I didn't have very high expectations of A Fish Called Wanda when I was about to see it. I thought it was going to be just a funny piece of entertainment but when I saw it, it was way more than that. A Fish Called Wanda seriously is the funniest thing that I have ever watched and that I think I'll ever watch. A Fish Called Wanda is a film that I literally cried at with laughter because it was so funny! Watching this film was a real experience for me because this is the exact kind of comedy that I have been waiting for all my life. If I am ever in the mood for a laugh or need for cheering up, A Fish Called Wanda is always the perfect choice. When a hilarious bit came up, I just cried so hard it hurt and ran upstairs and screamed! This is one of the few films that I have seen that I have found perfect in every single way. This film even inspired me a lot for some unknown reason. A Fish Called Wanda is such an original comedy that does have a taste of it being a black-comedy because of the crime involved but it is a comedy you can just laugh at almost everything in this film.


John Cleese was absolutely amazing as Archie Leach. I am a massive fan of John Cleese especially in classic British comedy series Fawlty Towers. Archie's character is very similar to Basil Fawlty especially when Archie gets into really awkward situations especially when Wanda is involved. Archie is a middle aged man who enjoys his job but has a very boring personal life which makes him unhappy. When he meets Wanda for the first time, he is instantly taken by her and they begin an affair. Wanda's "brother" but really another lover Otto begins to get jealous and that just gets out of control. As I said, watching Archie was like watching Basil Fawlty all over again. Jamie Lee Curtis' performance as Wanda Gershwitz was unbelievable! She should have had an Oscar nomination alongside Kevin Kline. Jamie was the perfect choice for Wanda because she is a very sexy young woman but is also a brilliant actress who is a complete bitch. Wanda takes advantage of her beauty by trying to fool Otto, Ken, George and Archie into getting the loot. She becomes part of a robbery along with George, Ken and Otto but George moves the loot. Her and Otto turn George into the police just before they found out George moved the loot. Jamie was probably the hottest film actress of the 80s which makes her the perfect choice for Wanda. She made the film even funnier than it already was anyway. It is really funny when Otto speaks Italian to her and she is so turned on by it. Kevin Kline's performance as Otto is the funniest film performance that I have ever seen! It is one of the best acting performances of all time too! Otto is a character that is my perfect comedy character that I can mimic words from. He just makes me laugh so much especially when he throws himself around and speaks Italian. Kline won an Oscar for this film which is really rare for the comedy genre in the acting category. Otto is without a doubt now one of my all-time favourite characters of all time. Kevin Kline's performance wasn't only the funniest performance ever but also one of the best male supporting performances ever too. It's funny because Otto is the villain of the film but is the funniest of all the characters within the film. He can be funny as in laugh-out-loud and can also be laughable but in a dark way because of some of the things he does. Michael Palin as Ken was hilarious as well. Ken is a close friend of Wanda and George who lives with them. When he meets Otto for the first time, they instantly become enemies. Ken has a big stutter that is hilarious yet very unfortunate especially when Otto teases him by mocking him. For example "Hello, K-K-Ken's p-p-pets!" Ken is another man who Wanda tries to fool to get the loot as well as Archie, George and Otto. John Cleese and Connie Booth's real-life daughter Cynthia Cleese portrayed Cleese's on-screen daughter Portia.


Charles Crichton creates one of the most original comedies of all time. The camera angles on this film were absolutely perfect! Crichton and Cleese handled this film very well and wrote it really well. Every single thing about this film is perfect! Just by watching this film, it really does look like a laugh during filming and I can easily tell that the cast became friends very quickly. The script is one of the best scripts of all time. It was written like it was meant for pure entertainment but was like a landmark of comedies.


A Fish Called Wanda is one of the best comedies ever! I call it THE comedy of all time. This film has one of the best ensemble cast of all time too with absolutely fantastic Oscar worthy performances from the whole cast. Jamie Lee Curtis' performance is one of the best leading female performances of all time. Kevin Kline's performance is one of the very best supporting male performances of all time too. It is a comedy that I cried with laughter at and still can despite having watched it so many times. It is the first of a new kind of comedy but nothing today has been compared to it today apart from Fierce Creatures in which we see the cast return again after 10 years. A Fish Called Wanda is way better than Fierce Creatures even though I really like that one. A Fish Called Wanda is the perfect film to watch when I need or I'm in the mood for a laugh or need cheering up. It is a hilarious, wacky, crazy and original film that I absolutely love and I don't think any comedy will ever replace it as my favourite comedy.

Finding Nemo is without a single doubt one of the funniest and most treasured animated films ever. It is a clever story with hilarious, cute and extremely lovable characters. Finding Nemo is probably the most adult out of all PIXARs so far because it has such hilarious jokes especially with Dory's short-term memory loss. The animated effects inside the water and the sea creatures are almost like Ratatouille and WALL-E effects. It is a very inspiring film as far as Marlin's commitment to achieve his goal which is to find his son Nemo. I love films that are for both kids and adults. Finding Nemo is a really cool animated film. What I mean that it's a cool film is that it has a lot of really hilarious sayings that a teenager would say such as "Dude" and "Sweet". Finding Nemo may not be as famous as Toy Story 1+2 but it is better than both of them. Finding Nemo is the one PIXAR that everybody loves.

