DVD Review for September 2, 2014

DRAFT DAY
Rated - R
Stars: Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner
Plot: An NFL General Manager breaks from the norm to have an incredible draft for his team.
Trailer

Clint Says: It's worth a rental

DRAFT DAY is a well-done, fast-paced film that, thankfully, is about relationships and the art of the deal rather than football. It's not nearly as good as JERRY MAGUIRE, but it's born of the same ilk.

I found myself engaged and entertained throughout the movie even though I'm not a fan of the NFL and I find the draft to be painfully boring. (I know, I'm weird). This is a plus for the film, because it will appeal to a much broader audience than just the NFL fan.

Costner and Garner are vanilla as usual, but the action and intensity of the story keep things moving along well.

It's a good date movie because it's feel-good, you don't have to think too much and it has wide appeal.



MOMS' NIGHT OUT
Rated - PG
Stars: Sarah Drew, Sean Astin, Patricia Heaton
Plot: A group of moms head out for a well-deserved night away from the kids, but the night turns into a disaster.
Trailer

Clint Says: It's worth a rental

If you like really funny, family-friendly movies this is a great movie for you. Sarah Drew is knee-slappingly funny and it is a true joy to see Patricia Heaton play a straight-laced preacher's wife.

While this movie isn't a big-budget film, (sometimes it looks made for TV), it does exactly what it set out to do...honor moms and make people laugh. There are some scenes where you may pee a little. It's that funny.

Movie Review for May 9, 2014

NEIGHBORS
Rated R
Stars: Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Rose Byrne
Plot: A fraternity moves next door to a young couple with a baby, quickly making the couple realize that their party days are behind them.
Trailer

Clint Says: Wait until after opening weekend, but see this in theaters

NEIGHBORS is seriously funny. It is also seriously raunchy. It is also a great movie. If you can handle the raunch you will be entertained the entire time and you will laugh more in two hours than you've laughed in the last month.

Rogen and Byrne's chemistry is fun to watch and their dialogue is hysterical. Efron plays a perfect frat boy and, if a shirtless Zac is your thing, you won't be disappointed.

It's nice to see Rogen and Efron sticking to their roots, but still growing with the kind of characters we've grown to love and expect out of them.



MOMS' NIGHT OUT
Rated PG
Stars: Sarah Drew, Sean Astin, Patricia Heaton
Plot: A group of moms decide to take a night off and have some fun, but then everything that can go wrong does.
Trailer

Clint Says: Take your mom to see this movie for Mother's Day

If you like really funny, family-friendly movies this is a great movie for you. Sarah Drew is knee-slappingly funny and it is a true joy to see Patricia Heaton play a straight-laced preacher's wife.

While this movie isn't a big-budget film, (sometimes it looks made for TV), it does exactly what it set out to do...honor moms and make people laugh. There are some scenes where you may pee a little. It's that funny.



LEGENDS OF OZ: DOROTHY'S RETURN
Rated PG
Stars: Lea Michele, Kelsey Grammer
Plot: Dorothy returns to Oz to help have her old friends from The Jester.
Trailer

Clint Says: They did not preview this film

This movie was not made available for screenings. Hopefully it is good, but it's rarely a good sign when a movie is not screened before its release date.
