Hunger Games (2012) (Zero Stars)

I have no idea how people can pay attention to movies like this one.  Boring and lame are the only words I can use to describe the 30 minutes I forced myself to sit through this travesty.  Jennifer Lawrence really made it big with this movie and I just don't get it.  She was quite entertaining on The Bill Engvall Show which ended way too early in my opinion.  Perhaps she should try another comedy.  Regardless of what others tell you about how great this movie is, ignore them and save your time. 

Runtime is 142 minutes if you can make it that long.

The Pill (2011) *

To put it simply.  A man has unprotected sex with a stranger and then spends the next day following her around trying to ensure she takes the morning after pill.  That's pretty much it in a nutshell.  If that brief synopsis sounds good then give it a try. 
His current girlfriend is a overbearing witch and his one night stand is psycho.  One thing is for certain, after watching this I certainly do not miss the single life.

Guilt Trip (2013) **

  • Sometimes your parents really are just looking out for your best interest.  
  • You're never too old to learn something from your parents.  
  • Parents learn just as much from their kids as they teach them.

Those along with 12 other cliche's sum up this movie staring Seth Rogan & Barabara Steisand.  Let me start by saying that Seth Rogan plays himself like he does in most of his movies.  Barbara plays an overbearing nagging mother very well.  The basic plot involves a road trip from New Jersey out to California with Seth trying to sell a non-poisonious cleaning agent to uninterested companies along the way.  If you can sit thru the first half of the movie, it pays off by the end.
