Big Fat Liar (2002)

88 mins     Comedy, Family      

For about the first half hour "Big Fat Liar" felt like someone had decided to turn "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" into a promotional piece for Universal Studios. And then it happens and it is no spoiler to say what I am about to ...

Just Married (2003)

95 mins     Comedy, Romance      

It really doesn't say much about the a when the most memorable thing is the incidental music. Sadly that is the case with "Just Married" a movie billed as a light hearted romantic comedy, which out of those three things which...

Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)

98 mins     Comedy, Family      

Whilst I have seen the 1950 version of "Cheaper by the Dozen" I've not read the novel on which it is based but I can come to two conclusions about the 2003 movie called "Cheaper by the Dozen", it is neither a remake nor an ad...

As movies go there is nothing special about "Date Night" as it basically mixes humour with action. The set up of a married couple who are so stuck in a routine that even there date nights are routine is amusing but not exactl...

Real Steel (2011)

127 mins     Drama, Sci-Fi, Sport      

I've heard "Real Steel" described as Sylvester Stallone's "Rocky" combined with "Transformers" but there is another element, another Stallone element because it also has the father son bonding storyline from "Over the Top". O...

The Internship (2013)

119 mins     Comedy      

Let me just say now that "The Internship" is quite amusing if you happen to make a living on line, listening to some of the things which are mentioned, from contextual advertising to a helpdesk all brought a smile to my face....

98 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Family
