A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas (3D) (2011)


Genre: Comedy/Drama

Starring: Kal Penn, John Cho, Thomas Lennon, Amir Blumenfeld, Paula Garces, Danny Trejo

Harold (Cho) & Kumar (Penn) have entertained audiences in the past when they went to White Castle and Guantanamo Bay. The two best friends perpetually landed themselves in trouble with Harold trying to figure a more reasonable way out and Kumar chosing something more radical. The two friends have not parted ways with Harold tired of Kumar's continued immaturity and not being able to accept adulthood. He has settled down with Maria (Garces) and Maria's family decides to drop in for Christmas. Her father Carlos Perez (Trejo) is a very religious person and believes in celebrating Christmas with all his heart. Harold and him dont get along and Carlos has entrusted Harold with the task of decorating a Christmas tree that he has been growing for years for this special occassion. Kumar is still spending time like a college graduate, smoking weed all day long and finds a package with Harold's name on his doorstep. Not having seen him in all these years he decided to pay him a visit and give the package. Kumar, ever-famous for his blunders, puts Carlos' tree on fire and the two now need to look for a new tree and decorate it before he returns home. The movies have consistently focussed on the duo and their misfortunate events but what made them famous and loved was the slapstick and enjoyable humour. Penn, as usual, brings in all the sex and stupid humour which seemed to lack finesse and character. The movie doesnt have humour like the previous movies, gets extremely boring during unwanted melodramatic scenes and lacks a different plot. Fails to live up to the brands name and a big let down for fans.


Thumbs up: Very few selected scenes that have the Harld & Kumar essence
Thumbs down: Horrible humour, extremely boring at times

Rating: 5.8/10

Hole in One (2010)


Genre: Comedy/Sport/Drama/Romance

Starring: Steve Talley, David Ellison, Dean Cameron, Christopher Showerman, Sandy Modic

Sex sells? At least that is what the makers of this movie believe in. Here is our recipe; get a young famous actor, get some gorgeous skimpy clothed woman, add some considerable nudity, sprinkle some slap-stick humour and if you really wish, add a plot to it. Eric (Talley) is an amateur golfer who hustles people and makes a living. His best friend Tyler (Ellison) runs a store that sells clothes golf apparel and the two are enjoying their life the way it is. On one eventful day, Eric makes a bet with two plastic surgeons at golf and loses, or rather gained, something he wish he never had. Steve Talley has emerged as the new god of sex-comedy movies after his success with American Pie and Van Wilder. The movie is a mindless comic with no laughable humour or entertaining plot outline. If loads of topless woman is what defines your style of entertainment then this movie is definitely up to the mark else it is a pure waste of precious time. Watch at your own risk.

Thumbs up: Does the moon have water?
Thumbs down: Bad plot, worse humour

Dude, Where's My Car (2000)


Genre: Comedy/Adventure/Science-fiction/Mystery

Starring: Ashton Kutcher, Seann William Scott, Jennifer Garner, Marla Sokoloff, Hal Sparks

Two pot-heads have a crazy night and the next day, they don't remember a thing. Jesse (Kutcher) and Chester (Scott) cannot remember where they went and what they did but all they know is that they might have had a really good time. The two forgot their anniversary with the twins, Wanda (Garner) and Wilma (Sokoloff), forgot where they kept their gifts, forgot why a transsexual is demanding $200,000 from them, forgot why two Nordic dudes, a group of girls calling themselves 'hot chicks' and a team of very geeky cult members are after them for the 'Continuum Transfunctioner' a device that can destroy the entire universe and forgot where they parked Jesse's car. They realised that if they find the car most of their questions about last night would be solved, but that is if they can find out where the car is. Since this movie preceded The Hangover one can say that it might have been the source of inspiration for the epic laugh riot. This movie, however, was not all that funny but just plain stupid. Its the very typical slap-stick humour that you sit and enjoy with friends and simply erase it from your memory later. Stupid and funny but don't expect too much out of it.

