In Retrospect: Rough Night

You know, I think I enjoyed this movie more on a second viewing.

It really is a funny movie with a lot of reasonably crazy women, so I obviously am going to enjoy myself. It certainly brightened up my day when I rented it. The comedy though crude at moments just made me crack up! This is a hilarious movie that deals with some pretty dark, grim stuff like everyone's favorite topic at social gatherings: Murder. And yet....it still is greatly amusing. It's like Clue, all these rather eccentric people gather together for a gathering, someone dies, and they try to evade police and other visitors who could see the body. And I loved that movie! Still do! So yeah, I still recommend it to people wanting a fun time. Kate McKinnon still just slays me, like seriously she deserves to be in more movies. My God, just her comedic timing and her facial expressions are comedy gold to me! She just never ceases to make me laugh, and steals the whole damn movie easily. Scarlett is fun but can bring the drama a bit, which I can appreciate so it's not comedy for the sake of comedy. Jillian Bell is kinda well....she's just not nice, let's put it at that but it shocked me at the reason why. I mean that scene has some real raw emotion in it and can hit home for some people. It's a good movie and should be seen again, I certainly enjoyed it more on a second viewing so maybe you will too.

Now, I know there was a movie that hit video yesterday. I want to assure you I did not forget (not by a long shot) so be patient. It will work out. And hopefully, I can get two brand new movie reviews out before next week. So until then, have fun peeps!

Rough Night

I needed a break from Transformers, so here we go!

Rough Night is a quite enjoyable comedy about a group of friends who, one day set up a bachelorette party and it turns into as the title says a rough night. All seems to be going well until a stripper comes and you know, they kinda, maybe, sort of accidentaly bash his brains out on the nice white tile floors and have to hide the body. It happens. So the whole night is ruined as our group of friends try to evade jail time for manslaughter. Oh well, it leads to some decent comedy and some of the events that unfold you surprisingly don't see coming and hell, even one little scene hit me right in the heart because of how unabashedly real it is. But I almost want to say the movie is a vehicle for these talented ladies comedy, it is, but it tells a decent story as well. The Lady Scarlett is in this movie which always makes me happy and she does have bursts of comedy but isn't afraid to bust the waterworks, although I have to really say Kate McKinnon slayed me! She was kinda the best part of the movie, and I know how blasphemous that is to me but it's true! That Australian accent just brings such joy to me! And the rest of the ladies like Jillian Bell and Ilana Glaze were really putting their all into this, so they of course have to be commended. Did I enjoy seeing the movie? Yes, absolutely. Would I buy it? Well, probably not. Rent it for a movie night with friends, without a doubt but not buy it. Do I recommend you see it in the theaters? Yeah, if you got nothing to do that day, you feel kinda bored, make a trip to the theater and see if it makes your day a bit better! Well that's all for this week, tune in next week to finish the Michael Bay shit sandwhich and cap it off with another In Retrospect. Take care everybody!
