Feel Good Flicks

An absolutely utterly charming, fun movie. Australia's Joel Edgerton helps carry this movie to its delightful ending. Goes to show that Drag Queens have style when it comes to fashion. Hehe!!

Another great British made comedy. The all star cast helps bring this Christmas Love tale to a delightful end. Great feel and up lifting to the end.

Just a lot of fun.. :)

Fun reworking of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" Heath Ledger showed us his potential here in this fun fab ride through teenage love.

A great coming of age/clash of culture flick. The two female leads are bright and spunky, and bring a freshness to the story, which helps move it along nicely. Nice mix of comedy/drama, with a happy ending that doesnt get drowned in saccharine. Perfect.

Not overly fabulous, but still enjoyable through its likeable leads. Doesnt take itself seriously, which is why it works so well. Like, whatever!!

An enjoyable and fun movie. Reece and Mark have a nice chemistry which makes this movie work just nicely.

Great, fun loving, funny frolic through the life of Shakespeare. Great use of his works to add spice to the story. Joseph Fiennes...mmm yes please.

Very gritty and emotionally charged movie. The background plot added drama to the story, and very well acted. Jamie Bell is exceptional as Billy.

Great movie.. a lot of fun. Cameron is a doll.

This one is good to watch every now and again. Its a great fun movie, and Julia Roberts and Richard Gere certainly have a great chemistry together.

Great sequel...the same team are on board to bring us a fabulous fun time. Depp once again walks a thin line between vaudeville and camp with his Captain Jack Sparrow. Orlando makes us swoon all over again, and Keira is feisty once again as Elizabeth. Quite obviously the middle of a trilogy, as the ending clearly lets us believe there is more to come. A great outing!!

Heath Ledger once again shows his style in this rather upbeat romp. The settings in Venice are sumptuous and beautiful. Great time to be had all round.

Sandra Bullock shines in this witty comedy about going under cover in a Beauty Pagaent. Fun to be had all round. Great cameo appearances from Candice Bergen.

One of Robin Williams' best moments. A great comedy/family with a hell of a lot of heart.

Another great Reece classic. This movie doesnt take itself seriously at all..and begs you to partake in the fun on offer. Get ready for the Bend & Snap lesson.

Keanu & Sandra combine once again for a great flick. A little slow moving, but keeps you in for 95% of the time. Worth watching.

Another great Jim Carrey success. This was one his early pieces, and this one is a lot of fun to watch.

Yep, another movie with the definite Jim Carrey stamp. Not much of an intricate plot, but hey who needs one when you're havin so much fun?

That Culkin kid!! Seems like an age ago that this was out. It seems a little dated now, but still alot of fun. It's great to see a young kid having fun defending his home.

A gem!! This dysfunctional family get right to your heart and you are carried along with this fun, black comedy. Toni Collette is just right in her role as the stressed out mother trying to cope with a madcap family roadtrip. Steve Carell and Greg Kinnear are also perfect in their respective roles. I couldnt stop laughing at the end..it was chaotic fun. Well recommended.

Sweet and a little warm and fuzzy. This is another typical Adam Sandler movie where Adam plays the nice guy. Drew Barrymore plays her character with a wide-eyed innocence appropriate to her character. Enjoyable enough.

Uma Thurman plays her character for laughs, and it works. This is a very entertaining flick. Luke Wilson is fantastic as the male lead. Some good laughs had along the way.

Reasonably enjoyable flick. Gwynneth isnt one of my favourite actresses, but she does a good job in this one. Its not exactly a brainstormer, just a easy flowing fun movie. Great to see Candice Bergen in a very tongue-in-cheek role.

Quite fluffy, but very entertaining because of the 3 leading men...Joseph, Rufus and Tom. The whole romantic "triangle" thing makes it funny, and a comedy of errors. Worth looking for.

Comedy seems to be Ashton's forte, and he proves here with Just Married. This is basically a no brainer...just leave ur troubles at the door kind of movie. Sit back, relax, and have a few good belly laughs along the way. Good fun.

Adam Sandler is tops here once more, giving us a comedy movie with a bit of a message. Nothing too fantastic, but still enjoyable enough. One of these "what if" kind of situations...what if you could fast forward thru the worst parts of your life, or mute your annoying dog, and so on. The warning here is, do this and you miss the best part of your life...time with your family.

I ended up catching this on TV one time, and found myself enjoying this immensely. Jack Black is so funny, and plays this for laughs and also passion. I dont know why I originally put "not interested" as a rating....I liked this one.