Thumbs up: Stupid humour, a sex-comedy with a plot
Thumbs down: Not funny enough

Balls Out: Gary the Tennis Coach (2009)


Genre: Comedy/Drama/Sports

Starring: Sean William Scott, Randy Quaid, Brando Eaton, Emilee Wallace, A.D. Miles

Most sex-comedies try to make a living out of the same limited objectives; show some stupidity along with unwanted nudity and this movie is no different. Gary Houseman (Scott) used to love the game of tennis but he felt that tennis never really loved him and hence swore to give up the sport. After a failed tennis career, he became a high school janitor where he once again rubbed shoulders with his estranged sport which sparked his love once more. The tennis team was failing and wasn't getting anywhere and the tennis coach, Lew Tuttle (Quaid) appointed Gary to be the assistant coach after seeing his skills. With the subsequent death of Coach Tuttle, faculty member Steve Pimble (Miles) volunteered to head the tennis team although he knew nothing about the game. Gary and Steve now had the astronomical task on their heads to coach the tennis team and make them win the state champions, just as Coach Tuttle had set out to do. The sad part about the movie is that it had the enormous scope of being fun, but stupid jokes, scenes that don't contribute to the plot and tacky editing made sure that your fun time turns out to be not-so-fun. Sean William Scott and his acting was probably the only saving grace in the movie, had it been anyone else it would have been just worse. An average movie and don't expect fireworks.

Thumbs up: Sean William Scott
Thumbs down: Bad plot execution

Old School (2003)


Genre: Comedy/Drama/Romance

Starring: Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Jeremy Piven, Ellen Pompeo

Three friends are hating their age and want to get back to their wild and youthful days. Mitch (Wilson) broke up with his girlfriend when he came to know that she was having sex with random people, Frank (Ferrell) recently got married and cant handle the responsibility attached with it and Beanie (Vaughn) just simply hates his life. Mitch moves into a new house on a college campus but the new Dean of Students, Dean Pritchard (Piven) holds a long grudge against the three of them and tries to get them evicted. In order to be legally allowed to stay on campus, Beanie decides to start a fraternity of misfits and makes Mitch the fraternity godfather. From 18 year-olds to 89 year-olds, everyone wants to be a part of this new wild fraternity, much to the dislike of Dean Pritchard. There are thousands of ways of doing a sex-comedy wrong and only a few methods to get it right. Thankfully, this movie has followed the correct path to produce a hilarious and entertaining movie, just like what the doctor ordered. 

Thumbs up: Great comedy, good fun
Thumbs down: Should have left out the romance bit

Wedding Crashers (2005)


Genre: Drama/Comedy/Romance

Starring: Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Cristopher Walkin, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Bradley Cooper

Two good friends, John (Wilson) and Jeremy (Vaughn) are professional wedding crashers. Their sole objective is to meet new women and sleep with them. They learn of Treasury Secretary William Cleary (Walkin) whose daughter is getting married and plan to crash the biggest wedding of the country. They meet the other Cleary sisters, Claire (McAdams) and Gloria (Fisher). John falls for Claire but later learns that she is engaged to Zachary (Cooper) and Jeremy gets Gloria, the young sex-hungry teenager. John and Jeremy get invited to spend some time with the family over the weekend which simply brings John and Claire closer, perhaps a bit too close. The movie is outright predictable and is no different from the thousands of other movies that come out on similar lines. It lacks any kind of outright humour and the story seems to develop at its own leisurely pace. It did get a bit more interesting towards the end, but not too much. Everything about it is quite average, nothing great.

Thumbs up: The concept of having 'wedding crashers'
Thumbs down: Boring, quite average in most aspects

Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)


Genre: Comedy/Drama/Adventure/Fantasy

Starring: John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry, Clark Duke

