It you love British Humor, you have to see this film. If you don’t, you still need to see it. Great comic timing. Although it is from the director of Bowfinger, the film is very british while Bowfinger was decidely american, however they share the same mixture of subtle and over the top comedy that makes a film really enjoyable. Just when you are beginning to recover from a giggle you are taken by an outright knee slapping laugh. Nice ride!

Basically the film is about two brothers who deal with a number of hilarious distractions at their fathers funeral. Everything from his gay lover showing up to a drugged up funeral attendee naked on the roof.

You can wait to DVD if its not playing near you, but please DO SEE THIS FILM!

I am a Queen Latifah fan – there is just something very real and solid about the way she plays all her characters. She has a level of confidence that trancends the screen. Of course Diane Keaton is always a riot. I love her classic head shaking, hand flailing, squealing hysterics. Alway funny. A surprise to me, was Katie Holmes, playing a totally whacked out, but likable bimbo. You cannot help but like her in this film – she is just too cute. Great job on her part and I am personally glad to see her out of the house – Tom is freaky!

Anyway, if you just want to have flat out silly fun and are in a light hearted mood, Mad Money is sweet, simple, clean and friendly.

The basic storyline: A mature couple faces debt and possible financial ruin when after a year of looking for a new job, the husband (Ted Danson) finally admits he just cant find anything and they are now flat broke. His wife (Diane K) takes the reigns, but all she can find that matches her skills is a janitorial job in the Federal reserve bank where she quickly hatches a scheme to rob the place. After noticing they use locks just like the ones you get at any Home Depot on the carts that carry “Worn out” money that is to be shredded, she drags Queen L into the scheme and later entices Katie H as well. From there its a fun romp through the robbing, almost getting caught, more drama… finally getting caught and then … well, you’ll see..

VERY CUTE!

Hank Vandermark knows that marrying the help will get his Father’s long desired attention. Jeffrey Vandermark wants to marry her for the old fashion reason.
Their Mother is determined to see to it that neither of them marries the girl, but their eccentric and slightly crazy Grandmother may just thwart her plans! Everything comes to a head when Hank turns the biggest wedding Beverly Hills has ever seen into a scandal by revealing a terrible secret.
Only their Grandmama can set things right in the end, but will she really be able to fake her own death?

A Romantic Comedy written for a female Latin Lead with two fun strong male counterparts. Great role for an older female comedienne as well. Compare to “Maid In Mahattan” which grossed $154,906,693 million dollars worldwide! Can you afford to ignore the demographic of female viewers who can’t get enough Cinderella Stories? Give them what they want!

Just look at the turn out for Sex & The City! Women love the movies!

Paris When It Sizzles is a horrible film starring two of my favorite actors, Audrey Hepburn & William Holden. It is just playing in the background of my life right now. It really sucks terribly. The movie, not my life.

Did you know that William Holden was in love with Audrey, and she was mad for him – but alas he had himself snipped before he met her – and she wanted children…  so she had to dump his fine behind…  but he remained ever vigiliant in his seeking after her…  even as a married man, she wrote that he would make improper advances any time they were alone…

Poor Bill… snipped himself right out of her life…

Every time i look up – the film is cheesier than the frame before…

How do actors read scripts like this and say “I’ll DO It!”

They must have wanted to work together again most desperately…

interesante…

We saw Disturbia starring Shia LaBeouf. I have never been into younger men, or been one to want to go back in time, but my goodness… Shia is such a cutey!!!! Ahhh to be 18 again…

The movie was fun! and scary… then i scared Carmen during an intense part and she beat me up… Look for Shia to be another Leo… he is not only cute, but he has the “it” factor. I am a fan!

Okay, so it is a total rip off of Rear Window, which is a way better movie, but SHIA… ummm SHIA… nuf said! It is very fun!
