Semi-Pro (2008)
Hilarious movie! MUST SEE!
OK, like most Will Ferrell movies...don't go in expecting an art house classic, but the gags and movie are funny the entire time. There are some serious moments interspersed, but Ferrell balances those serious moments with hilarious comedy that will leave you crying. I went to go see it with a friend, and she and I laughed so hard from the opening credits all the way until the end of the movie...there were some points I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to wet myself :) You have to give the people who put this movie together a lot of props because the use of costumes, dialog, and music are just all so reminiscent of the 1970's that you just can't help but laugh at how strange everyone is dressed, their cars, etc.
The writers of this movie really outdid themselves, and I think that anyone with even the slightest sense of humour will appreciate this movie for what it is - a really good time. You won't be disappointed!
Il mio miglior nemico (2006)
Cute, whimsical and unique
I really enjoyed this movie. The humor was a bit absent at times but I enjoyed how the story moved between dramatic and serious throughout the film. This is the only the second movie where I saw Verdone acting (the other was 'Un sacco bello'), and I can see why Italians find him tiresome, but he think he played his role well as the loving father.
My one drawback with this movie was that I knew it took place in Italy - somewhere in the center or south, I presume, but I felt like there was no representation of a place. This movie could have taken place in New York, Boston, Melbourne, New Dehli...I always think it is important for movies to have a place to give the viewers something to relate to. (Maybe I missed something?) :) If you like Italian films, then I think that you will enjoy this. It's not a Fellini or a Rossellini - it's not realism or neo-realism. It's a comical story with serious moments that could really happen to any of us.