Three friends are fed up with their adult lives. The friends hardly seem to meet each other and they don't really call themselves 'friends' anymore. Lou (Coddry) gets into hospital for what seems to be a suicide attempt and Adam (Cusack) and Nick (Robinson) decide to pay him a visit. The three friends, along with Jacob (Duke) Adam's nephew, decide to go to Kodiak Valley and refresh their childhood memories from there. They are sitting in a hot tub outside their room when they accidentally spill Chernobly, an illegal Russian drink, which damages the tubs electronics and sends them back in time. The mysterious tub mechanic tells them that they have to do the same things what they did back in 1986 or else the 'butterfly effect' might create disastrous consequences in the future. Lou doesn't want to go get beaten up by six guys, again, Adam doesn't want to break up with his high school crush and get stabbed in the eye with a fork, again, and Nick doesn't want to have sex with Tara because he is married in the future. The adventure back in time change a lot of things in all their lives and Jacob finally finds out who his dad is. The movie really isn't the average sex-comedy that one would expect and it makes a really good watch. Some parts do get a bit serious and dragged but its tolerable. What was really missing is that one stupidly hilarious scene, which sadly wasn't there. A good watch with a group of friends which would make you want to live another unforgettable night.

Thumbs up: Great entertainer
Thumbs down: Average humour

Rating: 6.4/10

Miss March (2009)


Genre: Drama/Comedy/Adventure/Romance

Starring: Zach Cregger, Trevor Moore, Raquel Alessi, Molly Stanton, Craig Robinson

Two childhood friends, Eugene (Cregger) and Tucker (Moore) took on different paths in life although they grew up together. Tucker became a Playboy-loving sex-addict and Eugene, the exact opposite. He and his girlfriend Cindi (Alessi) abstained from sex and educated young children about the hazardous consequences of having sex. Cindi had enough of Eugene preaching a no-sex belief and gave the final ultimatum that if he doesn't do it on prom night, they are done forever. A few drinks too much, Eugene is already to lose it when he falls down the staircase and falls into a coma. Four years later when Tucker whacks him with a baseball bat on the head which finally does wake him up, he sees that his entire family has left him, including Cindi and Tucker is the only guy who was still around. So much so, Cindi went ahead to become a Playboy Playmate and went to get featured as Miss March. Euguene, confused as to why his girlfriend is doing this, goes on a road trip with Tucker across the entire country to attend the Playboy party and finally confront his girlfriend. A lot of movies try to be American Pie but most of them fail horribly. The movie is not an outright bore, but its not very entertaining either. Lack of any kind of serious humour, good twist and decent, just makes this another random sex-comedy that you would forget immediately after watching it. Watch, forget and go to bed.

Thumbs up: Nothing 'thumbs up' in this one, pretty plain and average.
Thumbs down: Bad humour, plot can be improvised.

Rating: 5.6/10

Kick-Ass (2010)


Genre: Action/Crime/Drama/Spoof/Comedy

Starring: Aaron Johnson, Lyndsy Fonseca, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Mark Strong, Nicolas Cage, Chloe Moretz

Dave Lizewski (Johnson) is a low-life, good for nothing youth. Neither a math geek nor a sports hero, he gets absolutely no attention in college and is pushed around by everyone. He suddenly wonders why nobody has ever considered being a super-hero as a profession and decides to become the first one, naming himself Kick-Ass. His first crime-fighting stint lands him up in the hospital, naked, and he is pronounced gay by the entire college. The good side being that the college beauty Katie (Fonseca) starts taking pity on him since he is gay. Meanwhile, Damon Macready (Cage), an ex-cop is seeking revenge from Frank D'Amico (Strong) for killing his wife and framing him wrongly for dealing in narcotics. Once out of jail, he starts training his very young daughter in weapon wielding and crime-fighting. Together they become Big-Daddy and Hit-Girl and plan to avenge D'Amico. In order to get even with this new found rage in  becoming a super-hero, D'Amico makes his son Chris (Mintz-Plasse) the Red Mist. The movie is a spoof of Spider-Man with most of the plot being borrowed from there. The movie may not be outright hilarious but its still a fun watch. A mix of humour and crime fighting conjures a good combination which is worth a watch. Nicolas Cage's performance is quite wasted and the same role could have been done by a lesser known actor without hampering too much of the movies outcome.