I loved all of the different sets of characters in Finding Nemo. They all had two things in common: funny and serious. Marlin is a clown fish who is a single parent after his wife Coral was eaten by a pike. Because of the tragedy and his now open fear of the ocean, he is very overprotective towards his son Nemo up until one day that phobia hits him in the face when Nemo is taken away by deep-sea Australian divers. Marlin takes his adventurous journey to find his son with a fish who has short-term memory loss. Her name is Dory. She is the funniest out of the entire film as well as one of the funniest film characters of all time. She comes out with some really silly things and gets herself and Marlin is really awkward situations such as "speaking Whale", always saying Nemo's name incorrectly and also when she almost suddenly forgets things. Dory is a character that is just too hilarious to ignore or to not laugh at. I love Nemo's personality because he is a very cute character and with such a powerful way of seeing through life at such a young age. He is a very brave little fish because he shows that he isn't really that scared of the ocean like his father is. I loved his close friendship with Gill who is the leader of the group within the Sydney Dentist fish tank. I loved other featured characters such as the three vegetarian sharks Bruce, Anchor and Chum, the fish within tank Gill, Bloat, Peach, Jacques, Bubbles, Deb and Gurgle, turtles Crush and Squirt, pelican Nigel and sting-ray Mr. Ray. If you think about it and see the cast, this film actually has an awesome cast including hilarious American homosexual comedian Ellen DeGeneres as Dory, Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush as Nigel, Willem Dafoe as Gill, director Andrew Stanton as Crush, Allison Janney as Peach and other returning PIXAR actors John Ratzenberger, Brad Garrett and Bob Peterson.

Andrew Stanton surprised a lot of people of how great Finding Nemo really turned out to be and how successful it was with the gross takings. Stanton's direction of Finding Nemo is the most adult PIXAR film so far. I could easily tell that Stanton's work on Finding Nemo was work that really needed thinking through because he probably wanted it to be funny, dramatic and rather tense for adults and for kids. He made it not too kiddish and not too grown-up either which is what I love the most about Finding Nemo. The script was very awesome with such hilarious scenes and with very motivating movements as the film was carrying on. To me, Finding Nemo was written to send people a very important message almost like an alert so to speak to advice parents not to be so overprotective but also to not do almost everything they want.

Finding Nemo was nominated for 4 Academy Awards. It won Best Animated Picture 2003 but was nominated for Best Original Screenplay but lost to Lost In Translation, Best Sound Editing but lost to Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World and Best Music Original Score but lost to The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King. This film was nominated for a Golden Globe as well: Best Picture Musical/Comedy but lost to Lost In Translation.

Finding Nemo is one of the top films of 2003 as well as one of the top animated films of all time. Finding Nemo is the funniest animated film of all time without a doubt. Finding Nemo is a film that only PIXAR could have created. It is a film that has earned a lot of credit in awards and also with the public as well. Finding Nemo is my second favourite PIXAR after my favourite Ratatouille. Finding Nemo deserves its rightful place on the best of comedy, adventure and animation in the world of cinema. It is a masterpiece that I do watch quite regularly and don't ever get bored of it.

This film truly is a feel good film because of its beautiful story and hilarious characters. This film made me feel really good because I love the Shrek character because he is quite a mean ogre on the outside but when you get to know Shrek, he is like a really good friend. His character is really powerful. It has a story that is quite odd but it combines together really well as it goes on and it turns into a family classic. This film had that typical family style that some animated films dont have. For example, it has quite crude humour which makes young kids understand what they mean. Shrek truly has loving characters that arent just for kids but are for adults too. They are all emotional characters aswell as absolutely hilarious ones. I love the scene where Shrek and Donkey confront Lord Farquaad about the swamp. When there was a wrestling tournament, Shrek and Donkey sort of take the mick out of professional wrestlers like Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam and Chris Masters but obviously in an absolutely hilarious way though of course. This film was quite thrilling as well because of when Shrek and Donkey were in the castle where they had to go and rescue Fiona from the dragon. It was tense how they got in and how they made their escape. In that scene, I thought the scene involving Donkey and the dragon was tense because the dragon is a lot bigger than Donkey. I had a feeling that the dragon was taking Donkey to eat him but it doesnt. I think the dragon falls for Donkey. It can be such an inspiration to thousands of people in this world and I am certainly one of those people.



Mike Myers delivers an absolutely awesome voice acting performance as Shrek. Mikes voice is simply perfect for Shrek because the type of character that Shrek is fits perfectly with Mike Myers Scottish accent. The voice that Mike uses in Shrek is the exact same voice as Fat Bastard in the Austin Powers trilogy. His voice as Shrek is both hilarious and heartwarming too which makes Shrek one of the most friendly and lovely characters that has ever been put to the screen. Eddie Murphys voice as Donkey is absolutely awesome too. Murphy has that sort of croaking and typical American accent which unusually fits absolutely perfectly for Donkey. His acting was superb. Cameron Diaz was good as Princess Fiona. I wish that there was a better actress for the voice of Fiona. She was still good though. I liked John Lithgow too as Lord Farquaad even though there werent that many scenes involving Farquaad. All four speak very differently. Not because of different actors but because they all try different sorts of accents.



The directional debut of Andrew Adamson was absolutely outstanding. He directed this film really well. He has done four really good films as director so far. Others like Shrek 2, The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion And The Wardrobe and The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian. The written screenplay in Shrek was absolutely outstanding. It was really clever and all of the lines in the certain scenes were absolutely perfect indeed.



This film along with Toy Story and Spirited Away set a whole new level of animation because they are very different and unusual and sometimes teaches us all about things in life. This film is my favourite Andrew Adamson film. For me, he has not done one bad film yet. This one is the best of the trilogy. The second one is awesome too but the third one is crap. I was extremely disappointed in Shrek The Third because of its lame story. This film didnt disappoint me at all. This film has become one of my favourite animated films of all time. It is one of the most pleasureable, inspiring and most delightful family films of all time. Shrek is a masterpiece of animation and deserves its rightful place there.

