MSMC #4: Grown Ups


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! 



Plot Summary:
Thirty years after graduating from high school, five former basketball teammates gather at the lake house where they celebrated their biggest victory to mourn the passing of their late coach. Over the course of the Fourth of July weekend, the five friends realize that just because they've all grown up and started families doesn't mean that they've lost that old spark. Adulthood is what you make of it, and no one at the lake house is eager to be the grown-up of the gang.

Release Date: June 25, 2010
DVD Release: November 9, 2010

Cast:

Favorite Scenes:
-The tree rope.
-Fixing the car.
-The water park.
-The arrow in the foot.
-The basketball game & fireworks.

My Thoughts:
I don't know why I never watched this movie. Everybody was talking about it when it came out, I heard it was good and hilarious and all these wonderful things. Now I finally see why... If you haven't watched this movie yet, you need too.

I thought it was going to be mostly all jokes, but it wasn't. It's actually a really good family movie. And you know those parts in movies when you want certain characters to be better or ahead of others, so bad stuff happens to them and then you feel horrible. Stuff like that never happened. And I loved it, because it really kept it an all around good movie. I was happy the entire movie, there were several laugh out loud moments, but mostly just happy.

I guess I was in need of this movie, because I honestly can't find anything wrong with it. I loved all the family things all of them did, especially because they showed how a lot of kids are now days. All consumed by cell phones, iPod's and video games. It was nice to see good ole fashioned outside family fun. It's making me want to take my kid out and have some real fun.

I really loved all the jokes they made towards each other. They were really good jokes. The ones that you would say "Ooooooooo" to, but nobody ever really got offended and that really kept the movie light and didn't cause any conflict.

So, the question I always ask 
in my Must See Movie posts...
Was it epic?! I'd say YES!

If you haven't seen it, you must
go borrow/buy/rent it soon!
I really think it's a movie that
the whole family will enjoy!

Have you seen it? What'd you think?

Movie Review: What To Expect When You're Expecting


"It's too late to pull out now."


Cast:

Plot Summary:
A look at love through the eyes of five interconnected couples experiencing the thrills and surprises of having a baby, and ultimately coming to understand the universal truth that no matter what you plan for, life doesn't always deliver what's expected.


Releases:
Theaters: May 18, 2012
DVD: September 11, 2012

Favorite Scenes:
-Wendy's speech.
-The father - son competition.
-The golf cart part at the baby shower.
-The karaoke at the other baby shower.
-Everybody's experience in the hospital.
-The daddy's group.

What I Thought:
I hadn't heard a whole lot about this movie. I'm not even sure I ever saw commercials for it. I know I watched the trailer once online, but other than that, I was just diving right in and hoping for the best. And I'd have to say it was pretty good.

I was thinking it would be more of a comedy, though there were funny parts, it was definitely more of a chick flick. I could see pregnant couples watching this movie together, but I think it'd be more for the woman. I really like these kinds of movies, where they have several different couples all in the same situation, but with very different lives. I think it really brings something to the table seeing all those different outlooks.

I thought the adoption ceremony was very touching. I almost wanted to cry, almost... I hardly ever cry at movies, so that says a lot. And the part where everybody gives birth, I thought it was very sweet and funny at times. I'd definitely recommend this movie to mothers, but I don't know that younger non-mother woman would really care about it. I suppose they might enjoy it, but they probably wouldn't understand most of it. It's really all about being pregnant, starting and having a family and preparing.

So if you're a mother:
I say WATCH IT!

If you're not a mother:
I say GIVE IT A TRY!

Why not?! At the very least
it's a really good, meaningful movie.

Hope you enjoy this one guys!
