LaVerne Cox and her friends give women makeovers. A lot of their "makeover" girls are women suffering from problems with self esteem. Some girls are insecure about their burn scars, weight, etc. LaVerne builds them up to feel beautiful! She works on their self esteem while making them feel beautiful on the outside! LaVerne tells the girls that they are beautiful and she points out their positive features. When the girls cry, she comforts them. She turns these girls into confident ladies while giving them a new wardrobe and making them be the best they can be. I relate to this show as someone who has struggled with my own self esteem. Nina Poon stars as LaVerne's assistant. As well as a friendly and cute redhead. (I can't remember her name. Is it Jamie?) You can't even tell that these girls are transgender! They are three beautiful women, physically and mentally!

A beautiful, inspiring show!

LaVerne Cox is a wonderful human being!

My fiancé dragged me to this flick.

I could never get the appeal of the chipmunks. They're three annoying little critters with ridiculously high pitched voices.

In this particular flick, Alvin's human "father" Dave has to go into the hospital. (I won't reveal the reason why in case you do want to still see the film.)

Alvin and his two equally irritating brothers are shipped off to stay with Aunt Jackie, a kind old woman.

Well, an accident happens and they're stuck with Toby instead, the bumbling, incompetent nephew of poor Aunt Jackie.

So in come the "Chipettes", a trio of female chipmunks who have big dreams of becoming famous. Brittany is the squeaky voiced leader. Equally annoying as Alvin and a bit of a diva. Jeanette is the intelligent, reasonable one and is the obvious counterpart to Simon. Eleanor is the plump, pigtailed one and the least annoying of the bunch.

Once they come in, Ian, Alvin's former manager, also arrives back in the picture, eager to sign them up to his record label.

Ian, the diabolical over-the-top antagonist who is just so outrageously Machiavellian and money-hungry. It's so obvious of his intentions. David Cross is a great actor. But this crappy movie doesn't do him justice as it renders his character into a one dimensional stereotypical villain.

Well, the Chipettes and the Chipmunks both wind up going to high school and entering the social hierachy. Predictably, Alvin is extremely popular among the female students.

Then comes in a sub-plot about a new school singing contest in which Alvin and his brothers go up against their female squeaking counterparts.

It's so ridiculously cliché.

You know from the get-go what's going to happen.

Every character is so one-dimensional. Every character is portrayed with one mere personality trait that's dwelled on throughout the entire film.

Example: Alvin's the "star". Hubris for him. Brittany's the diva. Jeanette's the logical voice of reason. Stereotypically, they give her over-sized eyeglasses and make her ectormophic. Theodore's the "cute" snuggly one. Make him adorable but do nothing else to the character. Eleanor's the insecure one. Well, make her short and kowtowing to the screen's antagonist and caving into his demands to wear high heels! Toby's the bumbling moron. Ian's the archetypal villain.....Etc, etc.

Do we have to have these points shoved down our throats? We get it! We understand who is the brainy one and who is the dumb one!

Also, it's just not a funny nor cute film.

Toby's flatulence is not funny. Alvin's moronic one-liners are not funny. "Toot my own horn! BEEEP! BEEEP! BEEEEEEEP!"

The Chipettes are annoying and you just want to squash them! Watch them butcher Beyonce's hit song "Single Ladies". That will leave a sour taste in your mouth!

Notice that none of them have original songs. They have to take our generation's songs and kill them.

Plus, the CGI in the film is terrible.

If I could give this a zero, I would!

When I see a movie, I usually seek entertainment. But of course if I know what genre the move is, then I will seek what it is meant to do. For example, if it is a deep film, I expect the film to rile thoughts up in my cranium and make me ponder what it is saying. But Who's That Girl? is not a deep film. But it is entertaining, nonetheless. It's a campy sort of film that's a joy to watch. There's barely a boring moment in the film and there are plenty of humorous parts. I've watched it when I was younger. The cast is always entertaining as usual. I had a small crush on Griffin Dunne even though he wasn't the typical male heartthrob at the time. Haviland Morris also stars. And late Austrian actress Bibi Besch is here too! Overall, a delight!

I walked into the theater hoping I would get some good laughs. I went with my friend who worships Larry's humor. I left the theater disappointed. This movie is filled with the same joke over and over again. Basically overdone toilet humor. I have nothing against the humor, it's just the same jokes repeated over and over again. Nothing new or inventive here. Larry's humor was not creative. Just diarrhea jokes over and over throughout the whole entire movie! And that was the whole running gimmick! It became rather boring. This is a simple film which had the potential to be funny but destroyed it with horrible acting and boring humor.

Dracula 2000 is a modern day vampire story. It begins with a gaggle of thieves who break into a high security safe and steal a silver coffin which they believe holds the goods that they are looking for. However, this coffin contains the body of Dracula and hell breaks loose. This movie had the potential to be a good film, but the plot ends up getting fuzzy and transformed into a really awkward story. The cast is decent. The only problem I see with the casting is that of Colleen Fitzpatrick a.k.a "Vitamin C". She is simply not a good actress. She is a real bore on screen. She just did not help this film. It appears her fifteen minutes of fame are up. Overall, this film is lacking. For a real vampire film, Go watch Bram Stoker's Dracula instead.

When I went into Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, I was expecting a decent film. Having read the books, I was ready to see how the film was. Well, Lena's story was screwed up completely. I was highly disappointed in that. Tibby's story remained true for the most part. Amber Tamblyn did a wonderful job and she is a very talented actress. She lightened up this film. America Ferrerra is an awesome actress too, but I don't think she was made to be Carmen. When she played her, She came off as mean and sort of temperamental. Blake Lively is a interesting newcomer. She did a well job of portraying Bridget. I was disappointed to see the portrayal of Carmen though. In the book, She was far more likable. In the movie, She's loud and rash and very annoying. Basically, the book is much better.

Up until now, I have never seen a horror movie that I didn't like. This movie was just awful, awful, awful! The filming is so blurry that you can hardly see what's going on! The sound is fuzzy. The gore is cheap and you can't feel any sympathy for the victims because how stupid they were scripted. I'm sure the director has potential! He must show it. This film does not capture the genius of Mr. Schnaas. This film is also extremely low budget. Although the actors were particularly talented especially the very handsome Mr. Schnaas as the killer Karl, They could not save this movie. Even the castration scene was boring. Mr. Schnaas, Make us a better film!

I wanted to like this show, I really did. I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. But what do I get? Cheap, silly, childish gimmicks! The gist of this show is "Waaaaaaaah! I'm fat! Waaaah! Laugh at me! Giggle at my plight and tears!" All throughout this show: Kirstie keeps bemoaning herself. During a scene at the office, A song called "Bubble Butt Fatso" plays. How childish and infantile! This whole "fatso" schtick belongs in the same category as your kindergarten "poopy pants" routine! I was utterly disappointed with Miss Alley. Such a beautiful and talented woman but created such an atrocious and un-funny show. Do not watch this program. It is a waste of air time.

Don't bother watching this show. It is incredibly repulsive. Maury finds the scum of the earth and parades them on this show. Subjects like "Who's my baby's daddy" and "Is it a man or a woman?" run rampantly. The problem is they are the same topics over and over again! This program is pointless, vapid, and insipid. Incredibly annoying and not to be given a chance. The Maury show is completely boring and lacks any chance of intellect or intelligent thought. Like I tell you: Avoid at all costs! It is possibly the worst show ever. Maury's preaching does not do any wonders for it either.