Home Alone is a classic phenomenon that is one of the most memorable family films that have ever been made. I can't fully remmeber whether I saw this film as a very young child or not but when I saw it around November 2007 and after a few rewatches, Home Alone turned out to be a masterpiece that is absolutely hilarious that literally made me cry with laughter. To me, Home Alone is almost a perfect family film because it is filled with magic, witty humour and wacky slapstick. It is a very clumsy story but it is perfect for a family. What I think is so funny about this film is that it's packed with slapstick and wit, it almost becomes like a magic dream. The traps that Kevin sets for Harry and Marv are so dangerous and they hurt themselves so badly like falling down the stairs, falling of buildings, slipping off ladders etc, you could just think "How are they not dead?" That is where this film becomes a slight comical film that does become quite graphic at times.


Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister is one of the most iconic child performances of all time. One thing that is still cool but is rather mindless about this film is that there is no such thing as an 8-year-old being that intelligent who oustmarts two burglars with traps, looks after himself by going shopping, washing his clothes etc. Kevin is a young boy who is the most sensitive and most dis-obedient child in the family but he is really a good kid. When he ends up in a fight with a member of his family, his mother makes him sleep upstairs in the cellar. The next morning, the whole family go on holiday and don't even notice he's not there until they're on the plane half way through their journey. Joe Pesci is absolutely fantastic in this film as crook Harry. He really does seem like the short, fat, slimey, greedy kind of person to in a film like this. Danny DeVito would have done a good job in this film too. David Stern is the other crook who attempts to break into the McCallister house called Marv. Stern is the tall skinny one which is exactly the opposite to Joe Pesci. They are both idiots but Marv is the really stupid one. Harry tries to act smart especially with Kevin but most of the time he fails. I am unsure whether Pesci and Stern perform their own stunts in this film with the traps that they are put under when playing the characters but from what I can see, they do. Another thing that is so good about Kevin's character is because he never tells his family about Harry and Marv because he pretends they never happen because they're both such idiots and pieces of entertainment for him.


Chris Columbus is a fantastic director of family films especially over the 1990s particularly in the 1990s. This was his breakthrough film. He directed the Home Alone sequel and Mrs. Doubtfire. Columbus is a genius for creating such a fantastic masterpiece! I think the best technical quality this film has is the music involved.


Home Alone is a family phenomenon that is better than the sequel but isn't far from that spot. Home Alone is Columbus' finest film. Yes, even better than Mrs. Doubtfire but only just because I do love that film. It is better than the sequel and is probably better than the third and fourth film too. Home Alone is one of my very close favourite comedy and family films. Home Alone is one of the best achieved family classics that have ever come to the screen. It is the second best Christmas film of all time after The Classic Of Classics It's A Wonderful Life. Home Alone is a beautiful, hilariously tearjerking and rather life-teaching film that I recommend to not every family but to every person on Earth.

Oh God! This film was so hilarious!!! This film cracked me up and I couldn't stop laughing. I was anticipating this film a lot because I absolutely love Borat. It is a very embarassing film to watch with colleagues because of how crude it is. Bruno is a film that can offend almost everybody. Not only was I laughing with laughter because of how funny it was but also of embarassment.


Sacha Baron Cohen is an absolutely brilliant actor who is talented and very funny! Bruno is my favourite character that he has done so far. When watching Sacha playing a gay, you won't even believe that Sacha is straight. Bruno is a gay Austrian whos ambition is to become famous in America but there's one problem: his sexuality. He always ends up doing something that is either really embarassing or really crude. He rips off people who dress like that who are gay.


Larry Charles is a good director of both Borat and Bruno who makes the audience feel like we are taking Bruno's journey as well. Larry Charles is a director that wants us to believe all of the things that go on within the film. The script is absolutely brilliant! It is just like in Borat: an original screenplay that was awesome for the comedy within it. Most comedy scripts aren't very good but the Bruno script is awesome!


Bruno is better than Borat in my opinion. Bruno is the crudest film that I have ever seen. Bruno is probably the funniest film of 2009. This is my favourite Sacha Baron Cohen film. Bruno is a film that I don't think should be watched with parents or siblings. Watch with friends or by yourself! Bruno is the funniest film I have seen in ages.

I saw the trailer of his film at the cinema and I thought it looked an absolutely fantastic film. When I saw it, I wasnt disappointed. Hot Fuzz is an extremely violent, hilarious and tense film that proves itself worthy to be one of the best British films of all time. The violence fits well within this film because the plot would make a good comic book and also we have seen the filmmaker create that sort of violence in the past with the same actors. We saw that in Shaun Of The Dead. It is rather weird because there are some sequences of violence that was unrealistic and then there were some that were very realistic. I think that is something that was purposely done. Hot Fuzz is a film that cracked me up with laughter and the action within the film made me sit so tight in my seat because it was absolute kickass! Hot Fuzz has an underrated twist that left me in shock. It is one of my favourite twists ever. This film was robbed from a lot of awards in my opinion. It should have had Golden Globe nominations for Best Picture (Musical/Comedy) and Best Actor (Musical/Comedy) for both Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.


This film has a lot of very talented British actors in it that all deliver great performances. Simon Pegg is one of my favourite British actors ever and this is the one film that made me think that. His performance as Sergeant Nicholas Angel was really hilarious and very serious which is why I think his performance was absolute top-class. In fact, I think it is one of the best leading male performances of 2007 and that was an amazing year for cinema. Simons performance in Shaun Of The Dead was absolutely brilliant too but I prefered him in this film. Nicholas Angel is an ordinary cop in London who is the greatest in the city. Because of him improving his arrest record by 400% more than any other officer in London, he is reassigned to a peaceful village called Sandford. As you watch it, Sandford isnt all that peaceful as it is supposed to be. Nick Frost was absolutely fantastic as well as Danny Butterman. I love Dannys character because he is a massive film fan particularly of action films and he dreams to be in a proper action crime scene which is where film is his inspiration. Only one problem he has: hes lazy and hes overweight. Danny is the son of Inspector Frank Butterman who lost his wife and Danny lost his mother 20 years ago. Simon and Nicks partnership in Hot Fuzz was crazier, funnier and more serious than when they were together in Shaun Of The Dead. Jim Broadbent was really good as Frank Butterman. There is a deep dark secret in the Butterman family that is about to be revealed. What I love about Jim Broadbent is that he is a serious actor who can play wacky, funny or crazy characters. Timothy Dalton was awesome as Simon Skinner who is the main suspect of the murders in Sandford. Paddy Considine and Rafe Spall were amazing as Detective Sergeant Wainwright and Detective Constable Cartwright. They were my favourite characters within the film.


