Nights in Rodanthe (2008)
Stunk
I like all different types of movies, so this is not a bash on romantic movies from a guy who only likes The Matrix etc etc.
I just felt it was a lousy movie. I don't feel that there was enough buildup of the characters to fall in love. They were there for a few days and while dealing with a severe hurricane and major issues in each of their lives, Richard Gere and Diane Lane fall hopelessly and helplessly in love?? It isn't realistic. This movie didn't make me buy into it and feel it emotionally and that is something that you look for in a good plot. Some emotional connection. If someone can relate to them falling in love that quickly, without any true substance , than so be it. You are neither right or wrong. Different strokes for different folks.
Another very unbelievable component to the movie was Diane Lane's very rude teenage daughter becoming nice and sympathetic at the end of the movie. Does a teenage girl who is that miserable and aggravated at her mother for not getting back with her cheating husband going to just have a switch turn on and be nice? This movie, in a nutshell, had some big names, but to me, was a major disappointment.
Hot Rod (2007)
Bad Movie
One of the worst movies I have ever seen. I expected much better as I feel Andy Samberg is a funny guy from what I have seen of him thus far on SNL. Went to see it last night, all by myself, as I couldn't even get someone to make the trek to see it with me. What was funny about it? I love all different types of movies and love slap stick humor as well so not one of those people who shoots down comedy movies. It just plain out stunk and I can't believe people give it good reviews. It makes me think I should never trust a critic ever again. Terrible. I watched Problem Child 2 with John Ritter the other day on one of the various HBO's and even that was better than this. And that could be one of the top 5 all time worst movies ever. Please, again tell me what was funny about this movie?? I giggled maybe once the whole time.
