I actually quite enjoyed it :) Watched it today ... quite a good storyline to it, or maybe it was just me having a chick flick kind of day?!

Just finished watching this! What a heart warming story!! A bit slow to start.. But it sucked me right in!! Beautiful acting by beautiful actresses. Just what the world needs right now, a bit of hope!

A Big Giant crappy remake of Kung Fu Panda .... my son enjoyed it none the less ... but it is just a rehash with different characters ... so far a similar story line...

Bought this for my collection ... it was VERY anticipated in our household .. and I can say it was VERY disappointing!! Sooo predictable and didn't have me on the edge of my seat like the first. The acting felt like a hack job the second time around ... Maybe it is just me? *sigh*

For a sequel it was ok but no movie is ever as good as the first! Kids enjoyed it :) Had the pleasure of watching it in 3D definitely worth it :)

I quite liked it even though it felt like it was just a newer version of Nacho Libre (very predictable) ... Same sort of storyline. But overall enjoyable.

LOL! Huge cast can't believe a few of them put their name to it to be honest ... But it was funny.... Bit same old, same old and a bit predictable ... but a few good laughs!! I didn't turn it off so it can't have been that bad! :)

Loved it!! What a gorgeous storyline.

Was a bit overrated ... Especially for someone with a music/singing background... Definitely aimed at a younger audience swept up in the whole glee movement! ... A few funnies but overall I probably wouldn't buy it for my collection. Not many extras with blue ray .. just a little bit crisper ...

After reading that it was an aussie movie I have the compulsory 30 minute clause to give it a chance lol ... I watched the whole thing .. And after watching it ... I am really not sure why .... It was set up as if they were 1970s/80s family and they have all the mod cons like a wii lol .... utterly confusing .. but a few little laughs ... It really is a 50/50 kind of movie ... sorry for the dodgy review!!
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
I didn't watch it ... but my 5 year old said it was a bit scary ... but then asked to watch it again so it couldn't have been that bad lol
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Very Good Cop / Bad Cop ... storyline gets a bit confusing ... but overall better than some movies I have seen lately!!
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Alot of decent stars with a poor script ... That is the best way to describe it ... Probably wouldn't go out of my way to watch it again even though there are a couple of funny parts, it really doesn't warrant a second look!
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Was a bit disappointed ... when selecting it I must have skipped over the animated bit in the title lol ... thought we were going to be watching old school bean!!! :( ... Moderately entertaining anyway
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
*Yawn* ... Made it about 20 minutes in before I got BORED!!!
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
One of those typical teenage "oh my god we swapped powers movies" .... Ooops sorry .. *spoiler alert* haha
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Random ..... kept me captivated enough to keep watching however ... I am really not sure what to say about it ... except I can't believe bruce willis agreed to the part he played ... was quite unusual for him.
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
A bit predictable ... But it was nice to see some good names in the casting!!!
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Bit corny ... bit of a laugh ... excellent twist :)
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Hillarious!!! Well worth the wait ... definitely boy humour
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Loved it!!! Based on a true story ... very heart warming and Drew as always shines
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Wouldn't watch again ... very very boring!!!!
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Wow ... crazy violence .. I think I got about 20 minutes in before having to turn it off on both occasions ... Definitely not one to watch until the kiddies are in bed
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
A little bit typical you can tell the story lines are just going through the motions now ... Kids enjoyed it and it had a couple of adult one liners but apart from that ... It is a good movie if you want to keep the kids quiet while you do some housework.
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
After waiting sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Long to get this ... we are talking months and months ... I watched the first 20 mins and then proceeded to jump in the shower to wash my hair ... Its really really bad acting (sorry snoop plse don't hunt me down!!)
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
I really loved this movie ... a bit slow to start ... but got sucked right in!!!
(Excellent) - review by Melanie

Lacks a story line which is unfortunate - what is there is very basic ... Good for a bit of a perve not much else.