Thumbs up: Great mix of almost everything
Thumbs down: Should have had better humour

Rating: 7.5/10

Road Trip: Beer Pong (2009)


Genre: Comedy/Adventure/Drama/Romance

Starring: Preston Jones, Michael Trotter, DJ Quallas, Nestor Aaron Asbera, Danny Pudi, Julianna Guill

A sequel to the 2001 hit Road Trip the movie narrates the life of Andy (Jones) and Katy (Guill), a crazy in love couple who have to go to different universities to pursue their education. Andy's friend Korken (Trotter) is always behind him to forget about Katy and to forget about being loyal and to enjoy college life to the fullest. Andy and Jake (Asbera) are beer pong champions and are representing The University Ithaca at the national beer pong championship. Katy decides to get a transfer to Andy's college, something which freaks Andy out. Andy also comes across his childhood crush on the Internet and decides to meet her at the beer pong championship. The four friends need funding for the road trip and approach Arash (Pudi) the son of the dictator of Tandor (which is a subtle spoof on India). He agrees, provided he can come along on the trip. Overnight, the government of Tandor falls and the five of them find themselves on the street without any money. The movie uses a lot of elements from the previous movie and tries to incorporate it in a new story. The entire outcome is an average plot, poor performances and the lack of any kind of humour making it plain boring. A messed-up version of the original

Thumbs up: Decent attempt, although messed-up
Thumbs down: Lack of humour

Rating: 5.6/10

Police Academy (1984)

Genre: Comedy/Drama

Starring: Steve Guttenberg, Kim Cattrall, G.W. Bailey, Bubba Smith, Donovan Scott, George Gaynes


Fed-up with the high crime rate in the city, the mayor enforces a new law where anyone and everyone can apply to the police force and there would be no restrictions for entry. All those people who dreamt of being on the police force but previously couldn't apply, throng the police academy to get their 14 weeks of police training. Carey Mahone (Guttenberg) always seems to get himself into trouble and is sent to the police academy as a form of punishment and rectification. The Chief of Police orders Commandant Lassard (Gaynes) that the training should make these misfits want to leave the academy since they cant be thrown out. Lt. Harris (Bailey) in faced with the daunting task of training the most diverse group of eccentrics ever. From a sex-obsessed Spaniard and a blundering geek to a an over-enthusiastic army man and an over-weight sissy, he sees them all. The movie is a fun watch and gives you more than once occasion to laugh. It does not have the roll over your seat humour but yet makes the movie a pleasurable watch.

Thumbs up: Nice plot 
Thumbs down: A bit more humour perhaps

Road Trip (2000)


Genre: Drama/Comedy/Romance/Adventure

Starring: Breckinn Meyer, Sean William Scott, Amy Smart, Paulo Costanzo, DJ Qualls, Tom Green, Rachal Blanchard

Childhood friends and lovers, Josh (Meyer) and Tiffany (Blanchard) have a track record of being honest and faithful to each other. They both go to separate High School Universities and Josh feels Tiffany is cheating on her. He ends up in bed with Beth (Smart) and video tapes their activity. Josh later realises that Tiffany did not cheat on him and feels bad for what he did. He complies a tape for her but his friend Rubin (Costanzo) accidentally mails the sex tape instead to Tiffany. Josh needs to get to Austin, Texas before the courier does and along with E.L (Scott), Kyle (Qualls) and Rubin he sets out on a road trip to get to Austin within 3 days time. Barry (Green) doesn't want to go on the road trip simply because he prefers to sit back and gain sadistic pleasure by watching Rubin's snake eat a mouse. Barry has never been out of the campus and is seen narrating this story to a group of visitors on the campus. The story has a nice fresh plot and some really hilarious bits. There is a good balance of sex and humour and the movie is a fun and entertaining watch. Best seen with a bottle of beer.

Thumbs up: Great plot
Thumbs down: Some more jokes

A Night at the Roxbury (1998)


Genre: Drama/Comedy

Starring: Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan, Gigi Rice, Elisa Donovan, Molly Shannon


Two very stupid and annoying brothers, Steve (Ferrell) and Doug (Kattan) Butabi go club-hopping in big hopes to find some good girls to flirt with and get laid. Their over-enthusiastic attitudes coupled with a stupid dressing sense doesn't get them anything except slaps and kicks. They have a huge ambition to start a nightclub of their own which would allow people like them to gain free access without standing in lines. Their brotherhood breaks over a disagreement and both their lives go for a toss. A pretty lame attempt at trying to make the audience laugh at stupidity which lacks any aspect of humour. The entire getup of Ferrel and Kattan are enough to put one off from watching the movie and any sane person should entirely stay away from this one.

