Movie Project Post #7

3 more down:

My Life In Ruins

I liked this cute romantic comedy.  Not a lot of depth, and definitely fluff, but entertaining.

Dinner for Schmucks

Ha ha.  I love Steve Carell.  This movie is actually a remake of the French movie 'The Dinner Game'.  I LOVE the French version, but this one was great too.  Steve Carell has great comedic timing and Paul Rudd is good in it too.

The Impossible

Oh my.  I don't even really know what to say about this one.  It's based on a true story of a family that was ripped apart (literally) by the tsunami in Thailand in 2004.  I bawled like a baby.  Naomi Watts and Ewen McGregor were both amazing.  Naomi Watts was almost unrecognizable after her injuries....it was so real looking and awful.  And there's a scene with Ewan McGregor that I started crying and then I pretty much cried throughout the rest of the movie.

p.s. - this movie does have a happy ending at least.

My favorite of the 3:  this is a hard one because these movies were so different.  The Impossible was really good, but so heartbreaking and emotional.  And Dinner for Schmucks was hilarious.  So it's a toss up with this batch.

Next up:  I don't know...I don't have my list in front of me and I'm about to go to bed!!
