Girl Most Likely (2012)
Clever & original, but too many plots at once.
I really wanted to make this one of my favorite movies of the summer. I recently saw Darren Criss in concert, and loved him while he was in "A Very Potter Musical", so I decided to take the trip to Boston to see this. Note that Boston is about an hour and a half from where I live, so it was no leisurely car ride. After enduring bumper to bumper traffic, we finally showed up at the AMC theater in order to see the 10:30 showing. The movie began, and at first it was as slow as molasses, but eventually it picked up (after Imogene's boyfriend inconveniently breaks up with her and she gets fired from her job on the same day). This may be biased, but the funniest parts were those with Darren Criss in them. Him & Wiig have a hilarious chemistry with one another, which made the movie more delightful to watch. Their acting off one another was great and they did wonders for the story telling of the movie. However, many of the other actors made it drag on and, at times, I felt like I may fall asleep. However, the ending is hilarious. There's a huge twist with a bunch of guns & unlikely heroes. Didn't see it coming at all. I'd say definitely rent it once it comes out, and if it plays in a theater close to you, go. If not, don't drive out of your way to see it.
Despicable Me 2 (2013)
Absolutely adorable!
I went into this movie not expecting much, considering it was rated for children, and I am nineteen. However, once the movie started, I found myself laughing more than the children in the same theater did. I went with one of my friends, and he had the same experience. We were both very happy that we went to see it. I would recommend it not only to children and parents, but teenagers as well. No one is "too cool" for minions, and I dare say, this movie may have been better than the first one. I, for one, am extremely excited to see what happens if they make a Minion Movie, and I will be there opening weekend. If you are not a fan of the minions, even though I don't see how you couldn't be, I wouldn't recommend this movie. It's extremely minion heavy!