Thumbs up: Tough to figure this one out
Thumbs down: Almost everything

Y Tu Mama Tambien (2001)


Genre: Drama/Adventure/Comedy

Starring: Diego Luna, Gael Garcia Bernal, Maribel Verdu

English Title: And Your Mother Too. In Mexico, two good friends, Julio (Bernal) and Tenoch (Luna) are complete casanovas who simply go about spending their fathers' money. Their girlfriends have gone for a trip to Italy and the boys intend to make the most of their freedom. At a wedding, they meet Luisa (Verdu) who is the Spanish wife of Tenoch's cousin. Tenoch and Julio start hitting on her and she tells them about her fantasy of going to the beach. They tell her about a non-existing plan of them going on a road trip to a non-existent beach known as Heavens Mouth, hoping that she would come along. Luisa initially refuses, but later a fight with her husband makes her change her mind. She believes that the boys were speaking the truth and embarks on the trip with them. The trio make a trip to a beach the don't know of and come across fun, betrayal, honesty and not to mention, lots of sex. The movie is not like any other sex-comedy which has corny jokes and very typical American teen humour. It seems quite original and simple and yet highly appealing. Nice performances by the trio and by keeping it sweet and simple anything can be interesting.

Thumbs up: Nice plot and performances
Thumbs down: Some more humour, but I'm not complaining

Role Models (2008)


Genre: Comedy/Romance/Drama

Starring: Seann Willian Scott, Paul Rudd, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Bobb'e J. Thompson, Elizabeth Banks, Jane Lynch

Wheeler (Scott) and Danny (Rudd) work for Minotaur, an energy drink manufacturing company. They hate their job, which includes visiting schools and convincing kids not to do drugs but drink Minotaur instead, something which is equally harmful. They end up driving the company truck up a statue and assault two police officers, due to which they land up with a jail term. Their only alternative is to do 150 hours of community service at Sturdy Wings, wherein they have to look after kids on weekends when they are lonely. Wheeler is pun in charge of Ronnie (Thompson) a 10-year old African-American with an extra abusive and sexual language. Danny, on the other hand has Augie (Mintz-Plasse) a kid who thinks he is living in a magical world. The movie is a bit boring and Paul Rudd's bored look doesn't do too much to lighten things up either. It lacks jokes and any form of humour that exists, fails to make you laugh.

Thumbs up: Christopher and Bobb'e's performance
Thumbs down: Bad humour, boring

Van Wilder: Freshman Year (2009)


Genre: Comedy/Romance/Drama

Starring: Jonathan Benett, Kristinn Cavallari, Jerry Shea, Nestor Aaron Absera, Steve Talley, Kurt Fuller, Nic Nac

Continuing the tradition of his forefathers, Van Wilder the fifth (Benett) comes to Coolidge College. Coolidge has changed drastically in the past few years and is now under military control. Dean Charles Reardon (Fuller) has imposed strict military regulations which includes a ban on partying and drinking. Van Wilder is about to change that. He starts hitting on the dean's right hand officer, Dirk's (Talley) girlfriend, Katilin (Cavallari) and proves it to her that his way of life is much better than Dirk's. The dean still holds a grudge against Van's father and along with Dirk, they want to throw Van out of Coolidge once and for all. Each side try and outdo the other, the dean by his army tactics and Van by throwing one amazing party. The movie title and Van's dog, Ballsack, are the only two things that have been kept in continuation with the previous two movies. Apart from that, all other traces are missing. The movie is a very regular sex-comedy and doesn't boast of being different.

