Get the Girl (2009)
One for the Ages
On the surface, Get The Girl is a standard romcom. It tells the tale of two lifelong friends, Diane and Calvin, who have always had each other backs. When Calvin begins showing feelings for Britney, a hottie at his work, he starts writing a love song for her. Diane helps but realizes it is SHE who has feelings for Calvin.
The girl who plays Britney is really hot. The song they write is better than most of Bono's lyrics. This script is airtight. Supporting performance from Kevin Patrick Flannery is spot on. Will this win an Oscar for best song? Yes. But it WILL go unnoticed at every other awards ceremony.
Club Dread (2004)
This movie ROCKS!!
This is a classic slasher movie with an awesome Broken Lizard twist. The jokes land, all the characters are distinctive and well developed, it's funny, charming, bloody, and unpredictable. Bill Paxton as Coconut Pete and M. C. Gainey as Hank really steal the show.
The Broken Lizard guys really are great actors. Every movie they do they play different characters which isn't easy to do. Steve Lemme and Jay are prime examples here. Pepper in some awesome kill scenes and great supporting characters and you've got a great flick.
Whoever came up with the Coconut Pete stuff deserves an award. BROKEN LIZARD 4 EVER!
