Think Like a Man Too is a Complete riot!

The Think Like a Man gang is back and better than ever in this outrageously funny sequel about a group of friends reuniting in Vegas to celebrate one of their own getting married.

The story focuses on Michael and Candace who are getting married, despite the wishes of Michael's mother Loretta who never thought Candace was good enough for her son. But for Michael's sake, Loretta "tries" to show her acceptance by planning and controlling the entire weekend. Candace and Lauren do find a way however, to escape Loretta's grip, which eventually lands them into more trouble than they ever could have imagined.

What I liked about this film is the character growth. Everyone (except Cedric of course ) made huge leaps, all thanks to their significant others.


This movie was fantastic. I literally laughed from beginning to end, which was in huge part due to Kevin Hart's role as Cedric. His expressions alone are enough to make someone fall out of their seat with uncontrollable laughter.

McCrandon light up the screen: Tammy

Melissa McCarthy and Susan Sarandon are the ultimate dynamic duo in this 2014 hit Tammy.

The story is about a woman, Tammy (McCarthy) who reluctantly takes her alcoholic grandmother on a road trip after she loses her job and cheating husband all in one day.


Right from the start, we see that Tammy holds an extreme grudge against her grandmother; as the story unfolds we understand why. But as the movie progresses, their relationship reaches a growth. In fact there was one part of the movie when Tammy attempts to bail her grandmother out of jail by robbing a burger joint. That was my personal favorite part.

During their journey, Tammy and her grandmother meet two handsome strangers , Earl and Bobby who happen to be father and son. This alone is one hell of a storyline!


I don't always like all of the movies that Melissa McCarthy is in but I must say she did a great job in this film. I think the biggest reason I liked this movie was the likeability of the characters, especially Tammy. It was also a bonus that Sandra Oh (Grey's Anatomy) was in it and played Kathy Bates' lover!

This movie will have you laughing from beginning to end, I know I did!

The Fault in Our Stars is an Epic Love Story

Shailene Woodley has grown so much from her days on The Secret Life of the American Teenager. She has proven herself to be an asset to the acting community in this touching film based on John Green's Novel, The Fault in Our Stars.

Woodley stars as Hazel Grace Lancaster, a teenage cancer patient who attends a support group and meets Augustus Waters, the boy who steals her heart and quickly becomes the love of her life. He helps her experience life outside her cancer.

What I liked about this film was that it was very real. The writers did not sugarcoat the struggles of living a life with cancer but they added comic relief which lightened the drama of the story.

This truly was an epic love story that will bring a mixture of tears and smiles to the faces of all who watch this film.

Jersey Boys is a dance in your seat, fun filled movie!

Audiences will not be able to resist the musical entertainment of Jersey Boys, a movie that tells the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, a group formed by four young men from the wrong side of the tracks.


The majority of the story focused on the vocal talents of Frankie Valli and contained many of the songs that we all love to sing but what I liked is that each character had a story to tell. For instance, we saw the influence that Tommy DeVito had on the rest of the group. He was the bad boy that I loved and hated at the same time.

What I really enjoyed about this movie, is that is actually had a real storyline as opposed to being fully centered around the songs. It was filled with drama, romance and a few mob references which made the film all the more interesting.


I have never seen the Broadway play but I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the portrayal of Frankie Valli, played by John Lloyd Young.  He did a fantastic job, as did the rest of the cast. I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good tune.

Zac Efron proves versatility: Neighbors

Zac Efron has went from playing the innocent and preppy Troy Bolton in High School Musical to the badass frat brother Teddy Sanders in Neighbors. He has proven his capability of adapting to any acting role.




Efron stars next to Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne, who play new parents Mac and Kelly living in a cozy, quiet neighborhood until the house next door to them becomes the home to a fraternity. The noise level soon becomes the cause of a war between the couple and their new frat neighbors.

Though there were several parts of this film that sparked laughter, I felt the characters, specifically Mac and Kelly, acted with extreme, unrealistic stupidity.




I have seen all of Zac Efron's movies and although this films proves his ability to play any character role, I do not think this was his best movie.

Rio 2 is an animated delight

In this adorable sequel to the 2011 hit Rio, old friends reunite, new adventures are taken and vengeance is sought.


The story takes place in the Amazon where Blue and his family have traveled in a quest to find their missing species.


In their travels, Jewel reconnects with her father and the rest of her family, whom she never thought she'd see again. This alone is an interesting storyline because we see the lengths Blue goes to impress his new found father in-law.


In addition to the loveable characters we met in the original film, there are several new characters that are just as endearing.


I am not usually one for animated films but I must say I very much enjoyed watching this movie from beginning to end. It is a fun filled family film that has comedic relief, a lot of musical entertainment and little twists along the way including an encounter from Tiago who was seeking revenge on Blue.

The Other Woman is Delightfully Funny

For any woman who's been cheated on by the man she thought she loved, The Other Woman is definitely the film to see.


Cameron Diaz, Kate Upton and Leslie Mann star in this hilarious comedy about a housewife, Kate (Mann) who finds out that her husband Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is having an affair with two other women, Carly (Diaz) and Amber (Upton).

Kate tracks the two women down but instead of lashing out at them, the three women team up to take Mark down. In the process of taking steps to make his life miserable, they form a true friendship.

What I liked about this movie is that neither of the mistresses knew they were mistresses and when they found out who Mark really was, they refused to continue sleeping with him.


Though it is completely unrealistic for a wife to form bonds with her husband's girlfriends, it was fun to watch these women do what all women in their shoes wish they could do: Make Him Pay!


I give this movie an A plus.
