The outfits with fake padded muscles (0 more)
Firstly, I cannot stand the strange, padded muscles on Shazam. I guess it's kind of meant to look jokey? Was it intentional? It bothered me the entire movie. I also have a problem with people playing multiple superheroes.
The story for the film was entertaining throughout, but it was a little long. It could have definitely done with a good edit. I did actually laugh in the theater, but I don't think it was really funny enough to be a comedy. It was strange, it was trying to be for both kids and adults, but was too adult for kids, and too kiddish for adults, if that makes sense.

Contains spoilers, click to show
I saw an early screening of this almost a month ago and I had no idea what this was about, but I really liked some of the actors Salma Hayek and Alexander Skarsgard, so I went. The actors and their performances are what kept me entertained. There were some funny parts, but the whole story line of building a high frequency line was a bit strange and in the end no one got the big payday. It was anticlimactic. So if you like these actors than check it out on home video, but not in the theaters since i think it's only in a few theaters anyways.

fantastic read
This is the forth book in this series by this author. This is a sports romance read. this book can be read as a stand alone read or as part of the series. This story is fun, steamy and is perfectly written. Amazing well written characters which you will fall in love with as you read. The banter between the main characters is laugh out loud funny. This is another amazing read from this author, which will have you hooked from the first page. I can' t wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended read

the author has wrote a very graphic tale but in a sensitive tone. the first chapter sets the tone for the rest of the book. this book is a beautiful book which contains some hard hitting story lines that will pull at your heart. the characters are very well thought out and work really well. this book will draw you in and keep you hooked till the last page. I couldn't put this book down, it was sad one minute, funny the next keeping you gripped. the book has a lovely ending and gets you ready for the next in the series

Adam Sandler at his best
Over the years each time an adam sandler film has come out it has always been dreadful and somehow worse than the last one but the wedding singer reminds us of when his films were actually half decent and sandler was funny.

A very basic storyline that was executed perfectly with characters you could care for and jokes that made you laugh.The standout part for me everytime I revisit this film is when he sings the song he wrote,half of when he was with his fiancee and the other half after she dumped him and you have Jon lovitz smirking in delight at Sandler's misfortune..classic stuff!.

Horrible Bosses is a film that features an all-star cast with the likes of Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis to name but a few. It performed incredibly well at the box office and didn’t fare too badly with critics either – it was awarded a decent 69% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Aniston’s performance is tongue-in-cheek to say the least as she plays a hyper-sexed dentist. She’s funny and engaging in the role, losing the girl-next-door persona she had become criticised for overplaying in the past. Horrible Bosses and its sequel are well worth a watch.

Absolute favourite podcast
I absolutely love this podcast! It's funny and interesting and makes me think a lot about the world. I regularly listen to it on long trips or even as something to drift off to sleep listening to.

The only possible negative thing I could say is that while the occasional explicit content doesn't bother me, I have a 12 year old brother I'd love to recommend it to, but sometimes I feel some of the content in some episodes isn't appropriate, and it's difficult to tell which ones without listening to it first and making note.

It is very well organized, and covers every important aspect of a relationship (2 more)
It is simultaneously rational, but filled with hope.
Relevant and applicable to every situation
This book got me through the worst breakup of my life
"I simply cannot recommend this book enough. It is a 'self-help' psychology book I suppose, but it is so much more than that. It is funny, witty, and more than anything: helpful. Whether you are in a relationship (happy or struggling), or recently single, this book will help you learn things about yourself you've never known. I hope this helps you our with 'your favorite Martian,' or 'your favorite Venusian.'" -from my Bookstagram account, rorythereader

I'm not normally a short story reader. I chose this because I thought it would be a funny read that would work well as an audiobook. plus, I was swayed by the "guest" readers on the audiobook.
Not only did it make me laugh but it made me think! Some of the stories were very thought-provoking, which surprised me. I enjoyed it. A few of the stories dragged on and on. My favorites were those that came abruptly to an end. They made me laugh and pause to think, instead of spelling it all out.
I was not. B.J.Novak fan from television really so I wasn't predisposed to like this book. It was just enjoyable.

Join Princes Fredric, Gustav, Liam, and Duncan as they must ban together to stop an evil witch from taking over their kingdoms. Of course, first, they must learn their own strengths and how to get along with each other.

This book was laugh out loud funny from start to finish with wonderful character growth and an engaging plot. My only complaint is that I didn't read it even sooner. With strong male and female characters, I think both boys and girls will equally love it. And adults will delight in this middle grade fractured fairy tale as well.
