2011 Movies: #47, 46, 45 & 44

Ref: Mulhern

#47: Cars 2

#46: Win Win

#45: X-Men: First Class

#44: Horrible Bosses

Okay, so I didn't see any of these films - clearly B has more important things to do than take me to the movies with him. So instead, I will review four films that Mulhern did not see and would probably have ranked in this range (or below) anyway.

#47: Cars 2 Jumping the Broom

Successful city girl Sabrina Watson (Paula Patton) is unlucky in love until she meets Jason Taylor (Laz Alonso). After a whirlwind romance, they're set to spend the rest of their lives together - but will their wedding survive their families?

#46: Win Win New Year's Eve

A motley crew of celebs [Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Robert De Niro, Halle Berry, Cary Elwes, Alyssa Milano, Common, Jessica Biel, Seth Meyers, Katherine Heigl, Jon Bon Jovi, Sofia Vergara, Ashton Kutcher, Lea Michele, Sarah Jessica Parker, Abigail Breslin, Josh Duhamel, Hilary Swank, Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges (as he is billed), Hector Elizondo and a whole host of special guest cameos and extras and family members of director Garry Marshall] converge on New York City just in time for one magical night. No surprises here - everyone pretty much plays to their expected type (although SJP rocks some hideous shoes, so there is that).

#45: X-Men: First Class Something Borrowed

Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) considers herself a good girl who takes good care of her flighty and effervescent best friend, Darcy (Kate Hudson) - that is, up until she *spoiler alert* sleeps with Darcy's fiancé Dex (Colin Egglesfield), a missed romantic possibility from her past. Darcy simpers, Dex waffles infuriatingly, friend Ethan (John Krasinski) provides logical-yet-ignored advice and Rachel finds herself questioning who she is and what she deserves out of life - while we find ourselves questioning why and whether we care.

#44: Horrible Bosses Monte Carlo

Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy star in this fun-loving romp through a world of glitz and glamour. On a European adventure, our heroines get left behind by the worst tour group of all time - but before they throw in the towel, Grace Bennett (Gomez) is mistaken for misbehaving socialite Cordelia Winthrop Scott and she and her entourage are whisked away to an appearance in Monte Carlo. It wouldn't be a feel-good flick without a hint of romance, a spot of trouble and some life lessons learned along the way.
