Review: Our daughters were attending a community theater musical yesterday afternoon and since we both needed a break from our weekend projects, my wife and I decided to watch a movie together.

Review: My wife and I both enjoyed the first movie more than expected so when I heard there was going to be a sequel, I wanted to see it at the theater on the big screen. That didn't happen because of scheduling conflicts but after finally seeing it tonight, I am kind of glad about that. This is one of those movies that wasn't terrible but also wasn't anywhere near as good as the original. I think a big part of the reason why that was the case was the...

Review: I came across this film a couple weeks ago and, thinking it looked interesting, added it to my movie library.

Santos , Allison Janney and Ken Jeong . Review: I ended up getting this movie on DVD through Netflix after my wife saw a trailer for it and said she wanted to watch it. We ended up finally seeing the film earlier tonight. I am always a bit skeptical when it comes to romantic comedies. This is because many of them tend to be extremely hypocritical by sharing a message about the importance of women being happy with who they are but, at the same time, telling them their life isn't going...