Edgar Wright is one amazing filmmaker and he totally deserves to be. The camera movements were mindblowing and were unbelievably filmed. Simon Pegg worked hard on this film as well as Edgar did. I loved Edgar and Simons work in Shaun Of The Dead but even more in Hot Fuzz. I cannot wait to see their next film The Worlds End which is the final film in what Edgar and Simon like to tall the "Blood And Ice Cream" trilogy alongside Hot Fuzz and Shaun Of The Dead. The script was absolutely amazing! There are a lot of British films that have very original plots and scripts. I think it?s mostly comedy when that is the case and also films with a lot of swearing and crude language. Hot Fuzz has all of that which is why it is a brilliantly written film. Scripts and plots like this inspire me because they arent adapted from novels, plays or true stories; like they come straight out of a persons mind.


Overall, Hot Fuzz is one of my favourite comedies ever and is one of the best films of 2007 and that was a famous year for cinema. Hot Fuzz is a violent, hilarious, explosive and intense thrill ride that keptme gripped to it from start to finish.

American Pie is one of the funniest films ever made and there is no question about that. American Pie is the best teen film of all time as well and there are quite a lot of reasons for it. This film is aimed at the correct audience and it also sends the right message as well. I loved all of the characters because some of the characters are made into real life teenagers who try to do that kind of thing even though it isn't really a big deal or very serious. Unfortunately these four young guys do take it that way. American Pie has really good acting which is very rare of a teen film let alone comedies.


Seann William Scott was the best as Steve Stifler because he was hilarious and a complete careless idiot. Jason Biggs was really amazing as Jim Levenstein as well by making Jim a very realistic character. Eddie Kaye Thomas is brilliant as well. Chris Klein and Thomas Ian Nicholas are decent but not brilliant.

This film is often compared to Superbad but I don't find them similar at all apart from they're both teen films. The difference between them is that American Pie is brilliant and Superbad is crap. There will not be any better teen film like American Pie. The sequel is amazing as well, the third one is really good but the three spin-off films are absolute pieces of shit. I loved every second of this film because it kept me glued to it all the way through. To me, American Pie is a masterpiece that will never be forgotten. It is the best of the trilogy. American Pie is a hilarious teen film that deserves to be on my favourite comedies ever as well!

What I really love about Johnny English is that it is a story which is just really stupid but quite clever at the same time. It was absolutely hilarious when I saw it at the cinema in 2003 when I was 12 years old. I loved it then and still loving it now. I really hope that nobody tells me its a crap film and why do I rate it higher than some classics? At the end of the day it is one's opinion. No, I wouldn't call it a film that is one of the best of that year but a film that I just loved as entertainment nothing more. The only minor thing it had was lack of good acting which I will write about in a bit.


Rowan Atkinson is a pretty stupid actor but I do find him bloody hilarious as Johnny English because he is a character that always makes stupid and pathetic mistakes. That is where his character is similar to Bean. Yes, it's the same actor but a different character but that is where they are slightly similar. Johnny is the only agent left in MI7 that is good enough for the job because all the others were killed. It seems like he is the last person that they would want but they have no choice. One thing that Johnny has that is so important is that he is very good to England and he is very loyal to his job apart from when he disobeys his boss that one time. Johnny is a hero and an idiot. He makes mistakes by accusing the wrong people, going to the wrong place or taking the wrong object. He is a bit of a piss take of James Bond but in a good way because I really got into the Johnny English character. I liked Ben Miller as Bough but he didn't make the character very believable or very interesting. Yes, he is a bit of an idiot like Johnny is but he is more dependable than he is and he should be Johnny's boss not Johnny being his. He never really brought very much force towards who the character really is. There isn't a scene that describes Bough's personality where it does with Johnny English, Pascal Sauvage and Lorna Campbell. I thought Natalie Imbruglia was good as far as looks are concerned for Lorna but acting was pretty bad because she was very weak when approaching her lines and what she is trying to bring towards her character. It seemed like Lorna wasn't interested in saving England because of Natalie's lame acting. I thought John Malkovich was the best out of all of them because he is an American man playing a French man. John is one of the few actors who can play any sorts of characters whether they are foreign, gay, deformed/disabled etc. I think John Malkovich and Tom Hanks are the only two actors that can actually do that. When I look into John's eyes when playing the characters, it seems like he is really taking a character he is playing rather seriously and with such force. It was really awesome as Pascal Sauvage because he seems like a really friendly man to the British in the film but to Johnny English, Bough, Lorna and the audience who are watching the film knew that he was a villain and had a very sinister plan for England. Peter Howitt's directing was pretty good which did rather surprise me. The way the action scenes like the car chase and the scene within the car park was awesome.


The directing was a bit like how Martin Campbell directed Casino Royale but wasn't as good as that. The script was good but was quite lame is some ways. It was very original which is what most comedies are really like. Johnny English is nothing serious at all as far as highly ranked awards are concerned. It is just a hilarious British comedy that just wants to entertain its viewers nothing more. I love comedies to bits anyway but I especially love them from the British.


Rowan Atkinson is one of my favourite British actors and is one of the funniest actors ever I think. This is my favourite film from him and probably always will be. It isn't a masterpiece of filmmaking itself but it is a masterpiece of entertainment.