Thumbs up: Good humour, although little
Thumbs down: Repetitive, very regular

Grandma's Boy (2006)


Genre: Comedy/Drama

Starring: Linda Cardellini, Allen Covert, Doris Roberts, Nick Swardson, Peter Dante, Shirley Jones, Joel Moore

Alex (Covert) is a video game tester who has just been evicted from his house for not paying his rent. Now homeless, he doesn't have a place to stay and out of desperation he crashes at his grandmothers house. His granny and her two roommates aren't all that bad as Alex had anticipated. They smoke weed, play video games, make out with guys a third of their age and do every possible thing that Alex would want them to do. The movie has no real story and its just about how Alex and his pals along with their new boss Samantha (Cardellini) have a great time together. The movie is definitely funny on more than one occasion which makes it an amazing watch if you have a bunch of freaky friends next to you. A drug peddler with a pet monkey who can do taekwondo, the companies game designer who keeps thinking he is a robot and one amazing party. The movie takes a little time to pick up, but when it does its time smartly invested.

Thumbs up: Humour and performance
Thumbs down: Slow start

Fanboys (2008)


Genre: Comedy/Drama/Adventure

Starring: Chris Marquette, Dan Fogler, Sam Huntington, Jay Baruchel, Kristen Bell

A group of Star Wars fanatics find it hard to move on in life. All they do is waste time and watch their favourite movie for the millionth time. Linus (Marquette) has cancer and has very little time left. Not enough time to wait for the new Star Wars movie to release. In order to give him something to live for, his childhood buddy Eric (Huntington) decides their entire group should do a road trip across the country and break into George Lucas' house to make Linus watch the movie before it releases. Windows (Baruchel) the group geek, wants to meet his online girlfriend and thinks this trip is the perfect chance. Zoe (Bell) loves Windows but cant tell him and Hutch (Fogler) simply wants to get laid. Travelling in Hutch's van aka space ship across the country makes them encounter a whole lot of adventures which includes beating up a gang of Stark Trek fans. The movie is hilarious but misses the point. More humour and playing more on the 'sex factor' would have helped the movie increase its appeal. Its not LOL funny, but funny enough to lighten you up.

Thumbs up: Good plot
Thumbs down: Could have used some 'American Pie' content to improve things

Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj (2006)


Genre: Comedy/Drama/Romance

Starring: Kal Penn, Lauren Cohan, Daniel Percival, Anthony Cozens, Holly Davidson

Continuing the tradition of his mentor, Van Wilder, Taj Mahal Badalandabad (Penn) travels to England to teach at Camford University. The college is divided as per houses and each member of the college must support a house. He receives an invite to join the Foxes and Hounds, the most prestigious house on campus, only to be rejected due to a typographical error which supposedly states that he cannot be a member of the house. He vows enmity with the house leader, Pip (Percival) and has a crush for his girlfriend Charolette (Cohan). He lands up being a part of the most disgraced house on campus, Cocks and Bulls and wants to change the way things happen in there. In order to do so, he decides to make the house take part in the Hastings Cup, which is an inter-house tournament and wishes to overthrow the consistent winners, the Foxes and Hounds. The movie is a huge improvement from the previous movie and a big step forward in being much more fun to watch. The jokes are still not good enough, but Kal Penn's performance is enough to keep your attention.

Thumbs up: Kal Penn all the way
Thumbs down: The humour can still be further improved

Van Wilder: Party Liasion (2002)


Genre: Comedy/Drama/Romance

Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Kal Penn, Tara Reid, Daniel Cosgrove

Van Wilder (Reynolds) is in his 7th year at Coolidge College. He is in there not because he consistently fails to pass but because he consistently makes himself fail. He loves staying on campus and everyone loves him for all that he does. From organising parties, helping guys hook up with girls and taking care of ill students, Van does it all. In fact he has so much on his plate, that he actually needs an assistant who turns out to be Taj Mahal Badlaandabad (Penn) whose last name literally means 'big dick land', is an exchange student from India and wants to learn the American way of life. Gwen (Reid) is a journalist, whose editor wants her to do an article on Van and his seven years at college. Van, however, is not going to give his interview so easily and has other things on his mind with Gwen. The movie is quite a lame attempt at being funny. It falls into the category of those movies which tried to do an American Pie but failed miserably. Reynolds looks a bit too out of place to pull of the role and Kal Penn, as usual plays the role of the sex-hungry Indian, a role I guess he is going to fulfill all his life.

Thumbs up: Prefer yawning rather than think this one out
Thumbs down: Plot and humour
