Half Baked

I haven’t reviewed any older movies yet, so today I am going to be reviewing Half Baked (1998). It falls under the Stoner film/comedy category. I saw this movie for the first time a couple days ago and I loved it.

The actors in this movie are not very well known, and the people who do know them know them from this movie. The main characters, a group of 4 pothead friends, are played by Dave Chappelle, Jim Breuer, Guillermo Díaz, and Harland Williams. I think they all did very well acting in this movie. All four friends had very different personalities, sharing one love in common: weed. I especially liked Dave Chapelle as an actor. He played as Thurgood Jenkins, the main character and leader of the friends. I would have liked to see him act in other movies after this, but he didn’t. Other than the main characters, popular actors and pot-legends Tommy Chong and Snoop Dogg made funny cameos throughout the movie.

I enjoyed the storyline for this movie very much. It is about a group of four pot-smoking, low life adults who live together in their apartment. When one member gets arrested for feeding a police horse candy while on munchie duty, they have to get of their asses and come up with a plan to get their buddy out of prison. They settle on selling stolen marijuana from a pharmaceutical lab to raise money. It’s a risky plan at first, but the friends soon find their phones ringing off the hook. It looks like they are going to get their friend out just fine until some big-time dealers start to get jealous. This movie reminds me of one of those old classic movies you can watch over and over again like The Sandlot or Forrest Gump. The plot was also great because it was hilarious. The list of funny scenes and lines is never-ending. And don’t be scared that this movie is only about marijuana either, it’s a lot more than that.

Even though I loved this movie, it was a little cheesy. It had to do partly with it being made in the 90’s but it didn’t seem very high-budget. The special effects were pretty bad and the filming wasn't the best. It didn’t bother me at all, I just thought it made it even better. But if those kinds of things bother you, this isn’t the movie for you.

Today I will be giving the top 5 lines from Half Baked. This list was very hard to write since there were so many lines to choose from

#1
Mary Jane Potman: My father's a drug dealer.
Thurgood Jenkins: Wow, that must've been the shit.
Mary Jane Potman: It ruined his life.
Thurgood Jenkins: That must've been shitty.
(Talking on their date)

#2
[quitting]
Scarface: F*** you, f*** you, f*** you, you're cool, and f*** you, I'm out!
(Talking to fellow employees)

#3
Brian: Get some sour cream and onion chips with some dip, man, some beef jerky, some peanut butter. Get some Häagen-Dazs ice cream bars, a whole lot, make sure chocolate, gotta have chocolate, man. Some popcorn, red popcorn, graham crackers, graham crackers with marshmallows, the little marshmallows and little chocolate bars and we can make s'mores, man. Also, celery, grape jelly, Cap'n Crunch with the little Crunch berries, pizzas. We need two big pizzas, man, everything on 'em, with water, whole lotta water, and Funyons.
Kenny: That's it?
(deciding what to get for munchies)

#4
Thurgood Jenkins: You have smoked yourself retarded.
(About Brian after his idea)

#5
Thurgood Jenkins: So, now we all live together in New York. I myself, am a master of the custodial arts. Or a janitor, if you wanna be a dick about it.

(Talking to Mary Jane)

The Office

Hey guys. I’m reviewing another TV series today to switch things up a bit. I will be reviewing The Office, my favorite TV show of all time. The Office premiered in 2005 and ran all the way until 2013, including 9 seasons. It is rated number 4 on IMDb’s list of Most Popular Sitcoms ever, and there are plenty of reasons why.
(Season 9 cover courtesy of https://en.wikipedia.org)

My favorite thing about The Office are the characters. The reason I believe the show gets better every season is because the characters become more and more developed. I really started to feel a connection with the characters my first time watching the show. The Office starred many great actors including Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Mindy Kaling and Ed Helms. I think everyone who acted in the show performed very well. They all did a great job really showing the characters personalities, some even so much that they will always be known for the character they played (Rainn Wilson as Dwight Schrute for example). Some people came and went through out the show, and new actors would appear every season, but I was always satisfied with the new characters.

The plot for this show is rather quite simple: employees working at a paper company. I know, it doesn’t sound that great. But that’s what makes the show so great. Such a simple topic led to infinite possibilities for episodes. We’ve seen everything from an office basketball game to a Moroccan-themed Christmas party. The plot is funny, entertaining, sad, happy and dramatic, the list goes on forever. One of my favorite parts of the plot was getting to know the relationships between the characters. We saw everything from unlikely friendships to crazy love affairs to archenemies.

The only thing I could say bad about this show is that I think it got a little worse when the regional manager, Michael Scott (Steve Carell) left in season 7. Don’t get me wrong, they delivered his departure very well and made up for it in later seasons, but I was always missing a little Michael Scott.

