I was in a mood for some light and entertaining film, so I picked up “Sideways” which was marked as comedy, romance, and drama with high rating. I thought it was one of those nicely done romantic comedies with some sadness to it.
Directed by: Alexander Payne
Genres: Comedy, Drama, Romance
Cast: Paul Giamatti, Thomas Haden Church, Virginia Madsen, Sandra Oh, Marylouise Burke, Jessica Hecht, Missy Doty, M.C. Gainey, Alysia Reiner, Shake Tukhmanyan, Duke Moosekian, Robert Covarrubias, Patrick Gallagher, Stephanie Faracy, Joe Marinelli
IMDB raintg: 8.0
My rating: 8.0 [rate 8.0]
Since I dumped Ben Stiller from the list of actors I like, I was looking for the replacement to restore the balance. Rob Shneider seems like a good alternative. I’ve enjoyed him in a number of movies and think that he actually deserves more attention that he gets. “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo” is one of his older movies that I decided to watch to “study” him a bit more.
Directed by: Mike Mitchell
Genres: Comedy
Cast: Rob Schneider, William Forsythe, Eddie Griffin, Arija Bareikis, Oded Fehr, Gail O’Grady, Richard Riehle, Jacqueline Obradors, Big Boy, Amy Poehler, Dina Platias, Torsten Voges, Deborah Lemen, Bree Turner, Andrew Shaifer
IMDB raintg: 5.6
My rating: 6.0 [rate 6.0]

Comedy is one of my favourite genres, but movies aren’t coming as often as I’d want them to. Especially good ones. So I pretty much have a chance of watching everything that gets tagged as “Funny”. Today’s random pick is “Monster-in-Law“.
Directed by: Robert Luketic
Genres: Comedy, Romance
Cast: Jennifer Lopez, Jane Fonda, Michael Vartan, Wanda Sykes, Adam Scott, Annie Parisse, Monet Mazur, Elaine Stritch, Will Arnett, Stephen Dunham, Randee Heller, Mark Moses, Tomiko Fraser, Rochelle Flexer, Wayne Nickel
IMDB raintg: 5.0
My rating: 7.0 [rate 7.0]