When I was going to watch this film on DVD for the first time, I had absolutely no idea what I was going to make of it but when I did see I thought it was a lovely, romantic and hilarious silent masterpiece! Modern Times takes you through a series of hilarious disasters regarding the factory worker's journey getting back involved in life after he ended up in prison. It is a very beautiful story on friendship and it makes it better that it's silent because I personally think it would have been crap if it was speaking. For example, it was a bit of a risk of Chaplin doing a speaking film which was called The Great Dictator but that turned out a great success. There is one scene where Chaplin does speak in the film and that's where the factory worker is asked to sing in a hall where he is working. I don't really laugh at old black-and-white films out loud but I think only Modern Times, City Lights, The Gold Rush and Some Like It Hot are the ones that have made me laugh out loud.

Charlie Chaplin brings back the Tramp character again in this film but once again the character doesn't have a proper name. He has a name in the outside world but not in the films the same character stars in. For example in City Lights he is called just 'a tramp', in The Gold Rush as 'The lone prospector' and Modern Times as 'the factory worker'. Chaplin was a director with an extremely rare talent for acting, dancing and also charm (in his personal life) because of what his abilities are. Chaplin has created my favourite character of my favourite character (if you get what I mean) because his character is the same in every silent film but has a different name.

Chaplin directs this film really well which isn't a big surprise to me because it is in the very early days of cinema and we cannot expect top notch filmmaking like we sometimes do see now. To be honest the old films are better but there are a lot of masterful new ones as well. There obviously isn't a script to it because it's a silent film but Chaplin just follows with the flow so to speak on what he wants himself to do and the rest of the cast within the motion picture.

Modern Times is one of my favourite comedy films of all time. It is and probably always will be my favourite Charlie Chaplin film of all time because it is just too beautiful and too hilarious to replace with another Chaplin. Modern Times is one of my ultimate films of all time as well as one of the best films of the 1930s. It is a film that named Charlie Chaplin one of my all time favourite actors too which probably won't make me name another Chaplin film better than Modern Times.

Mrs. Doubtfire has proved itself to be one of the most beautiful, heartwarming and touching films to have ever hit the screen. This is a story that helps young children understand what sort of effect divorce could have on them and what the beauty outcome really is. It teaches no matter whether your parents are together or not, whoever you live with you will truly feel like family. This film is a massive inspiration to me for the main reason about divorce because my parents divorced when I was 13 and this is the one film that made me get over that and make me truly understand how to get over divorce. It made me really understand this. The quote at the very start of my review is that quote I am talking about. That just warms and melts my heart every time I see this film. Mrs. Doubtfire is a film that is full of comedy that you could just laugh at forever with all the awkward situations and the mistakes Daniel makes when he is Mrs. Doubtfire. Well, I could anyway. Mrs. Doubtfire became a sudden blockbuster in 1993. Mrs. Doubtfire is such a loving family phenomenon that could be watched again and again and again. It is a comedy with a lot of class and with a realistic life force that can make it so realistic.


Robin Williams' performance as Mrs. Doubtfire is very unforgettable because he makes both of the characters such inspirations to people just like they did to me. Robin's performance is one of the funniest performances of all time without a single doubt in my mind. His performance as Daniel is still hilarious as Daniel because he finds life really difficult especially when he is with his 2 daughters and son in an apartment only down the road from where his ex-wife lives. Daniel is a man who has a very stressful job and he wants to take his job one step higher but that leads him into a very awkward situation later in the film especially with Mrs. Doubtfire as well. The things that I loved the most about Robin's performance as Mrs. Doubtfire was that he made her really seem like a real person even though she really wasn't and also, when Robin is Daniel he teaches not only children who have a divorced father (like me) and teaches single fathers about what it's really about. Robin makes Daniel truly see how important his children are to him. Daniel was even crazy enough to disguise himself as a woman who is twice his age. Sally Field's performance was awesome as well. She is really awesome at playing a mother because she really acts and appears like a really loving one. Pierce Brosnan was good as Miranda's boyfriend because he was like a real slime ball as well as a caring person towards the three children. Daniel hates him and when he is Mrs. Doubtfire he/she tries to manipulate him and try and break down the relationship between him and Miranda. I really loved the three young children's performances: Lisa Jakub as Lydia, Matthew Lawrence as Chris and Mara Wilson as Natalie. They are all adults now with Lisa and Matthew in their 30s and Mara in her early 20s. Top-notch child acting that was funny and very heartfelt.


Chris Columbus has always had a talent at creating family films. He has created family phenomenons Home Alone, Home Alone 2: Lost In New York and Harry Potter 1+2. Chris's directing was just amazing and that was because he made Mrs. Doubtfire such a hilarious, inspiring and very heartfelt story. The script was really fantastic as well that does touch people and make people laugh which is after all what Mrs. Doubtfire is meant to do.


Mrs. Doubtfire is definitely my favourite Robin Williams film. It is my favourite Sally Field film as well but I loved her performance in Forrest Gump just as much. Mrs. Doubtfire is one of my all-time favourite comedies with A Fish Called Wanda and Hot Fuzz. Mrs. Doubtfire is to me the comedy of the 1990s. This film is very similar to Tootsie but Mrs. Doubtfire is far better. This is one of my top 10 most inspiring films of all time and one of my top family films of all time as well. Mrs. Doubtfire is a loving film that I could watch over and over again.

Ever since I was a little child, I have always been a fan and have admired the Wallace And Gromit shorts. I was unsure about them making a Wallace And Gromit film but now after seeing this film at the cinema when I was 14, I was ever so glad that they did make this film. Wallace And Gromit In The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit and Finding Nemo are in my opinion the cleverest animated films of all time that have the coolest and funniest jokes in them. I laughed at every single second of this film! Curse Of The Were-Rabbit is another reason why I love Wallace And Gromit.


