My Thoughts:
I first saw this movie on HBO On-Demand and I really didn't care too much for it at the time. Giving it a rating of only 2.5 out of 5. But I must say... I enjoyed it more this time then I did the first time. I think I was a little hard on it the first time around. Sure... it isn't the best Romantic Comedy I ever seen... but I still enjoyed it more then I apparently did the first time. I really enjoyed Jennifer Garner in this movie. But then I have liked her since I first seen her on Alias. I liked the idea of making it basically a rip-off of A Christmas Carol. The first time I watched this one I really didn't care for who they picked for the ghosts. But they seemed to grow on me this time... as I thought they were just fine now. I am wondering if my mood was a little off the first time I watched this. With all that said... the movie could be funnier. And I wasn't all that impressed with Matthew McConaughey. But I am glad I have it in my collection now.

My Rating: 3.5/5

My Thoughts:
This is a movie that a good friend recommended to me. It is a good movie... but far from great. A movie that I did enjoy... and will enjoy in the future I am sure. But I have definitely seen better movies in the same sub-genre. One thing that I did like a lot in this movie... the fact that it stars Kristen Bell... I loved her as Veronica Mars! This movie does have a touch of weird in it.. and that could be one of the things that put me off of it a little. But over all it was a fun movie... worth the hour and a half I put into it.

My Rating: 3.5/5

My Thoughts:
Well it seems this is another movie that I disagree with most reviewers on. When I decided to watch this movie I checked other reviews to see what others were saying about this movie. And I was surprised to see most people saying to skip this one. I personally enjoyed this one quite a bit. Loved Eliza Dushku in it... and found to be a very interesting movie. Well worth the hour and a half I put into watching it. I also liked that this is based of a real serial killer. I would definitely recommend this one... though with caution after reading so many bad reviews.

My Rating: 4/5

My Thoughts:
I just watched this one for the first time. I wasn't sure if I would like it going by the trailer... but turned out I enjoyed every minute of it. Not only do I like the cast... but I liked the characters they played. For the first time for I don't know how long there was actually no characters in this movie that I disliked... even a little bit. I have found lately that I am becoming a fan of one of the supporting cast members in this one. I am really starting to enjoy Zooey Deschanel quite a bit. If I am not mistaken she is the sister of Emily Deschanel of Bones fame. While the storyline seems a bit out there... especially when you just read the description... they really make it work for an entertaining film. It is one I feel safe recommending if you like romantic comedies.

My Rating: 4/5

My Thoughts:
I believe this is the first time I seen this movie all the way through... though I did catch bits and pieces of it on cable before. Normally it is pretty hit and miss on movies like this... done off of old series I used to watch. Especially when the entire purpose is to make fun of the series... like this one is. But in this particular case... I must say... I enjoyed it quite a bit! Lets face it... some shows just beg to be made fun of. And I think The Brady Bunch definitely falls into this category. And I was surprised to find myself laugh at a lot of what they did here. Maybe it is because I just finished watching the complete series... but I could believe how much stuff they spoofed from so many episodes! There is also an appearance from several of the original cast... there was Florance Henderson (Carol) playing Grandma Brady... then there was Barry Williams (Greg) as the Music Producer... next there was Anne B. Davis (Alice) as the Truck Driver...then there was Christopher Knight (Peter) as the High School Coach... there was also Mike Lookinland (Bobby) who had a very brief appearance as a cop.... and finally there was Susan Olsen (Cindy) as a Reporter for the National Tattler. So that was fun to see as well. This movie is definitely very silly and cheesy... but look at the source material. So I give this one a pass... as I enjoyed it quite a bit... in a guilty pleasure type of way. And I am now looking forward to watching all the sequels.

My Rating: 4/5
