She's Too Young (2004 TV Movie)

Worst excuse for a movie I have ever seen in my life
28 November 2007
This is the worst over-the-top, hilariously cheesy excuse for a movie I have ever seen in my life. Being a 17 year old, I think I can also say with confidence that it is not realistic in the most forgiving sense.

The first thing I noticed is the strong bias against MEN that this movie has, no surprise since its a LIFETIME movie. I felt like every time a man came onto the screen, he says something dumb or acts irresponsibly. Even when the dad came on screen, he would just crack open a beer, say "Oh I don't care about our daughter, I'm watchin da game!", and walk off-screen. And all the guys at her high school were Neanderthals who wanted sex and nothing more. The only exception was her gay friend at school. Yes, he's gay.

Now to the bulk of the movie. I could just picture what this sad excuse for a movie was going to be like before I even watched it. A bunch of arrogant Hollywood writers 'exposing' what dangerous, sex-filled American teen life is like. It is nothing like the movie portrays. Yes, people have responsible sex before they are married. Yes, there are 'sluts' who have sex with many partners. No, girls don't 'put out' or act so sexually aggressive as they do in the movie. And they're 14 in the movie. No way.

The movie is also very cheesy. Some of the quotes sound like they come right out of an abstinence textbook. "Look if you do it you'll fit in" "Cmon don't you wanna be popular?" To which the girl instantly replies 'yes' and they have sex. These people act nothing like real humans, and that is why its so funny.

Another bright spot of the movie is how they portray the main 'player', the guy who gets all the girls and spreads syphilis. He doesn't care about infecting people, wants just sex, and they show him watching porn to make him look like a bad person. People in the class thought this was particularly funny. You see him on an XXX site and he's instantly a bad dude. Who woulda known so many people were evil in high school.

To sum it up, this movie sucks and its not realistic at all. I hate to imagine what middle aged soccer moms think when they see this movie. "OH THATS HOW IT IS MAH KIDS BE HAVIN SEX EW!" Well, let me tell you, this movie is the farthest thing from reality I've ever seen. A joke.

The Best Movie Ever
26 November 2004
A staple of American movie history, the Blues Brothers is one of, if not the, best movie ever. Its kind of hard to describe what makes this musical comedy so awesome, but as soon as you find out that they're on a "Mission from God", you know you're in for a wild ride.

It all begins with Jake Blues (John Belushi) being released from prison and meeting up with his brother, Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd). After a rousing church scene with James Brown, Jake "sees the light" and learns that they must put the band together to get money to save the orphanage that they grew up it. It keeps getting better from there, with guest appearances by Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin, just to name a few, and a bunch of great musical numbers by the Blues Brothers band, too. The movie has a lot of funny moments, from the part in the beginning with Frank Oz (I was laughing out loud for 5 straight minutes), to the part with the Illinois Nazis chasing the Blues Brothers ("Ive always loved you"...hahaha), this movie will keep you in a good mood through the entire 2 hours of blues goodness. The movie is finished up with an awesome car chase, which still has the record for the most cars wrecked in a single movie.

All in all, it would be a crime to pass up on this great movie, and, with the 25th Anniversary Edition DVD coming out soon (Dan Aykroyd confirmed in an interview, see it on bluesbrotherscentral.com), no-one should miss this classic movie.
