Cedar Rapids (2011)
What a piece of junk
I can't believe all the great reviews for this movie. It was vulgar, tasteless, and most importantly NOT funny. I can't remember the last time it was this painful to sit through a movie. I almost walked out like 10 times.
If you're the kind of person that thinks a lot of "outrageous" swearing is funny then I guess this is your kind of movie. If you think a small town guy from Vermont being afraid of black people is funny, please, go see this garbage. I am not a prude but smoking crack with hookers is not funny!! Neither is adultery. I laughed like twice in the entire film. I'm glad I saw it for free or I would want my money back. This way I just want my 2 hours back.
Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1985)
Awesome 80's dance movie
The main plot is about a girl who loves to dance and auditions for a dance TV show even though her strict military father doesn't approve. Only problem is that Sarah Jessica Parker is cast in this role and she's a TERRIBLE dancer. I think at times they have a body double dancing for her but in the scenes where she is "dancing" she looks like she's having a spasm.
One of the most amazing things about this movie is the wardrobe. I actually think that of all the 1980s movies this one has some of the worst clothes. When I am out in public and see kids under 30 wearing 1980s "fashion", I have this overwhelming urge to reenact that scene from Clockwork Orange by tying them down and forcing them to watch this movie. Hopefully that will cure them from thinking that era of fashion should ever be replicated.
Best line in the movie: "Velcro: it's the best invention since the Walkman and Tab".
