Date Night

Andrew: I thought this movie seemed decent from the previews. I love the lead actors. I was really surprised at how well they played a married couple. The comedy is really over the top and the plot is completely unrealistic. If you can get past that I would recommend this movie to almost anyone.
6/10

Zeb: So I heard from a lot of people that this movie was disappointing and they felt as if the directors didn't really let Steve Carell and Tina Fey shine. I have to say that I disagree. I really enjoyed this movie! I thought that Carell and Fey did an excellent job. The ending was a little corny, but still cute. I think it was a pretty honest movie with how a couple actually ends up being! I would say definitely give it a shot.

Scott Pilgrim v.s. The World

Andrew- Scott Pilgrim is a movie based on a comic book with heavy influences from video games. I'm preeeeetty sure I'm their target audience. The movie was extremely quirky in their action and comedy. It was one of the most fun movies I have seen in a long time. The basis is Scott Pilgrim likes a girl and must defeat her ex's if he wants to date her. One funny aspect is two of the ex's (Chris Evans and Brandon Routh) have played major comic book heroes in their own movies. Forewarning: This is not a movie for everyone.
8/10

Zeb: I actually loved this movie! I don't think I was necessarily their target audience, but I thought it really was good. Every one of the evil ex's that he has to fight is done in a different way, which I was thankful for. It was a very creative movie (well book I guess, since that's what it's based off of). The entire movie runs like a video game which made it fun and entertaining. I think that it was just a fun flick and I can't wait to see it again!!

Roswell Continued...

Andrew: I didn't really watch the other seasons, so I feel like I shouldn't give an opinion on the matter.

Zeb: So I just finished Roswell seasons 2 and 3, and I am definitely bummed that the show ended. The second season starts off with such promise, but does loose a little focus about halfway through. I think this was due to the fact that they were worried about being canceled and so they tried to fit every story line possible into the second half of the season. The problem with that is, they didn't finish half of them. I really did enjoy the finale of season 2 where there was a twist that I didn't call. This season also has one of my favorite episodes, the one where Max from the future visits Liz and tells her to make him fall out of love with her. I thought it was done well, and it was intriguing/sad/funny all at the same time.
Moving on to season 3...this season aired on the Sci-Fi network and therefor was much more "sci-fi-ey." Yes some of it was still corny since it's still 2003 and they changed networks, but it is light years better than the effects in season 1! I liked season 3 on the whole except I could have done without Izzy's main storyline, it was just too random for me. The finale was really good, and I am now bummed because I have to find a new show to watch.

Dinner For Schmucks

Andrew: I was excited for the movie simply because I loved the actors: Paul Rudd, Steve Carrell, ect. I was actually pleasently suprised with the movie. It had a very heartfelt story along with some pretty funny moments. I don't suffer from viewers anxiety; however, some people will really struggle with this movie at times. It does have a good mix of comedy. I felt like there was something for everyone. I was a big fun of Kieran played by one of the leads in Flight of the Concords. The comedy is somewhat slap-stick and is not for everyone. Overall, I would still recommend trying this movie.

6/10

Zeb: I was really excited for this movie; it looked really funny based on the previews. I was a little surprised however by the movie. First of all most of the movie is about the events that happen leading up to the actual "dinner for schmucks," and not the dinner itself (misleading much?!). Also if you have any sort of viewers anxiety (like me!) be forewarned that parts of this movie are REALLY tough to watch. It was almost a Meet the Parents flashback of uncomfortable-ness. The movie though did have some really great parts and I was thoroughly surprised that I enjoyed the plot of the movie, considering I didn't really think there would be one. Steve Carrell did a fantastic job and was even funnier than I thought he would be. Paul Rudd let me down a little, but more so just because the character he played didn't really give him good funny moments. I have to say on the whole I enjoyed the movie, but for me I think it was a one time see.
6/10

How I Met Your Mother

Andrew:  Recently, Zeb and I have gone trough the entire series of How I Met Your Mother because while moving we didn't have internet or cable for almost a week. We just turned it on while unpacking and such. I was very skeptical going into this show when we started a few years ago. I saw one episode in the middle of season one when it first aired and didn't really like it. Now it may be might be my third or fourth favorite comedy of all time. The plot centers around a father telling his kids how he met their mother and the entire show is one big flashback. The characters are all really funny. Initially, the guys are completely the center of the comedy with support from the women. Later, the women step up and become much funnier particularly Robin. Think of it as a Friends for my generation. To me, the only reason I don't give it a 10/10 is because I reserve that for my favorite show/movie of a given category.
9/10

Zeb: I love this show! It's in my top 5 favorite comedy TV shows. It is such a great ensemble cast; it's hard to pick a favorite character since everyone has some wonderful moments. Season 2 is by far my favorite with episodes like Swarley, Slap Bet, and Stuff. I love how they carry on jokes from one season to the next like "Let's Go to the Mall" comes up again and again! The only thing that is getting a little annoying now that the show is about to start its sixth season, is that you still have not met the mom! I think that we need to see her to know who she is, but not necessarily "meet" her, so the show can continue. I am still excited for the season to start!
9/10

Clash of the Titans

Andrew: I really couldn't be more disappointed in this movie. I really think there were about 5 lines of meaningful dialog. I might have enjoyed this movie when I was 10 and only cared about the action. There were one or two funny references to the original movie, but that may have been the best part of the movie. It really is sad because I was really excited to see this movie. The story just jumps from one location to the next and there really are no transitions. I understand that it is a reference to how most Greek epics were told, but that doesn't mean it's a good way to tell a story. DO NOT SEE THIS! Save yourself the two hours and go see something with some substance to it.
 3/10

Zeb: Well this was an Andrew pick to watch, but I was curious how it was going to be. I have to say I really was not that impressed. The plot was kind of confusing; there seemed to be no real tie between the events. The CGI and action parts were pretty good, but the story was slow and quite boring. The ending was kind of a let down and seemed anti-climatic. I have no idea how it compares to the original since I have never seen it (I know shocking right:?!?) I would have to say don't waste your time with it, it's not really worth seeing.
3/10

Hot Tub Time Machine

Andrew: I had very low expectations for this movie. I went in expecting it to be terrible despite hearing good reviews from others. It was really pretty good. It wasn't nearly as good as the Hangover to which it is often compared. Rob Corddry and Craig Robinson are very funny. Overall, its worth seeing but be warned it can be pretty raunchy.
5/10

Zeb: We watched Hot Tub Time Machine after moving and I have to say I was thoroughly surprised by it. The previews made the movie seem quite corny bordering on lame, but I heard good things about it so we gave it a try. I thought there were some really funny moments in the movie and some great one liners. Since they go back in time to the 80's there are some great songs that I couldn't help but sing along to. The only person that kind of drove me nuts in the movie was actually Chevy Chase (although I don't really know why). I feel like he just might need to be done. He is alright in the show Community, but I feel as though I could still do without him. There were a few moments in the movie that I could have done without, like anything with vomit -that is just too much for me and not funny at all. I thought the movie on the whole wasn't bad, but a lot of people compared it to the hangover. Just to be clear it is no hangover, but it has a few good laughs.