There wasn't one thing in this film that didn't have no original taste at all. It was the same old Wallace and Gromit that we knew in the three shorts. Wallace and Gromit don't only live together but they work together as well. The neighbourhood are having rabbit problems due to a Giant Vegetable Competition coming up. They are called "Anti-Pesto" who try and stop rabbits ravaging at the vegetables before the competion. After Wallace's new and latest invention that he tries to join together to brainwash the rabbits minds against vegetables so that they wouldn't no longer eat vegetables goes wrong that changes the course of the film. This film has a few awesome British actors who have made a name for themselves in the past but have once again in this masterpiece! Peter Sallis' voice has always been literally perfect for Wallace. Ralph Fiennes provides the voice of Wallace's enemy Victor Quartermaine. Victor is a hunter who is obsessed with what he does. He is trying to lure himself into Lady Tottington's good books so he can marry her and take her fortune. Basically, wants to marry her because she is rich. Victor starts to become jealous when he notices Wallace getting into a personal relationship with her. Victor has a dog called Phillip who is Gromit's enemy. Victor always calls himself a tough guy but really he is an absolute idiot! Helena Bonham Carter provides the voice of Lady Companula Tottington. She lives at Tottington Hall which is where the Giant Vegetable Competition is due to take place. She is Wallace's love interest. Peter Kay, Nicholas Smith and Liz Smith give out hilarious voices as other characters in this film.


Nick Park did an absolutely fabulous job with this film because he made the plot of this film very childish but very adult at the same time because it did become quite scary. Despite how scary it would be for kids, the constant comedy within the film helped it carry on brilliantly! I have always been inspired by Nick Park because of his creative art not only to animation but also to childrens programmes. His work on Chicken Run was awesome as well even though that was a bit of a spoof of the classic film The Great Escape. The script was absolutely brilliant!! There was obviously very childish quotes but it flowed well with the film and it is something that I think most adults appreciated. The script of the film that features the jokes in this film was absolutely brilliant!


Wallace And Gromit In The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit is the cleverest animated film of all time. It is the best animated film of 2005 and that is a fact! I love Chicken Run but I love this film more in every way! Wallace And Gromit In The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit is one of my very close favourite animated films as well as one of the best films of 2005. In my opinion, this is a landmark of animation alongside Toy Story, Spirited Away, Finding Nemo and The Lion King and it totally deserves to be!

Some Like It Hot is an absolutely hilarious comedy that is without a doubt one of the best of all time. It is a bright hearted film with comedy involving men dressing up as women. To me, Some Like It Hot is like the original version of Tootsie and Mrs. Doubtfire. I loved this film all the way through and I don't think there was one single moment in the film that didn't make me laugh. It is one of the rare old comedies of the past that actually made me laugh-out-loud. Some Like It Hot can be for a family as well as adults and teenagers because it has that hilarious humour, silliness and rather wacky behaviour that the characters are.

This is the first film from every single cast member. Jack Lemmon's performance as Jerry/'Daphne' was absolutely fantastic. His performance is rather similar to Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman's performances in Mrs. Doubtfire and Tootsie. Tony Curtis was hilarious as well as Joe/'Josephine'. Joe and Jerry are two struggling musicians who witness what looks like the Saint Valentine's Day massacre 1929. Due to this, they both flee for their lives. The only way they would hide their identity is by becoming part of a girl-band and dressing themselves up as women. Once there, they both change their names and they become good friends with 'Sugar' Kane Kowalczyk. Joe/'Josephine' is closer to 'Sugar' than Jerry/'Daphne' is because he has a crush on 'Sugar' and he ends up in awkward situations where he has to be in two places at once but with being those two different people. The legendary Marilyn Monroe's performance as 'Sugar' Kane Kowalczyk was an absolutely typical character for her to play because by only hearing the nickname she has it is a real sexy nickname in which Monroe was before she died. She died only 3 years after Some Like It Hot was released. Monroe died tragically of a drug overdose on 5th August 1952 and has since then become an ultimate sex symbol. Some people think that Scarlett Johansson is the present Marilyn Monroe. In a slight way, she sort of is because she's blonde, an ultimate sex symbol and is a rather popular actress but I seriously hope Johansson doesn't die like Monroe did. All three actors within Some Like It Hot are absolutely fantastic in which I was expecting anyway even though I hadn't seen any of them in a film before until I saw it.

Billy Wilder had a fantastic talent at creating films with different tastes, genres, themes, characters etc but all in black-and-white. Billy Wilder goes from disturbing (Double Indemnity and Sunset Boulevard) to hilarious in this masterful, perfect comedy. Some Like It Hot is my favourite Billy Wilder film and probably always will be. Wilder was a director that I think everybody would expect an ultimate masterpiece from and from the films that I have seen so far from him have all been masterpieces of its kind. The script was hilarious with the lady humour and the very clever story. It is a script that I personally believe cannot be better written regarding transvestite films.

This film won 1 Oscar out of 6 nominations. It won Best Costume Design (Black-And-White). It was nominated for Best Leading Actor (Jack Lemmon) but lost to Charlton Heston in Ben-Hur, Best Director (Billy Wilder) but lost to William Wyler in Ben-Hur, Best Adapted Screenplay but lost to Room At The Top, Best Cinematography (Black-And-White) but lost to The Diary Of Anne Frank and Best Art Direction (Black-And-White) but lost to The Diary Of Anne Frank. It won all 3 Golden Globes it was nominated for: Best Picture Comedy, Best Actor Musical/Comedy (Jack Lemmon) and Best Actress Musical/Comedy (Marilyn Monroe).

