Movies starring Maya Rudolph

50 First Dates (2004)

95 mins     Comedy, Romance      

Following the success of "The Wedding Singer" which gave us the enjoyable pairing of Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, it came as no surprise to me when they paired up again for the "Groundhog Day" style comedy "50 First Dates...

Idiocracy (2006)

84 mins     Comedy      

So wrong but yet so right, "Idiocracy" is like "Weekend at Bernie's" it's not a good movie but it is a guilty pleasure making you laugh with moronic humour which at a certain age you should have grown out of. Yes I liked "Idi...

Away We Go (2009)

98 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

"Away We Go" is a clever movie because it breaches the gap between off-beat and mainstream and does so brilliantly. It is off-beat because we have this soul searching road trip of a couple expecting their first child and lear...

MacGruber (2010)

90 mins     Action , Comedy      

Growing up certain TV shows became regular Saturday night viewing; from "Knight Rider" to "The A-Team" they formed part of my childhood as did the creative "MacGyver". Now I really liked "MacGyver" but looking back I can see ...

Grown Ups (2010)

102 mins     Comedy      

Whilst I love a movie which is original and makes you sit up and pay attention I also love the familiar, the sort of movie which you put on and you know it isn't going to tax you with a storyline which is going to demand your...

Zookeeper (2011)

102 mins     Comedy, Family, Romance      

Despite liking Kevin James I had some extremely bad feelings about "Zookeeper" when I read that we had zoo animals which talk and coach him in the art of how to find love. It sounded like something which was aimed purely at a...

Bridesmaids (2011)

125 mins     Comedy, Romance      

That will teach me, I remembered hearing lots of positive things about "Bridesmaids" when it came out and when I finally got the opportunity to watch it I expected to be entertained and didn't bother reading and reviews. How ...

Friends with Kids (2011)

107 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

I guess 2011 was the year when Hollywood jumped on the no strings attached, friends with benefits idea and gave us romantic comedies about friends who do something normally associated with people in relationships and dealing ...

Turbo (2013)

96 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

Are snails cute and comical? Not in my book, these are those little critters which leave a trail of slime where ever they go and somehow they seem to go everywhere. Not only that the crunch of their shells when you accidental...

Grown Ups 2 (2013)

101 mins     Comedy      

I was quite complimentary about the first "Grown Ups" and I am surprised by how much I still like that movie. Sadly I cannot say the same about the sequel which feels like someone decided to cash in on the popularity of the f...

The Way Way Back (2013)

103 mins     Comedy, Drama      

Have you ever wondered why there are not only so many coming of age movies but they all seem to be highly rated? My theory is because everyone has a memory of their childhood and some even have that one summer they had which ...

Big Hero 6 (2014)

102 mins     Adventure , Animation      

Movie Review - Big Hero 6 (2014) when San Fransokyo suffers a devastating event Hiro turns his friends in to a bunch of high-tech heroes in order to save the day...
