Failure to Launch (2006)
Matthew McConaughey is a babe. There should be a law preventing that man from wearing a shirt. At the very least, Failure to Launch is worth watching for recognizing that fact and giving us a nice surfing scene. A very nice surfing scene.
Of course there are more reasons to watch Failure to Launch – the lovely Sarah Jessica Parker, Zooey Deschanel, Kathy Bates, Terry Bradshaw and of course the two other pieces of eye candy we have to drool over, Bradly Cooper and Justin Bartha.
Yes, Failure to Launch is a tad predictable and the addition of the animatronic animals is questionable at best (although I will admit, I like it), but it’s also a lot of fun. Ignore the bad reviews and give it a chance!
Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)
Carrie. Samantha. Charlotte. Miranda. The four fine and fierce females from Sex and the City are back with Sex and the City: The Movie, and it’s about time! I have only been waiting for this since the first whispered rumors that the ladies would be coming to the big screen, but never in my wildest dreams imagined that it would actually happen. Yet here it is – the movie I’d been waiting for. Was it everything I hoped it would be? Definitely!
The addition of Jennifer Hudson was brilliant. I love that girl like I love kittens, and I am a girl that likes her kittens. She fit in perfectly. As always, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristen Davis and Cynthia Nixon were delicious as the big city ladies we love so much.
Sex and the City: The Movie proves it’s possible to take a brilliant tv show and make a movie out of it without making it feel like more of the same or losing anything that made the originator so special. I can’t wait for the sequel.