Some Like It Hot is one of the funniest films of all time that I laughed at from start to finish, it is the best film from late legendary director Billy Wilder, it is one of the best films of the 1950s. I personally think it should have been a contender for Best Picture 1959. Overall, Some Like It Hot is an absolutely amazing hilarious comedy that I could watch quite regularly and have loved and always will love for the rest of my life. Masterpiece!!

I know that most people think it's a pile of crap but I think it is a very enjoyable entertaining film. I think Mr. Bean's Holiday is one of my biggest guilty pleasures because deep down I know it's crap but I can't help but find it hilarious. What I think it so good about it is that it always keeps you laughing all the way from the start right to the very end of the film. It feels like the humour within the film never lets go until the ending credits roll up. Sometimes, I feel embarassed that I like this film but it is bloody hilarious! I have watched it numerous times. It is a very stupid plot obviously but an enjoyable one at the same time.


Rowan Atkinson is an idiot but is one hilarious actor. One thing that I think was very different that not many people like about this one is that Bean actually talks whereas he doesn't at all in the original Bean movie. Well he mumbles most of the time in this one and the other one but has a few moments in Mr. Bean's Holiday of talking. Rowan Atkinson was fantastic as Johnny English. I love that film but I have to say he's awesome as Bean. Seeing Rowan portray Bean is one of those things where people will be unsure whether Rowan was good or absolutely crap. That's the trouble playing really clumsy witty characters. Jim Carrey playing witty, idiotic characters is another one especially in Dumb And Dumber and Me, Myself And Irene. The young boy in this film was really good. When you see him in girls clothes in the film, he really does look like a girl especially an Asian or just a really tanned dark haired girl.


Most people think that the directing was absolutely appalling but I don't think it was that bad as a matter of fact. It seemed to be a bit like cheap filmmaking but I thought the directing where the screen was the view of a video camera was absolutely incredible! I really do appreciate this film for being what it is not beause it is crap.


Mr. Bean's Holiday is crap but I really like it which is why it is my biggest guilty pleasure of all time. Rowan Atkinson is a hilarious guy but a total idiot when it comes to playing idiot characters. Mr. Bean's Holiday is one of the funniest films of 2007. It isn't that far from reaching my favourite comedies either. There are three simple words that explain my whole review: "crap but hilarious."

God! I love Austin Powers! I think that The Spy Who Shagged Me is one of the few films that cracked me up! This second film is the funniest one of the trilogy because it is a rather extraordinary one that has absolutely hilarious characters. It really made me laugh a lot! This is a rather unusual series but is just absolutely hilarious and very original within its genre. The Spy Who Shagged Me is a sequel to International Man Of Mystery but the second film shows us something different. This is the crudest and most graphic (sexual way) Austin Powers film of the trilogy which is why it is the best of the trilogy.


Mike Myers cracks me up as Austin Powers. Mike Myers is Austin Powers and it's that easy. What is so good about Austin Powers' character is that Austin is a very ugly man but literally every woman find him irresistable. Also, he is obsessed with sex. Austin is happily married to Vanessa Kesington. They are on their honeymoon until Austin discovers that Vanessa was a fembot all along. Mike Myers was hilarious as Dr. Evil once again. He isn't a fearful villain and that is the purpose of the character. He is a stupid villain that just tries to be evil but is laughably evil. He was hilarious as Fat Bastard who is the same kind of voice that Mike Myers uses for Shrek. Seth Green really makes me laugh as well as Scott Evil. He acts such an idiot who tries to live a normal life but has an evil father who treats him like an heir to take over the world. Verne Troyer is hilarious as Mini-Me. We never hear him speak. He is definitely the best choice for this film.


Jay Raoch is an absolutely awesome director at creating comedy series. He did Meet The Parents and Meet The Fockers and the entire Austin powers trilogy. Raoch is a director who has a lot of talent in comedies. The script from Mike Myers was absolutely awesome! Every single scene made me laugh!


Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is an absolutely hilarious film that I absolutely loved when I was younger but still love it now! It is one of the few films that literally cracked me up in a hilarious way. It is my favourite Mike Myers film which makes The Spy Who Shagged Me the best of the Austin powers trilogy. 1999 is the best year in cinema of all time and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is another reason why it is the best year ever!!

"Welcome to the Ice Age!"

Starring: Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Queen Latifah
Running time: 94 minutes

I was really nervous about seeing this one because the timeline of the story was a bit wrong but it made sense in the end. In real-life, dinosaurs really liked millions of years before the Ice Age. In this film, the dinosaurs still lived but was underneath the Ice Age living underneath in a different world. Also, because I find Ice Age very similar to Shrek. I hated the third Shrek film so I was hoping that I wouldn't hate Ice Age 3. When I saw it, I absolutely loved it!! It stayed in exactly the same place as far as kind of humour is concerned. I have to say that this is the funniest of the trilogy but doesn't have the best story of the trilogy. Ice Age 3 is such a clever film to watch with the very childish dialogue. This film literally made me laugh so much that it really hurt. That feeling is really great and really horrible at the same time. This one had a lot of clever human sceneries in it like the little Ice Age playground and the "mummy" moments when it comes to Sid. This film literally cracked me up! The experience of watching this film in 3D was an absolute delight as was watching Coraline in 3D too.


Manny and the gang are back! Manny and Ellie are having a baby and they have a lot of things against them first for them to be a happy family. Manny is preparing the best he can to be a father but has to get through Sid first. Sid becomes more annoying than ever in this one which makes me laugh the most about him. Sid is almost exactly the same kind of character as Donkey from Shrek. Sid is my favourite character from the film and is one of my favourite animated characters of all time! Diego is in a awkward situation due to Ellie's pregnancy and that he doesn't feel like being part of a family. Scrat is after the nut once again but new character Scraté is after it as well. Scrat becomes involved with Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie etc in quite a few scenes that are part of the story. New character Buck is a weasel who is a lot like Puss In Boots from Shrek. Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Queen Latifah and Seann William Scott returned to voice Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie, Crash and Eddie. Simon Pegg joins the cast in the third film as the voice of Buck.