One of my favorite parts of the show is the relationship between Jim and Dwight. Jim is known for constantly messing with and playing pranks on Dwight. It’s hilarious. So today, i’m going to give you guys my Top 10 pranks Jim has pulled on his fellow salesman.

10. Pavlov Theory
Jim experiments with Dwight using the Pavlov theory, a classic experiment that trains dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell. Every time Jim turns on his computer, he feeds Dwight an Altoid to the chime of Windows XP. Soon, Dwight expects the treat when he hears the computer.

9. Vending Machine
Jim replaces all of the snacks in the vending machine with Dwight’s stuff, forcing him to pay for all of his belongings to get them out. Classic.

8. Asian Jim
Jim and Pam have their asian actor friend come in dressed as Jim. He acts exactly like Jim and tells Dwight things only the real Jim would say, convincing Dwight that Jim was asian the whole time.

7. Jell-O
This is the first prank Jim ever pulled on Dwight, but its still top 10. Jim puts Dwight’s stapler in Jell-O causing him to freak out and exclaim “Michael!” as usual.

6. Wrapping Paper Desk
Dwight comes in to the office to find that Jim haas wrapped his desk in wrapping paper. He tosses his briefcase on to the desk and sits down, only to realize that the desk was completely made of wrapping paper, causing him to fall on his ass.

5. Vampire
A bat gets loose in the office, and all hell breaks loose. Jim pretends he got bit by the bat and starts to act strange. He complains about his teeth getting pointy, his neck hurting, a reaction to garlic bread and the excessive amount of light in the office, convincing Dwight he is turning into a vampire.

4. Holy Grail
This prank takes place when Jim is working at Athlead, a company he and his friends started in Philadelphia. Pam calls him, asking if he sent Dwight on a quest for the Holy Grail. Jim remembers that years ago he stayed late after work setting up the prank. He left clues and hints all over the office, convincing Dwight the Holy Grail was hidden somewhere in the office.

3. Garden Party
Jim finds out that Dwight is hosting a garden party for Andy on his farm. Being the prankster that he is he writes a book titled “Throwing a Garden Party” by “James Trickington”. Of course, Dwight fall for it, making him throw a garden party with strange costumes and ridiculous ceremonies.

2. Impersonating Dwight
Jim comes in to the office dressed completely like Dwight. Of course, it causes Dwight to freak out. Jim argues with him over “which bear is best” and obsesses over Dwight’s favorite show, Battlestar Galactica.

1. A.A.R.M

My number one is one of the last pranks Jim ever played on Dwight. It takes place in season 9 when Dwight is Regional Manager and Jim is his number 2. Dwight sends Jim on a mission to find himself a number 3, or Assistant to the Assistant Regional Manager. Jim goes through a series of tests and competitions with the employees, convincing Dwight that he is the only worthy employee for the position. Jim crowns him A.A.R.M, making him the assistant to his own assistant.

Ant-Man

Hey everyone. I wanna start this post off with telling everyone how surprised I am that I haven’t written about any Marvel superhero movies yet. Other than comedies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is my secret obsession. Make fun of me if you want, but I’ve read all the comics and seen all the movies multiple times, and no series even comes close to being as bad-ass.

Ant-Man cover courtesy of http://www.imdb.com)
Today I will be reviewing Marvel’s Ant-Man (2015). Although receiving mixed reviews, I’ve come to realize that most of the people who make fun of the movie are people who have never even seen it before. I’ll admit, the name “Ant-Man” doesn't sound that amazing, but an ex-burglar receiving a suit that can shrink his size, increase his strength and control an army of ants from a scientist trying to stop bad guys from replicating his work definitely does. This is one of my all-time favorite movies and one of my favorite from the MCU.

Like usual, we will start with the actors. Paul Rudd starred as Ant-Man (Scott Lang), playing a character much different than what we are used to seeing. Rudd is more well-known for his comedies, such as Anchorman, Wet Hot American Summer, and The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Even though his role as Ant-Man was a little out of his comfort zone, I think he did an amazing job. I wouldn’t be surprised if this movie was the catalyst of his non-comedy movie career. He did a great job acting really well in the all the serious and dramatic scenes, while also letting his true personality shine in some of the funny scenes. I am really excited to see Rudd in future MCU films.

