Movie Night: Dude, Where's My Car?



Review #366: Dude, Where's My Car?

Cast
Ashton Kutcher (Jesse), Seann William Scott (Chester), Jennifer Garner (Wanda), Marla Sokoloff (Wilma), Kristy Swanson (Christie), David Herman (Nelson), and Hal Sparks (Zoltan) Directed by Danny Leiner.

Review
This movie feels like it was made on a whim, made with sub plots held together by a very loose string made (obviously) in the turn of the millennium, and because of that, this film is deeply rooted in the 2000's, nothing more, but is there any hope for this film? Maybe if you were really, really, really bored or needed 100 minutes to waste, sure. Kutcher and Scott are strangely a decent duo, only because they match in annoyance, oddly enough they remind me of a 2000's like version of Bill and Ted, which is either sickening or just sad. The jokes are hit and miss and sometimes annoying to the point where I just yell "Get to the point", which changed from a playful annoyance to an irritated yell which thankfully did not make me want to throw my hockey puck. The story is strung up easily but it feels like the jokes are the only thing making the movie last longer, which is what most would call "padding", which gets old. There's no point in judging the acting because there's not much point, but at least some comedies try to be a bit subtle, but oh well. The movie isn't "North" bad, it's around the level of "Happy Gilmore" level.

Overall, I give it 5 out of 10 stars.

Movie Night: Hot Shots!

Review #028: Hot Shots!

Cast
Charlie Sheen (LT Sean "Topper" Harley), Cary Elwes (LT Kent Gregory), Valeria Golino (Ramada Thompson), Lloyd Bridges (RADM Thomas "Tug" Benson), Kevin Dunn (LCDR James Block), Jon Cryer (LT Jim "Wash Out" Pfaffenbach), William O'Leary (LT Pete "Dead Meat" Thompson), Kristy Swanson (Kowalski), Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. (Wilson), Bill Irwin (Leland "Buzz" Harley), and Ryan Stiles (Dominic "Mailman" Farnum) Directed by Jim Abrahams.

Review
This spoof of Top Gun might actually be better then Top Gun, with some good gags that might remind you of another spoof, Airplane! (That also had Lloyd Bridges) Anyway, the film is decent with performances, especially Sheen and Elwes. The film is decent enough to become good, making this a film to watch. While it may not be great-great, it at least is useful.

Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
