Blue Crush & Failure to Launch

I recently bought the movies Blue Crush and Failure to Launch.

I watched Blue Crush a few days ago, and I'm watching Failure to Launch now. I forgot how funny/awesome these movies are!!!

Let's start with Blue Crush. 5 reasons why I love that movie so much:

1) It has surfing. The crash of waves. The awesome special effects that actually make it look like the actors are surfing. They all add up to equal amazing-ness! I mean, it makes me feel more fit just by watching it ;)

2) It has snarky girls in it. They're sassy, and they crack me up. Although, there are times in the movie when I want to smack the youngest one, Penny, upside the head, because she's being such a brat...

3) It has HILARIOUS football players in it! There's a scene where they're getting surfing lessons from the girls, and it makes me laugh every time. :)

4) It actually has a plot. I hate movies that try to be hip/funny, yet they don't actually have a plot. Lame. Also, the girls all work in a hotel, so it kinda has a Maid in Manhattan element to it which I LOVE.

5) And last but not least, it has - THE GUY FROM LEGALLY BLONDE!!! And he's GREAT in this movie. He makes me sigh in happiness =D


So there you go. I know it might be completely shallow and superficial, but I love the movie Blue Crush.

Now onto Failure to Launch. Granted, there are scenes with bad language and sexual innuendo/nudity, but what PG-13 movie doesn't have that? Also, if you know where the scenes are, you can FFWD! Novel idea, right? Ok, now for the 10 reasons I love the movie Failure to Launch (Yes, 10 reasons. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful):

1) The paintball scene - it's my FAVORITE scene in the whole movie. Don't ask me why; it just cracks me up when I'm watching it. The guys are such guys in it (Bradley Cooper is a genius, and that nerd guy they hang out with is so cute and adorable). Sarah Jessica Parker and Zooey Deschanel are brilliant in this scene as well.

2) I love the fact that every time they are in nature, Matthew McConaughey (sp?) somehow gets attacked by some form of wildlife - a squirrel, a dolphin, a lizard - every time, the other two guys are so chill about it. Haha!

3) The parents - you know the ones I mean. Kathy Bates and...that guy from Coach? They are comedic gold in this movie! In one of the scenes, his mom tells him to clean the bathroom and do a load of laundry. When she walks out, the guys are like, "Dude, something's wrong with your mom..." So. Funny. Oh, and the dad tries to set up a "naked room" in the house. Inspired/creepy.

4) The mini-love story between Zooey Deschanel and Matthew's nerdy friend. They bond over shooting a mocking bird with a BB gun. Their relationship is adorable in a geeky/awkward way.

5) The scene where their friends stick them in a room together, tie Matthew McConaughey up, and record them fighting/making up on video for his parents and an entire coffee shop to see. Cracks me up every time.

6) Zooey Deschanel in and of herself. She's so sarcastic. I love it.

7) The nerdy friend in and of himself. I just want to pinch his cheeks, he's so cute!

8) The activities that the three guys do together. Paintball. Mountain biking. Rock climbing. And last but not least, yoga. The most random, and my favorite, activity of all :)

9) Um...I forget the last two, but....

10) I love this movie! (And I didn't want to end on 8. That's just tacky.)

Well, that's it. Hope you enjoyed my superficial/shallow movie critiques of the day! Later!
