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!

Film 84/365, Day 89/365 – Mr and Mrs Smith

It’s silly, absurd and very entertaining.  Forget your silly little arguments with the other half, this is how real couples fight… with guns, knives and bombs! OK, maybe not but it isn’t half fun.  The best thing is how tongue in cheek the whole thing is, if it had been deadly serious it wouldn’t have been half as good.

Synopsis: John and Jane Smith are like most married couples, everything looks fine on the surface but they both have a dirty little secret that they are keeping from one another, they are both professional assassins who work for rival firms and everyone knows except them.  So when there working lives finally clash you can expect fireworks!

Film 44/365, Day 51/365 – Couples Retreat

Jason and Cynthia have just announced that their marriage has failed and in one last attempt to save it they are asking, no begging, their friends to agree to go on an exclusive couples retreat. After a thorough presentation to demonstrate the benefits of the retreat their friends eventually agree to go with them. But when they get there they are all subjected to the marriage therapy. Will Jason and Cynthia save their marriage or will their friends survive the ordeal?

Couples Retreat has quite the ensemble cast and offers plenty of laughs throughout. Jean Reno is excellent as Marriage Guru Marcel although the best character is the yoga instructor. This is definitely one to watch with the other half and it does have plenty to laugh at.
