Film 220/365, Day 237/365 – The Wedding Singer


It’s funny, it’s silly and it’s packed full of awful 1980s clothing.  No really, it is a completely unashamed view of the 1980s.  It is a rom-com but Adam Sandler provides enough laughs to keep it interesting for everyone else.

Synopsis:  Robbie Hart is a wedding singer.  He loves weddings, that is until his fiancĂ© leaves him standing at the altar.  Now he hates them and he hates love.  However he soon begins to rediscover his former self when he begins to fall for Julia, a waitress that he is helping to plan her wedding!

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!