This is a very upbeat movie for a depressed world. I would say that Steve Carell's presence stops this from becoming cheesy schmaltz. His steady emotional pallette gives this movie the much needed passion and substance. Great supporting cast, including John Goodman, and a cast of thousands (the animals). Good stuff indeed.

Delightful and breezy, this movie is a fine antidote to the worries of the world. Amelie lives in her own world of imagination and innocence, and through her, other people's lives are changed around her. Joyful and poignant this is a damn fine flick. Audrey Tautou is an excellent casting choice.

Uproariously hilarious, moves at a cracking pace, the laughs are many. The ensemble cast all work well together, bouncing off each other to bring us an extremely entertaining comedy of errors. Top notch!!!

This is wonderfully upbeat and quirky. Two lovers (Delpy and Goldberg) spend two days in Paris and finally get to see where their relationship is heading. Jack has to deal with Marion's crazy family, and her swathe of past lovers (seemingly so). It's a non stop cavalcade of laughs and one liners...from start to finish.

Just simply a good uplifting rollicking good time to be had with this movie. It borders on the chick flick line, but with a little more depth than ur usual garden variety chick flick. The set up is fun, and the cast seem to be having fun with it, with a flow on effect to the audience. Great dresses, and just damned fun.

Slow building, but the end result is quite well paced. Nicholson and Freeman work well together as two men with terminal cancer who decide to go out with a bang, and enjoy their last days. However, the story runs deeper, and the emotional thread is quite strong, and the bond these two men develop is worth the entry price alone.

A top fun flick. Simon Pegg has finally hit his stride here, producing a fantastic funny movie that doesnt let up for the whole 90 odd minutes. Kirsten Dunst and Jeff Bridges also make great supporting parts. The script is tight and witty, the story moves smoothly without a hitch. A great entertaining movie.

The dishy James Marsden stars in this slightly loopy flick...with appearances from Michael J Fox, Christopher Lloyd and Gary Oldman. This movie makes you think about how you live your life by your own terms, and believing in your dreams. Slightly twisted and comical, it takes us through a part of America on a highway that doesnt exist in reality!!

This was just the best ive seen for ages. I was hooked from the very start...the storyline moves at a cracking pace, with flashbacks and everything all seamlessly segueing into each other. The rather gorgeous lead keeps us interested with his story of how he appears on "Millionaire" and is made out to be a cheater...but is he?? Brilliant!!

Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson turn in a great team performance as two brides who battle to have their day. Easily paced, with some hialrious moments along with some very touching ones too. In the end, its about two friends who end up staying that way despite their differences. Enjoyable.

Stunningly funny and witty. The rather cute lead had me in from the start, and the always gorgeous James Marsden also was a reason to watch. Seth Green's medium sized cameo is a laugh and a half. Great coming of age/love/friends-over-lovers themes all mixed together. I had a hoot watching.

This is a belly laugh affair. Loved it..the whole story snowballs into a frenzy of laughs at the end. Great interaction from the leads, especially Kate Hudson, Jason Biggs, and Dane Cook. This is good stuff!!

Its the battle between black and white, and family when Theresa takes her white boyfriend Simon to meet her parents. Her father does all he can to try and stop her from seeing him. As Percy gets to know Simon, things are smoothed out within the family and all live quite happily. Very well done, and all leads mix well together, lots of laughs to be had. Great fun.

Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson is starting to show his acting straps here, and the premise is simple...bigtime footy star has to learn about fatherhood, and about keeping his image intact as well. Great fun is had all round..with a decent screenplay that doesnt get too cheesy. Great work from the support cast.

This is a fabulous piece of cinema. Based on the true events of the late 60's in England where a whole lot of illegal radio stations set up in the North Seas. This is funny, dramatic, tender, whimsy....everything all rolled together. Top scripts, never misses a beat. Once again the ensemble cast all work well together, standouts being Bill Nighy, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Kenneth Brannagh and mention should go to Tom Sturridge as the young man thrust into a crazy debauched world!! Stunning ending...the movie pays tribute to the passion of the early DJ's who really cared about what they played.

What looks like a typical teen flick turns out to be a rather intelligent modern take on the Snow White and Seven Dwarves fairy tale. Very witty dialogue, with very easy on the eyes leads (including Matt Long - mmmm...he can be my Prince Charming anyday). I enjoyed this from start to finish....it may be a little "leave-your-brain-at-home" but hell...why the hell not...this is just a great fun flick to watch.
