Hugh Grant
Very similar to Ritchie's Gangster films.
There will be blood and feathers everywhere!
I was interested in this after seeing the trailer as it looked quite fun. Back to what Guy Ritchie does best after various recent efforts with Aladdin and King Arthur. If you are a fan of @Snatch (2001) and @Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1999) then this is a film you will enjoy. With a great mixed cast, including a fun turn by Hugh Grant. A mix of oddball characters, plenty of funny moments, sharp witty dialogue along with some twists and turns in the plot. This has the same receipe for success as those earlier films. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would and left the cinema with a smile. Catch it while you can.

Great dialogue
Very funny
A very good, funny and witty coming of age comedy as a young girl comes to terms with falling pregnant. It has some sharp dialogue and Ellen Page is good as the smart ass kid that always has a sarcastic remark at the ready. You'll like it depending on your sense of humour but it has a good strong cast too.

The concept for The Meowmorphosis was great and it sounded witty and funny. However, it was incredibly dull and dry and put me to sleep several times. I don't know if this is because of the original book--I've never read The Metamorphosis. Maybe it would have been funnier or more interesting to a die-hard Kafka fan. However I couldn't get past page 80.

This book is witty, funny, sad, entertaining, and I truly loved every page. I have always loved Amy Poehler, but this book brought so many things about her to light that made me love her even more. She gives advice, she tells embarrassing stories, and she allows the reader to relate to her on personal levels. One of my favorite books I’ve ever read.

Robyn Peterman knows how to write a witty, sassy, hilarious with the right amount of sexiness story!
Hank 'The Tank' is one sexy alpha. Essie is beautiful and sassy.
Put them together with her best friend Dwayne (a gay Vampyre), Granny, a few Tina's, and some dragons and you have one laugh out loud story!
Looking forward to the next book in this series.

Aug 30, 2018 (Updated Aug 31, 2018)
Hmm a bit of a mish, mash of a film, that doesn't seem to know its own identity. Is it a horror, comedy, B-movie or teenage drama. Well a tiny bit of all of that, without excelling in any one area. It's ok not overly funny, scary, gory or witty. It has some good one liners and effects but it could have been a lot better.

I really enjoyed this book and read it in a very short space of time. It was interesting hearing the minutiae of how he performed his heists.
He was very woman obsessed though. It reads very 60's sexist but otherwise a fun read!
