Film 237/365, Day 250/365 – Mystery Men

It’s funny and silly in equal parts.  All of the characters have their moments but sadly they also kind of go off the boil every now and then.  It is still very funny although I think the villains are almost better than the heroes especially Geoffrey Rush and Eddie Izzard.

Synopsis:  A group of amateur superheroes find that they are the only hope to save their city from the evil clutches of Casanova Frankenstein.  Mr Furious, the Blue Raja and Shoveler will need to get more help if they are to defeat Casanova!

Film 198/365, Day 211/365 – There’s Something About Mary

It’s still very funny, although not quite as funny as I remember it.  Sadly, I don’t think it has held up as well as Dumb and Dumber which will always be hilarious.  That said if you haven’t seen this then you really should be cause like I said it is still very funny.

Synopsis:  Ted never got to have his dream date with Mary at the high school prom due to an unfortunately zipper related incident.  Now Ted’s all grown up and still can’t get Mary out of his head so he hires a private detective to track her down for him.  But things don’t go quite as Ted planned.

Film 146/365, Day 156/365 – Zoolander

Endless sarcastic gold.  Zoolander is stupid, really, really ridiculously stupid but he means well which is probably why he is so funny.  Will Ferrell is fantastic as evil fashion designer Mugatu.  So many brilliant moments, I must however admit that I didn’t instantly love it, but after a couple of viewings you see so much more each time.  Genius comedy.

Synopsis:  Derek Zoolander is really, really, ridiculously good looking, but is that enough?  He has just lost out to his younger rival in the top model awards.  Desperate to get himself back on top he agrees to be the face of Derelicte, unaware that he is actually being brainwashed to kill the Malaysian president.  Will he realise in time to stop himself?

Film 139/365, Day 151/365 – Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story

It’s stupid, really really stupid but you’ve got to love it.  This film has so many memorable lines that you will find yourself repeating over and over again.  Ben Stiller is excellent as the slightly unhinged and vain White Goodman.  If you can dodge a wrench then you can dodge a ball!  Again, it is so stupid it is brilliant.

Synopsis:  White Goodman, the owner of Globo Gym, seeks to squash all competition and to do so buys Average Joe’s.  Now in order to save their gym a group of misfits enter a Dodgeball tournament under the tutelage of legendary Dodgeball player Patches O'Houlihan.  The only problem is that White has discovered their plan and has entered his own team!