Carlos Saldanha returns as director and did a great job once again as he did in the second film. The humour is just absolutely hilarious that isn't over the top and isn't too childish either. The humour is the one thing that makes Ice Age almost the same as Shrek. This one does teach about family and how powerful friendship and love really is. Ice Age 3 is a combination between two ages of the world that does look like a messed up timeline because the Ice Age was millions of years after the dinosaurs lived but it did make sense.



Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs is the funniest of the trilogy but it isn't the best. I like this one more than the first one but still prefer the second one. I have now decided that Ice Age is better than Shrek because I love all three Ice Age films but only love Shrek 1 and 2 because I hate Shrek The Third. This will be one of the best films of 2009 which doesn't really seem like a great year for cinema. Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs is an absolutely hilarious film that I would watch over and over again when it comes out on DVD.

The sequel surprised me because there are some sequels in family films that aren't very good but this one was really good. One thing where I enjoyed this one but not as much as the first one was pretty much the whole plot was the same all over again with almost the exact same events occuring. I think that is where some people might not be that fond of this one because of the plot being pretty much the same. I think that is something that most people love about the Home Alone series like every time it is experienced on TV, it must be a hilarious yet quite scary experience in real life. The endings of both films are pretty much the same but in different environments and different problems but Kevin still has the same problem. The only difference is that it is Kevin is in Manhattan New York and has to look after himself and also some of the traps that Kevin sets up for Harry and Marv are quite different too whereas there are very few that are the same. If they were all the same, the film would've been an ultimate failer. If they made it slightly different, it could have been a bit better than the first one but because it was pretty much the same of everything as the first one it didn't seem as brilliant. It is a wacky coincidence that in all of the Home Alone films that the main child character in the film gets lost or goes missing every Christmas. Like I said in my review of this first film: The traps that Kevin sets for Harry and Marv are so dangerous and they hurt themselves so badly like falling down the stairs, falling of buildings, slipping off ladders etc, you could just think "How are they not dead?" The stunts and traps in this one are more dangerous because there is fire used, lots of tins and a lot of falling too.


Macaulay Culkin's return as Kevin was a fantastic one. He is still playing that over-intelligent young child who seems to know everything. Sometimes, he doesn't even seem to be real because of the unusual intelligence of the child at such a young age. It seems like it's a person with a 10-year-old body but the brain of a 17/18-year-old. Just like before, he wasn't that bothered when he lost his family again but as time drags on and especially when Harry and Marv come into the picture he begins to really miss them and wish they were with him. Culkin was 10-years-old in the first film but is 12-years-old in the second film but to be perfectly honest he doesn?t look or behave any different and neither does the Kevin character. Just like in the first film, there is someone Kevin becomes freaked out by at the start but when he speaks to them properly he becomes good friends with them. It was Marley in the first one and the Bird Lady who both help Kevin fight off Harry and Marv in each of the films. Joe Pesci and David Stern return once again as Harry and Marv. I worked it out that David Stern is exactly a foot taller than Joe Pesci. They both remind me a lot of Horace and Jasper in 101 Dalmatians: one short and fat and the other really tall and skinny. Harry's surname is Lime. Harry Lime is a very famous character in the classic film The Third Man. Marv's surname is Merchants. We find out their surnames in the sequel not in the first film. Catherine O'Hara made another irritating return as Kate McCallister.


Chris Columbus directs another brilliant Home Alone film and doesn't fail in the slightest. I am glad that Columbus only directed the first two because if he directed the third and fourth without Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, David Stern and Catherine O'Hara starring it, I think that Columbus' great works of the Home Alone films would have been a massive waste.


Home Alone 2: Lost In New York is another brilliant Home Alone film that I really enjoyed but isn't as good as the first one. The first one is better than the second by about a mile. Home Alone 2: Lost In New York is a really exciting, hilarious sequel to a family phenomenon that I really enjoyed watching.

For some reason I like this one more than the first one because I loved the characters within it. Also, there are more characters involved and is in my opinion more of a deep story than the previous one. To me, this film resembles a lot from Shrek 2 because Manny has a similar sort of personality as Shrek. They both appear grumpy and miserable but once you get to know who they really are they both have a big heart and a very emotional side. I find Sid very funny as usual and at the same time a very irritating character in a good way of course. He is a lot like Donkey because of the sweet and kind attitude and particularly how annoying Sid is with Manny just like Donkey is with Shrek. I think it would be pretty funny to see Sid and Donkey in a film together as it would be for Manny and Shrek. It was really cleverly done as far as the jokes are concerned which was so awesome about this film. I love John Leguizamo's voice because he talks in a duck-like lisp with Sid. His voice connects perfectly with Sid's character. John truly has one of the wierdest voices that I have ever heard.



Ray Romano and Denis Leary make a fantastic return as Mammoth Manny and Sabre-Tooth tiger Diego. New characters Mammoth (self-called) Ellie who is voiced by Queen Latifah typically. Her two menacing possum "brothers" Crash and Eddie who are voiced by Seann William Scott and Josh Peck. I think Crash is a really character for Seann because Crash is a real troublemaker which is what Seann is like in American Pie trilogy and Road Trip. When Crash calls Manny a "pervert" that is something that Seann William Scott would say. The script was good but I did think that it was a very predictable story.



It is like I sort of knew what was going to happen even before I saw the film for the first time and also while I was watching it at the cinema in 2006. It is better than the first film in my opinion even though I do still really like the first one a lot. My second favourite animated film of 2006 after Monster House and it is one of the funniest films of 2006 and one of the funniest animated films of all time too. It is a bit overrated but it is one of the funniest animated film of all time.
