Five at once? You've got to be kidding, Mulhern!
#33 Hot Tub Time Machine
No clue - didn't see it. I did take a photo with B at the HTTM display, though. It was like we were in the hot tub time machine! He had a flat top.
#32 The Other Guys
Here's another case of The A-Team - I remember enjoying this movie, but don't remember much about it.
#31 MacGruber
Way too gratuitous for me. (Sorry - I know this one is much beloved.) I was hoping to like MacGruber, but it was too much of a parody. I felt like the film pulled a Family Guy, making every gag run on about five minutes longer than necessary. I can attest to the fact that Mulhern enjoyed it thoroughly, however.
#30 She's Out of My League
I have a soft spot for Jay Baruchel now that he's played Hiccup, the greatest young animated action hero of our time, in How to Train Your Dragon (3D), but I liked him in She's Out of My League independent of this. I thought the movie did a pretty good job of toeing the over-the-line line without completely crossing it (see: MacGruber). Some parts were less to my taste than others, but overall it kept my attention and made me cheer for the (at-times moronic) heroes.
Plus - bonus - Krysten Ritter as the eccentric, sometimes caustic but well-meaning friend.
#29 Morning Glory
Mulhern, sis and I saw this at the 10:30 a.m. showing on a Saturday morning. (Yes, I still needed popcorn despite it being well before noon.) Critical panning notwithstanding, I quite enjoyed this lovely and funny film. Diane Keaton and Harrison Ford together were great in their mutual loathing, and Rachel McAdams convincingly portrayed a sweet, idealistic career girl trying to be a mature professional despite challenging coworkers and circumstances. I'd see this one again, even though the bangs and fashion choices left something to be desired.
Weather vane!
