Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2357 KP) rated The Black Dove in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Big Red and Old Red are still in San Francisco when a chance encounter with a friend leads them into a murder in China town. This book has some funny parts, but it is darker than the previous two books in the series. Still, it was a fun trip through the San Francisco of 1893.

Heather Cranmer (2721 KP) rated Not Your Mother's Book...On Being a Stupid Kid in Books
Jun 7, 2018
(I received this book for free from the Goodreads First Reads program.)
This is an alright read. What I did was I kept it in the bathroom for everyone to read to bring about a little chuckle whilst reading this.
Some of the stories are laugh out loud funny whilst others are just kind of boring.
However, I would definitely recommend this book to at least keep in the bathroom for some light reading material =)

So much better than I was anticipating
Let’s face it, it was a friends turn to choose the film so I went in with the lowest of expectations only to be pleasantly surprised. The chemistry between the cast is believable with no duff acting amongst them. The story which is totally different from the original was funny and the dialogue sharp. Really enjoyed it.

I found this book just didnt hit the mark for me - some parts were funny and entertaining but for the most part I felt it didn't really have a plot - I hated all of the secondary characters, every last one - I had never been so happy to get one on one with the mains because I enjoyed them - I like the name, the emergency contact theme was cute but alas, just didn't hit the marks.

Well this doesn't seem to be too popular. I can see why, I found it ok but far from great or laugh out loud funny. One that plays on the male/female relationship during an usual setting and events. Seems a popular choice of idea with The Killers, Knight and Day also out this year. However for a Rom-com The ugly truth was way better and for more action go for Knight and day.

Entertaining Monster Dating Sim
So, I'll preface this by saying that I've never played a dating simulator before but it looked cute and I needed something to waste time on so I purchased it on Steam. The content is pretty original, definitely not kid friendly even though the animation looks as if it would be. The possible endings (but mostly rejections) are incalculable. Enjoying something different.

Lacking bite
I was expecting this to be a fun, tongue in cheek B movie creature feature. Unfortunately I think they tried too hard to make it a serious film. As a result it's not particularly funny, intentionally or otherwise. It's also too silly to take seriously. Really needed to go all out one way or the other. You'll forget it very quickly.
Dean (6927 KP) rated Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) in Movies
Sep 1, 2018
A so-so film, really aimed at a younger audience. Herbie for the next generation. Might be ok for them but I didn't think it was as funny as I remember the originals when I was a kid. I'm not sure about animating the front of the car to make it more like a face in some scenes either. Ok to watch through with your kids, surprisingly good cast for this I have to add!
Leah (: (569 KP) rated The Time Loop (Werewolf High book 6) in Books
Sep 10, 2018
Despite having the potential to be boring and repetitive this book really wasn’t it, was just as funny as all the others.
Lucy’s terrible luck continues, this time stuck in a time loop only she is aware of. Lucy starts to really grow up as she has to make some hard choices due to this curse.
She also has to deal with the truth about her father and how to move on.

Jo (37 KP) rated You Slay Me (Aisling Grey #1) in Books
Oct 6, 2018
This was quite funny but in an extremely silly sort of way. The whole thing felt kinda puerile and shallow.
Aisling amused and annoyed me in equal measure; she behaved ridiculously. Drake came across as an insufferable sleaze. And the supporting cast of characters seriously lacked depth and development.
I did find You Slay Me to be an entertaining read -I certainly didn't hate it -but it far from blew my socks off.
