Advantages: Might appeal to some Disadvantages: Lots, the acting, the story, the lack of plot.
but having watched Material Girls I don't think I will be rushing out to watch any other films. Their acting was very mediocre, perhaps it is not them, it could just be the script but I just didn't think it was great.
There are some funny moments but it is also quite unbelievable. There are lots of really ridiculous moments where you are left thinking surely you don't expect us to believe that these sisters are quite that stupid.
As I mentioned before the film is quite predictable and of course we couldn't have a film like these without the girls learning some valuable lessons in life and learning that money isn't the most important thing!
I think it's a film that will probably appeal to perhaps teenage girls but its not a film that I enjoyed and I won't be watching it again. I shall be looking a bit closer next time Lovefilm ...
Advantages: Very Scary and Bloody Disadvantages: Nothing
The THING.
Let me start by saying that if Kurt Russell had not been in this movie it probably would have been a so-so film. However he lifts the whole film, in my opinion.
The film is based on the novel by John W Campbell Jnr and is a remake of the original black and white movie made in 1951 called The Thing from Another World.
An American research team are in the Antarctic when one day there world is turned upside down. Firstly with some crazed Norwegian in a helicopter trying to shoot dead a poor running dog and then later when things start happening around the base.
The dog it seems is not a dog and soon some of the scientists are not human at all. It seems there is a malevolent alien parasitic organism that has been discovered and then released by the Norwegians and it can take the form of any living thing ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of The Thing (DVD)
Advantages: Silly rom com with elements of hilarity Disadvantages: Standard plot, storyline and characters which we've all seen before
PLOT -
Anyway, Paul (Jason Lee - My Name is Earl) is due to marry his sweetheart Karen (Selma Blair - Cruel Intentions). Pretty straightforward! Unfortunately at his batchelor party he gets a little worse for where and ends up in bed with Becky (Julia Stiles - Save the last Dance). As he does the manly thing and try to get away with it he is hit with the bombshell that not only does he have an std but Becky is Karen's cousin. Bugger i hear all you men say!! No escape surely but the comedy unravels as wedding preperations are made and Paul's lies just keep getting worse as he falls deeper into a hole he can hardly struggle out of.
PERFORMANCES -
At the time Jason Lee's stock was rising after appearing in such films as Vanilla Sky, Almost Famous, Heartbreakers and multiple Kevin Smith films. His wit and comedy is there in bits but ...
