Welcome to Acapulco (2019)
Pretty Funny
Now, clearly this movie is not Scott Pilgrim, or Deadpool, both of which this flick borrows from, BUT, I did think it was pretty entertaining and often hilarious. Yes, the narration, as another review noted, is a little over the top, to put it mindly, however I often found myself laughing, surprised, or even shocked by some of the one liners, stop downs, and silly, bordering on ridiculous, sight gags they threw in this thing. All the "big" names in the movie were clearly there just for the paycheck, but I really got a kick out of Matthew Kingsbaker. He definitely went for it, and I loved the romance/paranoia subplot between him and the leading lady. Look, it's no Midnight Run, but if you dig wacky, over the top, self deprecating humor in a movie that clearly isn't taking itself too seriously, check it out.
The Ledge (2011)
Holy Wow!
I'm giving this movie 6 stars. Atheists will love this movie. LOVE this movie. I am rating it fairly because I think when making a movie targeting an atheist audience, this movie hit the bulls-eye. I personally thought it sucked.
I'm a devout Christian, and I would kindly ask you to shoot me in the face if I acted anything like this Joe guy. Unfortunately, this is the stereotype of how we're all seen. But no, f*ck that guy! He's an awful person. When he broke out in prayer during an argument with the main dude, I spat out my skittles / mike & Ike mix. I have this candy dispenser, and I mixed both together. They compliment each other well. But I digress...
It should be stated, I was never once outraged during this movie. I did not take offense or yell at my screen in argument. As soon as I realized what kind of movie I was watching, I figured it'd be a fun ride. It was. The plot itself was kind of weak, but the heavy atheist bias was highly entertaining.
So to sum up, it's a movie that makes Christians look terrible, and will make you non believers laugh and cheer. See it! I'm assuming the script was written by a young, 16 year old Atheist due to using logic learned in Atheism 101. Or actually, the conversations among students before class starts.
Lots of fun!!
