Ross (3284 KP) rated Game Night (2018) in Movies
Nov 19, 2018
Funny, surprising comedy
I wasn't expecting much from this film, probably just 90 minutes of spousal competitiveness and awkward banter between friends. I was pleasantly surprised to find it had a story (quite a complex one for a comedy) and a few proper laugh out loud moments. Far from focusing on the game night instead, that is used more of a background and a link to some of the odder characters involved.
The chemistry between Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams is top-notch and enables most of the humour.
A strong recommendation for a decent funny film with a decent plot.

Charley (64 KP) rated Wyrd Sisters (Discworld, #6; Witches #2) in Books

Well I have always had a soft spot for Terry Pratchett book and his stories about the discworld transport you to this amazing place.
He has a dark sense of humour that you can see throughout his books.
Wyrd sisters is one of my favourites of his Books. This is the first in a series of his books about three witches. It's funny right from the start and the complexity of his characters always amaze me.
If you like a book with good characters, funny jokes and a touch of magic then this is the books for you.

Average action film
Decided to give this a go although surprised at there being another MIB film. It's a fairly fun action film, not a serious film by any means. The scenes in London were quite good but overall the story is rather weak. It's not as funny as the original films and misses the chemistry of those films. On the other hand it's mildly entertaining for a light hearted action film. If you were a big fan of the original films you'll be disappointed though.

It's so funny (2 more)
It uses humour to make light of such an awful situation
It shows the importance of relationships when in such a dangerous situation.
It's only 3 series :( (1 more)
The ending has been left open ended, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!!
A funny take on a serious matter
I like this because it is based on something that people actually do. Even though they make light of the situation they find themselves in, it really helps you understand what people in the Army go through, the danger they are in every day, the sheer bravery and the emotional impact it has on them.

Very funny sequel
Contains spoilers, click to show
So after years of waiting for a sequel to the brilliant original and this year we finally got it and it just about surpasses the original.
All the original stars are back along with new and very funny character madison (played by zoey deutch) who is dumber than a box of frogs.The plot itself is very basic but that doesnt matter because the film runs on all the jokes.Hopefully there wont be such a long wait for a third film.
Oh and there is another hilarious appearance by bill murray this time during the main credits.

Aardman carry on delivering fun funny filns
Aardman make movies that on one hand are just full of a British charm and on the other have a classic slapstick appeal. The new Shaun the Sheep sequel hasn't lost any of its appeal. The alien they introduce is cute and fun and funny. Adults and kids were all laughing out loud such is its accessibility of anyone of any age. I could take a five year old with autism or my grandad to watch this film and both would laugh.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Fleabag - Season 1 in TV
Mar 29, 2020
Top bitesize TV series
Finally got round to watching this after hearing many good reviews. A very short series of 6 episodes and only 25 minute long episodes. It follows the life of a 30 year old dealing with life, relationships, family, love, grief and sex. It's very funny with a sharp, witty script. It's similar to @Peep Show - Season 1 in some ways, breaking the 4th wall talking to the viewer. Also similar tone but this time from a female perspective. If you haven't seen it yet check it out!

Veronica Pena (690 KP) rated Daddy's Home (2015) in Movies
Apr 23, 2020 (Updated Apr 23, 2020)
I thought this film was fine. It had its moments of funny. It was a little predictable, but I feel like with these movies it always is. I do think that Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell are good together. I found Dusty to be annoying, but I guess that was kind of the point. I am going to watch the second one because I want to know what happens - whatever that's worth.
I didn't like that they kept implying Brad was racist. I just don't find those jokes funny and I'm surprised they tried to land so many.