Awesome rockumentary ... and if you didn't like her music before gives you a good insight as to what makes her & her music unique
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Amazing <3 ... We are a Peter Pan / Tinker bell family and the 3D is pretty good :) kids were mesmerized
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
I don't remember watching past the first 20 mins ....
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Thought it would be a little more comedic with seth rogan ... but it It is realistic and really makes you think!
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
**Kid Friendly** Not that many quips for the adults ... but we did go out and buy it after to add to the kiddy collection If you compare it to other Dr suess it doesn't really compare to cat in the hat etc ...
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Didn't see the end coming .... It was well written and casted ... Seems a bit boring but if you stick with it , will definitely slowly suck you in ...
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
The first half an hour saw most of the action/comedy .... Really seemed to drag and be a bit predictable after that ... It's ok .. but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it personally
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
What girl wouldn't try sitting through a channing tatum flick .... maybe he should stick to his light hearted rom coms etc?! Storyline is a bit confusing ... but its ok ...
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
For the amount of celebs in it I thought the script might be a bit better ... but in saying that its ok ... don't get me wrong had a few laughs a little bit of rom com and a little bit of light adventure
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Got really really really bored and turned it off about 2/3rds the way through ... Cannot believe Bruce put his name to this!?!
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Wow .... Finally her doing a serious role ... It was a little a bit predicable ... but breathtaking!
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Feels like a mish mash of every other action movie I have scene ...
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Very drawn out plot ... took a while to get through it ... but it was worth sticking it out til the end... probably wouldn't add this to the personal dvd stash though :S
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
You come to expect excellence from Jason Statham ... And you get that in this excellent movie with Robert De Niro to boot!
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
A bit strange ... A bit funny... A bit predictable ... Overall it was ok ... but I wouldn't buy it to watch again :)
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
A bit slow to start ... And the characters seem a bit over the top cliche but it was a good decent storyline!
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
I really thought for an Adam Sandler movie I was in for a laughter riot ... Its one I can easily say I would not buy to add to my personal stash of DVDs ... Bit disappointing... But you get that sometimes :(
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
It was funny in parts ... It is probably not something I would go out of my way to buy and add to my dvd collection but certainly worth a look... I think parents would relate better than pple without kids :)
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Pretty good .... Movie had my 4 year old in stitches!!
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Yep well said .... It's a giant musical ... For all the hype I wasn't really a fan!!! :(
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
Yeah not really worth it played in the background ... was a good conversation starter lol
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Different... A very drawn out storyline .. a few giggles but not really a gut wrenching comedy...
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Excellent Lots of lol moments!!! Jonah hill is definitely the next adam sandler of this generation.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
Really well done :o) ... perfect movie if your doing the whole first time dinner movie date at home ... A bit for everyone .. certainly a few good diaphragm excercising laughs!
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
Pleasantly suprised. Well worth a watch. Actually quite an entertain plot. However not to be watched with kids and a bit Gorey.
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Suprised Olivia Newton-John and a few of the other actors put their name to this script. To compare it to bridesmaids I don't think so, maybe the credit roll call? lol Pretty pathetic. Had a few laughs but felt like they were over the top and cliche just to get the laugh. *sigh* whats with all the crappy movies.
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
Didn't really enjoy it enough to write an amazing review, its a filler movie lol.
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
WTF ... no seriously?! what was this movie about??? it's not a rom com ... It's a weird weird random movie!!! arrrrgh .. what is with all the bad top picks lately lol
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
ONE WORD....... RANDOM! ... ummm not for kiddies ... bit of a weird plot, seems to have been made in aus ... so very loose everything really! lol
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Wow ... I remember putting the DVD in ... I remember sitting on the couch ... I remember snippets of someone walking down a street.... And thats it ... :oS ... maybe one for a sunday when you have a hangover and secretly need more sleep. LOL
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Wow ok well I don't even know how I ended up with this movie ... Its about internationa Irish dancing competitions lol .... If you want something to put you to sleep on a quiet weekend then this is your movie. Unless of course your enthralled with Irish dancing as a competitive sport then by all means you will probably give it 5 stars. Sad to say only 1-2 from me.
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Can't honestly say I watched it from beginning to end. Didn't quite suck me in so I was a little disappointed considering all the rave reviews but I'm the kind of girl that if I am not sucked in within the first 30 it really doesn't grow on me. Gave it an extra 20 and still nothing. Brilliant acting though, just found the script a little boring. :o)
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Very good cop bad cop. Hate to say it but she is a little unbelievable in the role, but saw it through to the end and it was mildly entertaining.
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Recently just got back from taking my 4 yo to disneyland ... needless to say he is obsessed with mickey mouse ... he LOVED them ... which I am glad cos I used to love them as a child too :o)
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
Wow!!! Watched it twice this weekend... Absolutely absorbed b y the story line both times. Definitely one for the collection. A little heavy on the emotions side. And the kids aspergers ( which test came inconclusive lol) held you back from balling your eyes out. Very well written and compelling. Can't wait to see more well written movies about this Tragic event. Cannot even begin to comprehend what these people feel. <3
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
Excellent as when I watched it as a teenager lol would watch
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
Kids loved it!!! Have to go out and buy a keepsie copy now lol
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Time in my life that I can never get back!! lol
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
Actually enjoyed this movie, went out and bought it, keeps you thinking til the end!! Went into it not knowing who zac effron was ... so glad I didn't cos otherwise I probably would not have watched it!! lol
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Its true .. channing is mesmerising ... but not really thought out well plot wise ... and leaves an open ending which I HATE ... If you want a half assed film cos you have nothing left to put in your queue then this is the movie for you lol
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Awwww ... slow to start but you slowly get sucked into the characters and into the story <3
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
I really enjoyed the way the film was made, you either love it or hate it, I love how everything she touched brought back yet another memory, clearly though if you don't understand the concept through her looking glass its not going to interest you... it's true ....It used to be about making a difference. Now its about making themselves into someone. Sad truths.
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Really good movie, thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Its a think movie... and actually sent me on a bit of an emotional journey ... just makes you think .. life could ALWAYS be worse ...
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Blatantly the Reviews speak for themselves. I persisted 40 mins in, I saw a few big stars and I don't understand why they would put their name to it unless it was all done in post production... I kind of got where they were going with it ... through an innocents eyes .. but seriously It was soo boring that I turned it off because it was making me sleepy. 18 mins on the big bang and evolution through cinematography ... YAWN! Is it bad to say I fast forwarded through it ??!!
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Just as good as when I watched it 20 years ago .. and my 4 year old son Loves it to the point of me having to search on the net to get a copy for him LOL ...
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
Buh-Bow!!! ... alot of B grade celebrities that are always supporting or backing roles ... FOR A REASON so it seems lol *sigh* 2 hours of my life that its not even worth fighting to get back
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Got a bit lost in the plot, watched it a second time and it was just as confusing, only watch if you intend on seeing it through with no distractions lol
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
Watched it yesterday!!! excellent adaptation of a old fairytale ... Loved every minute!!!
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
Many a happy childhood memory revisited .. we bought this one and had to leave it a few stars .. kids will love it .. especially if they are enthralled with animals ... one for the kids and the adults to reminisce
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
Family favourite ... We personally own this one ... can't wait til its unlocked from the vault again so I can get it on blue ray <3 My 4 year old loves it .. and has a new obsession with pirates since being introduced to it... seriously who doesn't have a good disney memory
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
Its disney .. whats not to love!!! .. handpainted PERFECT classic <3
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
If you dont stick around to the end the movie will seem pointless .. I was bored but stuck with it ... if your desperate for something to watch on a rainy day ... this is your movie lol
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Woah!! Very graphic .. and scary ... god help us all if this is really what we are in for!!
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Not the best but managed to sit through it, prolly wouldn't watch it twice though.
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
Drew barrymore ... what else can be said... of course if she puts her name to it it will be good .. wouldn't say gold lining but definitely worthy of silver!
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Who doesnt love a sequel with great action sex on legs and a twist?! to me this was fast and the furious 3 ... 4 & 5 had nothing on this ... A sequel with out the original characters is NOT a sequel to me!!
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
It was ok, prolly wouldn't subject myself to it again though *yawn*
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
My 4 year old loved it ... we had to go out and buy it and its definitely one of his favourites ...
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Not what I expected at all ... nothing special.
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
Son loved it .. of course its predictable for an adult .. its aimed at kids lol and aren't all sequels the same?
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
Good movie! very graphic definitely not for kids!
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Incredibly funny! good flick to watch with your teen!

