Scrubs: My No Good Reason (2007) Season 6, Episode 14

Scrubs' emotional moments

[8/10 · 20 October 2007]

Although Scrubs is well known for its witty humor, every once in a while an episode tends to pull at the heart strings. I have to say that some of my favorite Scrubs episodes are not the ones that end with me laughing out loud, but rather on the verge of tears. It's so rare that a TV show of this type can do that and the writers' and actors' abilities to pull off these moments is amazing. This is right up there with the episode when Ben dies as one of the most gut wrenching. The heated debate between Cox and Laverne culminates in a drastically terrible ending and shows that this show is more than a situational comedy, but a show that could be about real people. And that is what keeps me coming back for more.

Are We Done Yet? (2007)

Good for the family

[5/10 · 18 August 2007]

I've never seen Are We There Yet?, and I had no intention of watching this film. I thought as many that the funny parts were in the trailers and that the actors were sub-par. For the most part that is true. There were some surprises in the humor, mostly from John C. McGinley, but it was far from side splitting. Even though it was not a great movie on the whole, it was a great family film. Today, with the exception of Disney, most movies are far from family friendly. Even Dreamwork's cartoons have a great deal of crude humor in them that make most parents cringe when watching them with small children. Are We Done Yet? actually has a lot of great family values that are missing from a lot of movies that have come out recently. The film shows a man who is forced to take care of a family that is not his own and also to prepare for his future children with his new wife. This step-father acts more like a dad should to his teenage step-daughter than most real father's do. Very rarely will you see some one in a film telling a young girl to put on more clothes and yelling at her for sneaking out of the house. If you are looking for something that is more than okay to watch with the kids then this is a movie to check out. Don't expect anything close to award winning, but parents can watch this safely with their kids without wondering if their kids know what the last innuendo meant every couple of minutes.
