Movie Review: Meet The Parents - Little Fockers

What better way to spend a rather hot afternoon than in an air-conditioned cinema?

I haven't seen the first movie but did see the second which was funny (who can forget the cat flushing the dog down the toilet, or little Jack's first word).

Jessica Alba makes a bit of a cameo in this one... I especially love the pool scene *grin*

Definitely must see it for some light entertainment over the festive season!!

Plot: It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Polo) and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get "in" with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack's suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back. When Greg and Pam's entire clan-including Pam's lovelorn ex, Kevin (Owen Wilson)-descends for the twins' birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he's fully capable as the man of the house. But with all the misunderstandings, spying and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack's final test and become the family's next patriarch...or will the circle of trust be broken for good?

Movie Review: Night At The Museum 2

I was never a fan of Ben Stiller, but he is slowly growing on me.

I saw this with a friend from work - I've only just seen the first one in the last few months and thought it was hilarious! This one is pretty good for a sequel.

Plot: It's a new "Night" and "Museum" for Ben Stiller, who is joined by several other stars from the original film, as well as new characters from history -- including Amy Adams as famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart, Hank Azaria as villainous Egyptian pharaoh Kahmunrah, Christopher Guest as Russian tyrant Ivan the Terrible and Alain Chabat as Napoleon. Owen Wilson is back as cowboy Jedediah, and Robin Williams again rides into history as Teddy Roosevelt. The centerpiece of the film will be bringing to life the Smithsonian Institution, which houses the world’s largest museum complex with more than 136 million items in its collections, ranging from the plane Amelia Earhart flew on her nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic and Al Capone’s rap sheet and mug shot to Dorothy’s ruby red slippers and Archie Bunker’s lounge chair.
