Funny Money (2006)
Not the knee-slapping wit piece they wanted it to be. Overacting and horrible dialogue makes it theatrical and dumb. Poor Chevy. Only a glimmer of what he once was.

The International (2009)
A lot going on. There were moments when I had to stop and try to figure out who everyone was and what was motivating them. No matter, though. Owen is magnetic enough to keep me into almost any plot the whole time. Exquisite camerawork, location shooting, and editing. A very…

The Hangover (2009)
A lot of superficial, unsophisticated humor. People acting stupid/being punched/falling over/getting injured/throwing up/being naked is funny? Randomness is funny? Cooper, who is supposed the be the cool one, has the looks but doesn’t have the lines. None of the characters really have any depth. There’s just nothing smart about this…
