Happy Gilmore 2 

 

Don't bother. Rehash of the same jokes from 30 years ago but a bigger sports cast.

Jokes didn't deliver well, a few scenes left pointless & storyline was OTT.

3/10 

I only watched it because Kyle Newacheck directed it, but yeah it was a bit meh

If you liked The Substance i recommend watching Together

What time can you pick me up?

Just came out of The Naked Gun.

 

Loved every second of it.

 

Just joyfully silly and hilarious throughout.

 

Every single opportunity for a gag of any time was taken, and 90% of the time they hit, every time. 
 

Even the ****ing credits were littered with hidden jokes. 
 

A sublime cinematic experience. Would love more.

I'm so glad they appear to have got it right. They really needed to. 

 

Looking forward to seeing it myself.

The pickup and war of the world's on amazon 

Pickup was really funny 4/5 Eddie Murphy 

WOTW was a good tv movie (different take on thw story) 3/5 Ice Cube

WEAPONS

 

Saw it last night. 

 

****ing incredible. 

 

I had no idea where this was going.

 

It was disturbing, terrifying, hilarious and shocking at the same time. 

 

Phenomenal cast, brilliant directing choices, and a fantastic script that I desperately need to read.

 

Won't be everyone's cup of tea of course, but that was yet another exhilarating cinematic experience.

This is about the only non-context spoiler I can share:

Weapons is really good. As has been said before, terrifying and absolutely hilarious.

[ithuriel]

Finally watched The Naked Gun, quite enjoyable and the bit with being spied  upon in his apartment was laugh out loud funny 

The three movies advertised did not look too bad either, especially the tourettes one.

Weapons was ok wasn’t as good as I’d hoped 

[ithuriel]

Of the three trailers that were on before Naked Gun, this looked the best 

 

[urban.spaceman]

Found it.

 

 

Slightly early draft.

 

No wonder this sold for £38m.

 

 

[Samilktray]

Just been to see Weapons and I didn’t really get the hype. Well made movie that was well acted, but absolutely nothing was explained as far as I could tell. 6/10 

[MC Prussian]

Ex Machina. Underrated.

[Torquay Gunner]

Just watched 28 yrs later.  Enjoyed the previous films, but unfortunately imo the script was ridiculous and the ending belonged in an entirely different film.  Glad I didn’t waste my money at the cinema. 

[Jonezy]

I enjoyed Weapons. Was a cool ride with scares and laughs. One of those, were you have to connect some dots yourself, but I didn't mind that. A solid 7/10 for me.

[VLC86]

Went to watch The Life of Chuck last night. Really enjoyed it.

Going to have to watch this again. Loved this film when it came out. More time has passed since then than between the film's release and the fall of the Berlin Wall...

[Dr Marco]

I hadn't seen it again since it's release at the cinema

Been to Berlin last week so fancied watching it again

Great film
