Forgetting Sarah Marshall



Have you ever been in a relationship were you think everything is going awesome? Then “BAM!” out of nowhere the world ends it and feels like he or she ripped your heart out. Threw it on the ground and then stomped on it. Well, in this movie that is how peter, (Jason Segel) felt. I love how it shows that Peter takes the break up very bad and cries every night. Usually in movies, it’s the girls that cry and not the guys because they think they are big, bad and tuff. Peter goes away to Hawaii to cheer himself up. Well he runs into his ex, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell) at the same hotel where he was staying. Sarah is there with her new, famous boyfriend, Aldous, (Russel Brand). Now how awkward would that be! I’m sure we have all been in some sort of the same situation, and just wanted to say something mean to our ex’s. The counter girl at the hotel, Rachel (Mila Kunis) saved his ass. In this movie, I like how it shows that sometimes, if you just wait for the person that you liked or loved, you might be wasting your time. There are other fishes to catch in the pond. Also, you never know what you have till it’s gone. Peter took Rachel to dinner and then saw Sarah and Aldous at the same restaurant. So, Aldous invites them to eat with them for dinner. I mean, would anybody really want to sit with their ex at dinner, with their date! Well, these crazy people tried it out and lets just say they drank a lot of wine.

The Switch





Have you ever had one of those Best Friends, that when you’re hurt, you can just talk to them or go see movies or get something to eat?   Having someone you can ramble on to about your life to and not be afraid that you said something embarrassing or wrong, just someone you can be yourself around.  Just a Best Friend that you are very close to. What if you have feelings for that friend who is the opposite gender and do not know how to bring up the fact that you want to be more than friends?  Well, Kassie, (Jennifer Aniston) puts Wally, (Jason Bateman) in the friend zone.  I like how it shows in this movie that you can’t have what you want, unless you try your best.  She tells him that she is pregnant, well not yet, but that she is searching for the right guy to get sperm to inseminate a pregnancy.  She invited him to her sperm party.   Have you ever been to a party where you felt awkward and did not know how to make a conversation?  Well, Wally felt that way at the party, and when he went to the bathroom, he was wasted.  He saw the sperm in the donor cup on the shelf and he picked it up.  He was messing with it by the sink, and someone knocked on the door and he spilled the sperm in the sink.  I like how this movie shows that people can get caught up in different situations, where you know you did something wrong and have no idea how to fix it.

The Last Song



In this movie Miley Cyrus (Ronnie) is more free spirited and has an edgy side to her.  Everyone will notice right away because we’re used to her having a more preppy side to her.  Well, Ronnie and her little brother (Jonah) come to visit their dad for the summer.  After their parents got a divorce, Ronnie blamed her Dad and would try to prove a point to her dad.  But in the long run, she was just hurting herself.  Many teenagers that experience divorce will either put the blame on one parent or both.  I love how this movie shows you are only hurting yourself and how much love can reconnect or bring a family back together.  Even when you’re apart from the people you love, it does not mean you love them any less.  It just means you love them even more.  It shows that you can make mistakes and no one is perfect.  I also love how this movie shows that you can fall in love with someone that seems totally out or your league, and still be very happy, because really thats all that matters in life.  Everyone knows love is never perfect, and in many movies it only shows relationships without many real problems.  Well, in this love story it shows the love parts, the ups and downs, the love of a family, and how much closer a family can get when everyone tries to understand each other.

Extraordinary Measures

Inspired by a true story, Brendan Fraser and Keri Russel star as John and Alieen Crowley.  These two parents risk everything they have to save their two children's lives because they have pompe.  The doctor says they can usually live up to nine years old and after that they will start getting very weak.  Also the doctor said that he wishes that he could help but there is no medicine or cure for this fatal disease.  So John, the dad, started searching and looking for a cure for the fatal pompe disease because he wants to try and save his kids.  His daughter was in really bad shape in the hospital and the doctors didn’t know if she was going to make it or not.  The next day the doctor said he has never seen anyone fight as hard as she did to live.  When John looked into his daughters eyes, he knew he would do anything to save her and his sons lives.   John did a lot of research and made a lot of calls and found a scientist Dr. Robert Stonehill that had a theory about pompe.  He believed he couldn’t cure his children but could save there lives.  John pushes the scientist and a company to find a cure for his two young children.  Some times in the movie John and Dr. Stonehill would get annoyed with each other because of the fight against time to get the needed drug approved.  This is a good movie that shows how much families would do for there children.  Don’t hope for a miracle, make one!  How far would you go to save your kids lives?
