Due Date (2010)

Mad cap road trip with two mismatched characters

[9/10 · 10 February 2013]

This movie is irritating and hilarious. Zach is over the top. He has established himself as a zany unpredictable type in movies like The Hangover. He is the kind of guy you want to kill one minute, and hug the next. Movie star great Robert Downy Jr. plays the ultimate straight man. His logic and reasoning go right out the window with Zach. The things they encounter on the 2,000 mile road trip, are unbelievably funny! Zachs character has a cute little dog. The dog almost steals a few scenes. Juliette Lewis is great as the Medical Marijuana Dispensary owner in New Orleans. From the airport to his wives hospital bedside, it's nonstop action, and hilarity. I recommend this movie highly. I rented it two different times.

Fat Kid Rules the World (2012)

A shy fat kid is befriended by a rebel punk rocker. They form a band, and the fat kid takes it seriously.

[8/10 · 9 February 2013]

I was pleasantly surprised after viewing Fat Kid... I too grew up chubby and withdrawn. I was attracted to characters like Marcus in my own life. Matt O'Leary plays a high powered, reckless poetic and tragic figure. A real hustler, and user of people. Jacob Wysoki who plays the part of Troy,is an excellent actor. He says so much with facial expressions, and he seems naive, but genuine.

I grew up playing Rock music, it became my career and I have no regrets. I only wish I had the kind of love and support Troys character enjoyed. The father ,played by Billy Campbell was so understanding, and nurturing. Obviously making up for the lack of a mother in the home.

I recommend this sweet and positive film. They are so rare and hard to come by. It was sentimental without being sappy.
