Dumb and Dumber To

          Dumb and Dumber To. The movie we've waited twenty years for. Unless you're my roommate that's never even seen the first. Can you really even call that living though?

          You can find the trailer for the movie here.

          After twenty years, Harry and Lloyd are back at it. For the past two decades, Lloyd has been in a mental hospital and when Harry finally reveals to Lloyd that he can't come visit him anymore, Lloyd snaps out of it; only it was just a prank that he was playing on Harry. Harry's reason for not being able to visit Lloyd anymore is that he needs a new kidney, and when the two find out that Harry has a long lost daughter, they set out to find her in hopes that Harry can convince her to donate a kidney. At the same time, the two are entrusted with delivering a package to her that is very important.

          Sound familiar? It's a very similar plot to the first Dumb and Dumber movie, but that doesn't mean that it is a bad movie. Dumb and Dumber To is a very funny movie, and while it reflects the first movie, it definitely has it's own story, moments, jokes and all such things.

          Even if you're like my roommate, I still think that this is a movie that all would enjoy.

St. Vincent

          St. Vincent is a great movie with plenty of laughs. The story centers around a young boy in need of a friend and a neighbor that's not so much of a people person. As the movie plays we get to see how the relationships Vincent has begin to change. 

          St. Vincent's a nice type of movie; the kind that makes you feel good or happier after seeing it. It has plenty of comedy throughout and the right amount of emotion to tug on your heartstrings a bit. The trailer is here if you would like to take a look.

          St. Vincent is about a grouchy old man that gets some new neighbors; a single mother trying to make things better for her son and herself. Maggie, the mother, works in a hospital and is often working late, therefore she finds a need for a babysitter. Vincent, the grouchy next door neighbor, offers to watch Oliver, Maggie's son, after school as an hourly job. What we believe to be a mean, gambling, drinking, old man turns out to be something completely different as we watch the days Oliver spends with this new friend.

          Overall, St. Vincent is a very good movie. So if you feel like you're in need of a pick-me-up, I think this may do the trick.
