Leap Year

 

I'm so behind on my movie reviews!  I really need to get caught up.  And here we have our first joint review.

Dallas: I overall didn't like it. It had some cute parts that made me chuckle. I thought the end was the cutest part. It felt like it was kind of dragging, and I was just waiting for something to happen.

Brenda: I felt about the same as Dallas.  I kept wondering when it would get good.  There was some pretty scenery, but it just wasn't good enough to make up for the lack of story.  Also, there were a lot of romance movie cliches.  Like some old person telling the fake romantic couple to kiss, and then they do a stupid little peck, and the old person says, "no, a real kiss", and then they really kiss and then afterwards they look at each other like they're falling in love.  Yeah, that's been done.  It wasn't horrible, it just wasn't great.  I'd give it a 3 out of 5, or maybe 2 1/2.

17 Again

About a guy whose life didn't quite turn out how he wanted it to and wishes he could go back to high school and change it. He wakes up one day and is seventeen again and gets the chance to rewrite his life.

I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. Jason was doing homework all night, and I felt like renting a movie. I didn't think that Jason would be too sad about missing this one. I remembered someone telling me that they liked this. All I really knew was that Matthew Perry was in it, and I like him. I thought that maybe it would end up being more for teenagers, but it was quite adult. It made me laugh quite a bit. I think even Jason ended up watching a lot of it, and he even laughed a few times. It also pulls at the heart strings. I'd rate it a 4 out of 5.
