Movies starring Russell Brand

Penelope (2006)

104 mins     Comedy, Fantasy, Romance      

"Penelope", a modern fairytale charmed and frustrated me equally, it delighted and annoyed but the overall feeling is that I'm glad I watched it. To elaborate, "Penelope" is not the most original of movies, a romantic fairyta...

St. Trinian's (2007)

100 mins     Comedy      

To be blunt when I heard that they were making a new "St. Trinian's" movie I honestly thought what was the point as not only was the style of humour something from a bygone era but when they tried it back in 1980 with "The Wi...

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

111 mins     Comedy      

Here is the thing, Judd Apatow has certainly breathed life into the romantic comedy genre, he's made them edgy and funny, not afraid of making a sex comedy which is risque. And as such I absolutely love what he did with the "...

Bedtime Stories (2008)

99 mins     Comedy, Family, Fantasy      

Two things amused me about "Bedtime Stories"; firstly the number of well known stars who appear in what is essentially and Adam Sandler movie and secondly the only difference between this and a regular Adam Sandler movie is t...

Get Him to the Greek (2010)

109 mins     Comedy      

Watching "Get Him to the Greek" reminds me of when I watch an Adam Sandler movie I raved about on release, it's not that good. I suppose what I mean is that it is an age thing because the days when I thought Adam Sandler movi...

Despicable Me (2010)

95 mins     Animation, Comedy, Crime      

"Despicable Me" is certainly fun and in many ways I can see why it is so popular but for some reason it just didn't amuse me in the same way as some other modern animations have. I think the reason why is that whilst fun for ...

Hop (2011)

95 mins     Animation, Comedy, Family      

Now the needless spoiler is not my only issue with "Hop" because what we have here is a Christmas movie but one with Father Christmas switched with the Easter Bunny and of course with it being set at Easter. In fairness I don...

Arthur (2011)

110 mins     Comedy, Romance      

Despite accepting that remakes are a way of life it doesn't stop me from occasionally getting annoyed when they announce another remake of a movie from my childhood. And I have to admit that when they announced they were goin...

Rock of Ages (2012)

123 mins     Comedy, Drama, Musical      

Movie Review - Rock of Ages (2012) Julianne Hough stars as Sherrie, the small town girl living in a lonely world when she heads to Hollywood only to end up first waiting tables in a bar then a dancer at a gentleman's club...

Despicable Me 2 (2013)

98 mins     Animation, Comedy, Family      

My review of "Despicable Me" basically started with me saying that whilst fun and I could see why it was popular it didn't entertain me as much as it did others. Well I suppose there is something to be said for consistency as...
