Madagascar


The movie i choose to write a review about is Madagascar. I'm choosing to write about this one because it is one of my favorite movies right now. I think it is very cute, fun, and funny. I see it almost everyday at work and have not gotten sick of it yet. When i first heard the name of this movie I always thought it was going to be about cars, but i was confused with the acutual movie Cars. I like disney movies with funny animals and getting to see how they interract with eachother. My favorite characters are the lion and the zebra. I think they have the best sense of humor out of anyone in the movie and I like how they have a love/hate relationship. Marty the zebra wanted to escape from the Zoo once he heard the penguins plans, and he wanted his three best friends, Alex the lion, Melman the girraff, and Gloria the hippo to come along. All Marty wanted to do with be in the wild where he belongs and not trapped in a cage his entire life. He wanted to be out there in the real world too see what it was like. But his three best friends found that to be a bad idea and didn't want to go along. But the zebra leaves anyway and the journey began once the other three realized their friend was missing and went searching for him in the city. Then they end up on a boat, their boxes fly off the ship, and they end up stranded on an island, which is were Marty wanted to be in the first place. One of my favorite parts in the film is when the Marty the zebra walks up from his sleep with Alex the lion licking him, Alex was doing this because he wanted some steak so bad and was imagening Marty as a big juicy stake. I think this movie is hilarious and I laugh through alot of it. I remcommend this movie to anyone of any age to see this because it would be funny and cute for anyone.



Marty the Zebra: I'm ten years old. My
life is half over and I don't even know if i'm black with white stripes or white
with black stripes!

Superbad


I read a a review by Sean Burns who writes for the Philadelphia Times and is a movie critic and wrote and article about Superbad. He seemed to have really enjoyed the movie. He kept talking about how funny it was and how he couldn't control his laughter. He talking about how Knocked Up was a great way to open the summer and the same director again came out with Superbad at the end of the summer and says how it was a great way to end the summer, with and ever funnier comedy for people to enjoy
Our summer kicked off with the Sublime Knocked Up (written and directed by Apatow, starring Rogen), and now it is closes with the even raunchier, ever funnier Superbad (produced by Apatow, co-written by Rogen, who also plays a crucial supporting role).

Knocked Up was one of the biggest blockbusters and Superbad is supposed to be even better then that. He says how much of a naughty and dirty movie it is, never something you should take your mom too because it is just to inappropriate.

So filthy, so naughty, so true, Superbad is simply a joy to behold. I laughed so hard i hurt myself.

It is a great teen movie that he thinks everyone would enjoy. Sean talks about how a lot of sex movies don't turn out so well sometimes so the protagonists but this one should make them inferior because it was that good. Sean believes tho two main characters, John Hill and Micheal Cerra, are "the funniest guys in the room". I agree with Sean Burns that this movie was a very good way to end the summer. It was very good and funny, i was laughing almost the whole movie . I don't believe this movie is only funny though, i also believe it is somewhat of a love story. All these two best friends are trying to do is be with the two girls they like and will do anything for them. I think this is a real life story showing that some people will do anything, even going to the extremes, to get what they want. It is really nice how the characters appreciate each other in the end. I think it is nice how they show the nerdy kids from back in the 80's and how everyone acted, even though it is somewhat the same now. This very hilarious comedy begins with Fogell getting a fake ID and everything going wrong after that. There are many witty lines that just keep making you laugh throughout the whole thing. I recommend this movie to all teens for sure and maybe some adults with a good sense of humor. Maybe not so much parents, knowing their kids watch it and understand everything they are talking about. Most of the reviews this movie got were all good and i think that should make you want to see it too, know it was one of the best movies of the summer.
This Movie is so winning and relatable because it's all about faking it. In that sense, we are all McLovin.
