was in The Hangover) but he was only in the first 20 minutes or so! Steve Buscemi who I also really like had a rather small part as the father and was not all that amusing.
The trailer left me with the thought that Nick (Michael Cera) was going to be his geeky self but then try to impress this girl by becoming a french man - as in I thought he literally was going to fool her into thinking in he was french and a completely different person! This was not the case. It was more of a he was seeing the french guy in his head. I don't know it was weird.
The whole movie seemed like a bit of an over extreme situation for a guy to impress a girl but maybe I am looking to deep into a comedic movie. Either way I am not the pickiest person in the world and I still say don't bother there are way more amusing movies out there! For instance (although no very PC) The Hangover was pretty darn hilarious! Get that one instead!
