"Bright, young people. That's what they call you. Well, I guess one of out three isn't bad." Bright Young Things is one of the lightest things I've seen in quite a while. It is not serious at all, nor does it take itself seriously. Its flinty, funny, and irreverent. I was curious to see how Stephen Fry would in the director's chair, and he is really rather good. Plus, there is an incredible lineup; with James McAvoy, David Tennant, Jim Broadbent, Michael Sheen, and so many others. I really would never want to watch this again, but it really is great fun to watch once.

Observe and Report is probably one of the most over-scrutinized films around. Just about everything I had read about it said that it was very modern and stylish (or attempted to be) or that it was completely satirical and whatnot. Honestly though, I did not see any differance between this and any other hollywood comedy on the shelf. Its lewd and raunchy, and crude- not particuarly funny, but crude. I guess, I was willing to give this a shot, but shouldn't have. Personally, I thought it sucked. It wasn't funny or well done, and Seth Rogen is it (Yuk!). So, regardless its not my type of thing. However, I'm sure pleanty of people like it, and there's not anything wrong with that. Really, if there wasn't, there are an awful lot of actors that would be out of jobs; and who wants that?
