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!!
