Living in Hope (2002)
there isn't much British about it
Few years ago I've spent two semesters learning at a uni of South-England and therefore I was so looking forward to see this one. I have to say it was a massive disappointment. It is shocking how an all-English cast could give so little impression of the English way of life and it seems that the movie doesn't even try to create the atmosphere of a real English campus. Even though British humor is world famous, you are guaranteed not to laugh as these characters and their lines aren't from England but Dulland. The dialoques are so painfully boring that you can be sure to hear better ones by simply listening to any random conversation on the bus.
Grandma's Boy (2006)
over 20? into Xbox? still hanging with your parents? you need to see this one d00d! :D
Needless to say I'm not a movie aesthete having rated Grandma's Boy 9 out of 10, all I'm into is a good laugh. If a movie doesn't entertain it bores, as far as I'm concerned. if you too are that sorta guy when it comes to movies, you will love this one. i wasn't expecting much TBH, i just popped it in around midnight thinking i will watch it for an hour or so and then go to sleep when the guy kisses the girl or when the bad guy stops hating the good guys or something greasy like that. this movie however, has a very good rhythm, first of all, i think it has just the right amount (very little) of love content in it and also, it avoids the boring and the annoying almost perfectly. the only noticeable mistake was using the character of Bea, who is too stupid to be real or funny for that matter, whereas other characters are just as stupid as probably most of your mates are which makes'em completely easy to relate to. To give Rob Schneider (he has such a funny accent in this one, it's fab) one or two more scenes or/and drop Bea would have been a good idea, but i can't think of anything else that they could have done better while making a movie about Xbox-loving, weed-smoking,25+ 35+ infantile guys.
If you own a steering wheel with your Xbox, wear the same gear you wore in high school, know the middle name of Eric Cartman and like to smoke a blunt every now and then in Amsterdam where it's legal, this movie - sadly enough - won't get you a cute girlfriend, proper social life or a decent job (you need to sort that out yourself) but it will get you 100% of your RDA in laughing at yourself, it certainly did to me.
