April Movie Reviews

1. Juno:
The Basic Plot: Juno, a high school junior finds herself pregnant unexpectantly. The film follows her quirky life and how she gets through her 9 long months of pregnancy. It's a mix between Napolean Dinomite and 9 months.
Review: This movie is hilarious! It's witty, creative, and engaging throughout. Although there are some awkward scenes, I would highly recommend watching this.
Chris gives it: B (I would have given it an A if there wasn't an awkward sex scene)
Monica gives it: A

2. Charlie Wilson's War:
The Basic Plot: Set in the 1980s, this movie is based on the real life story of Charlie Wilson, a Texas Congressman. Along with the help of his friends, Charlie helps the government of Afghanistan defeat the Russian military.
Review: The fact that this is a true story makes the movie twice as good as it really should be. The story travels a little too fast and would benifit from a little more detail in certain scenes. One of the best parts of the movie is the top notch cast: Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Chris gives it: B
Monica gives it: C (It wasn't great/It wasn't horrible)

3. Delta Farce:
The basic plot: Three (unique) soldiers are on their way to Iraq. A couple hours into the flight they fall asleep and are unknowingly dropped out of the cargo hole. When they wake up they think they are in Iraq but they soon realize they are in Mexico.
Review: I can't believe we actually watched this movie. We had never seen a Larry the Cable Guy movie before, but it was exactly what we expected.
Chris gives it: D (There was an occassional funny scene but overall this movie was a dud)
Monica Gives it: C

4. Cocaine Cowboys:
The basic plot: A documentary following the effects of cocaine on Miami in the early 1980s
Review: Wow. I had no idea this life actually exsisted in America. The violence, drugs, and money, that cocaine created in Miami was staggering. You should definately watch it.
Chris gives it: A
Monica gives it: A
