It's A Boy Girl Thing - Movie Review

Director: Nick Hurran
Writer: Geoff Deane
Producer: Steve Hamilton Shaw, David Furnish, Martin Katz
Stars: Samaire Armstrong, Kevin Zegers, Sherry Miller

A movie that that I recently saw was a movie called It's a Boy Girl Thing.  It is a comedy where two neighbours and enemies, Nell and Woody, find themselves trapped in each others bodies. The two must work together to figure out how to get out of this situation and how to live in each others lives.

This movie was a great comedy. Although it could be compared to movies like Freaky Friday, I found that it had its own unique qualities; it was also much funnier. I found myself laughing out loud many times as each of the characters have their own personality with their own sense of humour.

I found that although this movie is obviously not Oscar or Golden Globes material it was surprisingly good. When I chose to watch this film, I was not expecting much from it, just a couple hours of entertainment. I got more than that because it was more than I expected. It was absolutely hilarious and the story was more interesting than I had expected.

This movie is a great romantic comedy and although it would not appeal to all audiences, if it sounds like something you would watch, I can assume it is very likely that you will like it. I would definitely watch this movie again.

My Rating:
6.5/10

After Earth - Movie Review

Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Writers: Gary Whitta (screenplay), M. Night Shyamalan (screenplay), Will Smith (story)
Producer: James Lassiter, Caleeb Pinkett, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith
Stars: Jaden Smith, Will Smith, Sophie Okonedo

A few weeks ago, I watched the movie After Earth. This movie was enjoyable and had an interesting plot. The film was about a father working for the military and his teenage son who crash land on Earth, far into the future. In this time period, Earth is a very dangerous planet, which is not suitable for humans. Kitai, the son, must set out on a journey across Earth to save himself and his father.

The film was action packed and very suspenseful, which meant that it was very captivating. There are many unique creatures in this film and Will and Jaden Smith did a great job with portraying their characters.

I found that I expected more from the film. There was lots of promotion for this movie and the trailer looked very interesting, but after seeing the movie, it was a little less than I had expected. I had expected more because I had expected it to be different. In many ways it was, but in many ways it was similar to lots of other films.

Overall, this movie was fun to watch. I might not watch it many times, but I'm glad I saw it once. I would reccomend it for action lovers. It is not a bad movie, I just expected more. See it once and it will entertain you for a few hours.
