#25 Cyrus
Awkward. So very awkward. I agree with the Mulhern's assessment that this film had some good moments (living room concert - clutch), and I've been fond of Maria Tomei since my dad the mock trial coach started the yearly tradition of watching My Cousin Vinny to hone courtroom technique. However, for me the awkwardness was just too much to overcome. From the painful opening scene (*spoiler alert* Catherine Keener the ex-wife walks in on John C. Reilly, er, entertaining himself at home) throughout the development of character relationships, painfully awkward moments permeate the storyline. And while some of them are amusing to watch, many of them go just a step too far. That said, the resolution to the whole saga was clever and unexpected.
#24 Despicable Me
I thought this was such a cute movie. I loved the amusing characters, the finger puppet picture book, the audacious goal, the dog (wasn't there a dog?) and the minions!!!! The minions were great. Seeing this in 3D was a good decision, too - we got to ride on a roller coaster and fly and go to the moon! Definitely worth a viewing.