A little bit "breakfast club" random ...
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
I don't even remember watching it lol I think I must have fallen asleep
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
Average storyline ... not really a strong role for spacey .. I like seeing him in control and this was a bit of a weak character for him ...
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Weird .. and SLOW ... feels like the movie doesn't finish *sigh*
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Watched it from beginning to end ... my summation was that it was a pull the p*ss movie?!
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Had such a good star rating ... but hoping my negative stars brings that down for the other hopefuls ... after waiting sooooooo long on my list to see this brilliantly funny movie I was a little crushed.. don't get me wrong I laughed once or twice but I wouldn't personally refer to it as the comedy of the year <3
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
See all those bad stars below me ... They weren't wrong!!!!!
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Rom-com perfect for the rainy wrong day of the month when you are feeling like eating chocolate and man-hating!! tick tick tick LOL
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
VERY slow to start, if your into a very slow developing plot then this is your movie! I think single librarian cat ladies would love this movie lol
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
If your up for a big mind ****.. then this is the right movie for you ... it felt soo predictable like we have seen the plot soo many times before.
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Good family movie!! kids loved it especially!
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Beautiful .. heart felt ... up there with "THE HELP" and "THE BLIND SIDE" definitely worth it
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
I'm going to say it ... PREDICTABLE ... its just like an extra long episode ... don't get me wrong though its funny and I love the inbetweeners ... but I expected something amazing and it just wasn't lol
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
Waited so long to get this out that I bought it instead .. and it was well worth the money ... Excellent acting, even though the first 10 mins are a bit slow ... STICK WITH IT .. cos it enthralls you! definitely worth the watch
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
OMG .. hands down worst movie EVER!!!! would rather scratch my ears and eyes out than watch that again!!! LOL
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Heart warming and definitely worth the watch!!!
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
I don't know if I am giving it 4 stars because it was a good movie? or if it was because it was like an easter egg hunt for a little kid .... constantly keeping your eyes peeled for the plethora of stars that seemed to be hidden in it...
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Woah!!! ... yeah maybe if you wanted something to send you to sleep??!!
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Didn't really have a climax, it was a bit dull with a few funny moments to boot!
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Some funny bits, overall a bit on the boring side of life...
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
The new version didn't really adapt well from the original, a bit harder to explain why they would govern no parties .. so they just didn't ... a bit of a poor copy ..
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
Really good movie!!! excellent acting ... but then thats why they took all the oscars...
(Not to be missed!) - review by Melanie
FUNNIEST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN IN 10 YEARS ... well done boys!!!!

