MSMC #5: Paul Blart: Mall Cop


This is just a thing I created for myself as a sort of challenge. There are a lot, and I mean a lot, of movies that people would call "must see movies" that I have not seen. So whenever I watch one of the movies on my must see list I'll do a post on it and tell if it really is a "must see". And hopefully they are all wonderfully epic movies :)

If you have any suggestions on movies I should put on that list, please leave a comment and tell me about it! 



Release Date: Jan 16, 2009
DVD Release Date: May 19, 2009

Plot Summary:
In this comedy starring King of Queens' Kevin James, Paul Blart (James) is a single suburban dad attempting to make ends meet by working as a mall security guard. Paul takes his job very seriously; unfortunately the same can't be said for the shoppers he deals with on a daily basis. That all changes the day that Santa's little helpers shut down the mall and start taking hostages, including Paul's daughter and his main squeeze. Realizing that no one knows the mall better than the man who's paid to guard it, Paul mounts his Segway and speeds to the rescue.

My Thoughts:
I was never a fan of Kevin James, I've seen a few episodes of King of Queens, but it wasn't really that interesting to me. It was funny, but not hilarious. So when this movie came out, I remember not really caring to go see it. And I had forgot about it until recently when I was looking up comedies. Comedies are my favorite genre and I'm running out of things to watch, so I searched on Google: funniest comedies. I believe I found a list for every year, and just went through and made my way back to 2009. And I had just recently went to my friends house for dinner and we were going to watch a movie afterwards, and she asked me if I wanted to watch Paul Blart.... I was like "no, that movies looks dumb!" Oh man, I was so wrong, and I should have just watched it then. 

This movie is truly funny, but it's one of those feel good comedies. Where there's other stuff going on... Like a little romance and in this case, some action and suspense. And you just want it to all work out. Kevin James is hilarious on his Segway in this one. 

And I'm really loving Jayma Mays right now. I love her in Glee and I just think she's a really great actress. I always end up loving her characters, they're so innocent and nice. How can you not like that?! 

Reasons To Watch It:
-It's truly epic.
-Kevin James is hilarious.
-Definitely worth 91 minutes of your time.
-Everything about this movie is awesome.
-I think everyone should watch it at least once.

Movie Review: Wanderlust

"Leave Your Baggage Behind"


Releases:
Initial: October 21, 2011
Wide: February 24, 2012
DVD: June 19, 2012

Cast:
- Paul Rudd
- Jennifer Aniston
- Malin Akerman
- Justin Theroux
- Alan Alda
- Joe Lo Truglio
- Kathryn Hahn
- Ken Marino

Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston star in Wanderlust, a comedy from director David Wain (Role Models) and producer Judd Apatow (Knocked Up) about a couple who leave the pressures of the big city and join a freewheeling community where the only rule is to be yourself. 

George (Rudd) and Linda (Aniston) are an overextended, stressed out Manhattan couple. After George is downsized out of his job, they find themselves with only one option: to move in with George's awful brother in Atlanta. On the way there, George and Linda stumble upon Elysium, an idyllic community populated by colorful characters who embrace a different way of looking at things. Money? It can't buy happiness. Careers? Who needs them? Clothes? Only if you want them. 

Is Elysium the fresh start George and Linda need? Or will the change of perspective cause more problems than it solves?


Favorite Scenes:
-All the mirror talk
-The birth
-The protesting
-Open relationships
-When Linda drank that special tea


My Thoughts:
I thought it was a really good movie. It was really funny and heavy at the same time. Obviously they were in a really serious situation and they did what they thought was best. And it got pretty crazy around there. The people of Elysium live very different than we do. They're vegan and aren't keen on technology. And are into the natural way of life. I thought it was pretty interesting. I would never survive if I lived like that, but whatever makes them happy.

I wasn't really expecting to see all that nudity either, but the awkwardness made for some good scenes. This movie really had everything, I wanted to cry at times. And at other times I cried from laughing so hard. I definitely recommend watching this movie, but not with your kids.

I completely recommend this movie!
Definitely a must see!