(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
****YAWN****
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
Funny & Corny rolled into one ... I would watch it again without being forced lol
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
After all the rave reviews I wasn't overly enthralled.... the beginning really seemed to drag out, funny for the last 1/4 and finished nicely I wouldn't go out and buy it for my collection though ... good effort for an aussie film ...
(Maybe) - review by Melanie
A bit predictable but over all a good funny with alot of laughs had my partner in stitches and he isn't usually into romcoms
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Starts off really slow and boring ... Has an awesome twist... prolly never watch it again but rewarding if you stick it out to the end :o)
(Worth watching) - review by Melanie
*Yawn ... wow .. can't believe stars actually took on the roles ... bit depressing, I guess a bit real, more into comedies I guess
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
*rolls eyes* I thought listed as a comedy it would be funny, it was an over the top bridal disaster movie ... hmmm NOT FOR BOYS ... and girls if you make your man watch this shame on you lol
(Don't bother!) - review by Melanie
It was a bit over the top ... *yawn* ... watched it twice cos I fell asleep the first time ...

Of course you have to compare it to the first one .. but its definitely up there ... just as many laughs ... its funny just hard to compete with the perfection of the first one!
(Excellent) - review by Melanie
Really good Rom Com! Quite a few laugh out loud moments!!! loved it .. so did my date!!!! <3