The plot of this movie was fantastic. In my opinion, it was one of the best story lines of all 12 movies in the MCU so far. To make a long story short, Dr. Hank Pym was forced out of his own company by his protégé, Darren Cross. Cross was infatuated with replicating Pym’s formula for the mysterious Pym Particle, which could decrease the space in between atoms while still maintaining strength. To save the world from Cross’ technology, Pym recruits the talents of master thief Scott Lang, who was just released from prison. Dr. Pym trains Lang to become the Ant-Man, teaching him how to shrink in size, possess superhuman strength, and control on army of ants using the Ant-Man suit. Using his new powers, Lang must pull off a heist to prevent Cross from perfecting the same technology and using it for evil. This story was jam-packed with amazing effects, laughs, and scenes that send chills down your arm. I also loved how they tied Ant-Man in with the Avengers. We saw cameos from Chris Evans (Captain America), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), and Evangeline Lilly (Wasp). We also heard references about Spiderman, Iron Man, The Mandarin, S.H.I.E.L.D and Hydra, and The Avengers in Sokovia.

5. First Time in the Suit
This scene has to be on the list. It’s Scott Lang’s first experience with the suit. After breaking into Dr. Pym’s house and stealing the Ant-Man suit, he tries it on and has quite the adventure. Escaping bathtubs, fights with “giant” rats and navigating through the neighbor’s party makes this scene one of the best.

4. Prison Break
After wanting nothing to do with the suit, Scott tries to return it to Dr. Pym’s house. While trying, he gets caught by the police and ends up back in jail. To help him out, Dr. Pam orders an army of his ants to deliver the shrunken Ant-Man suit. Being forced to put it on, he slips into the suit, shrinks, and escapes just in the knick of time. The rest of the scene includes his first experience with ants up close and his first time riding his flying ant, both things that make this movie amazing.


3. Infiltrating Pym Technologies
After planning the heist, the first thing to do is to break into Pym Tech. Using the water pipes, Scott breaks in with the help of an army of various ants. This scene is action-packed with plenty of amazing fighting scenes and special effects.

2. Ant-Man vs. Falcon
I couldn’t decide to make this scene #1 or #2. It’s the first time you get to really see Ant-Man in action. It takes place right after his training when Dr. Pym asks him to retrieve a piece of technology from an old facility. He flies to the building, only to realize that it’s the Avenger’s facility. There he engages in a full-fledged battle with The Falcon. Sorry for the spoilers, but Ant-Man kicks his ass.

1. Ant-Man vs. Yellowjacket
This scene just has to be #1 on everyone’s list. It’s the final battle between Ant-Man and Yellowjacket. It mostly takes place in Scott Lang’s daughter, Cassie’s room. They fight, switching between man-size and insect-size. I love the special effects in this scene. They fight mostly in insect-size, using Cassie’s toys such as a Thomas the Train train set to fight in. Also, Scott's first time in the Quantum Realm is fun to watch. It’s really cool.

Wilfred

We’re gonna switch it around a little this time. Today I am going to be reviewing a TV series instead of the usual movie. We are  going to be talking about the TV series Wilfred (2011), a comedy based on a popular Australian series of the same name. First off, this is one of my favorite shows - and it is WIERD. I’d say 90% of people who have tried watching this show have hated it, and I’ve only been able to turn one of my friends on to it. But it is an amazing show, and I’ll tell you why.

Season 2 cover (Image courtesy of https://en.wikipedia.org)

Wilfred is about a young man named Ryan Newman who is struggling to find his place in the world. He is depressed, confused and facing family and work problems. But everything changes when he meets his neighbors dog, Wilfred. Everyone else sees Wilfred as just a dog, but Ryan sees him as a full grown pot-smoking, hard-drinking Australian man in a cheap dog suit. Ryan develops a unique friendship with Wilfred, and they go on a series of comical adventures as Wilfred teaches Ryan to overcome his fears and live life in the world around him.

Like usual, I’m gonna start off with the actors. Ryan was played by Elijah Wood, who is known to most as Frodo in The Lord of the Rings. Wood did an excellent job playing Ryan. He showed both parts of Ryan’s personality perfectly. He was the perfect fit to portray Ryan’s kind-hearted, shy personality along with his strange, awkward, emotionally unstable side. I also think Elijah Wood just had that perfect look for Ryan’s character.

Next off, Wilfred. Wilfred was played by Jason Gann, one of the creators of the show. Gann was also a perfect fit for the character he was playing. He did a great job showing Wilfred’s mysterious, shady yet lovable and funny character. Also, one of my favorite things about Wilfred is his accent. Wilfred wouldn’t be Wilfred without his heavy, hard to understand Australian accent. Gann really did an excellent job making this show what it is.

If I had to use one word to describe the plot for this story, it would be “confusing”. And “weird”. And “funny”. You really can’t describe it in one word. And that’s what I love about it, there are so many different factors that make it a great show. One of my favorite of these factors are the brain games. This show really messes with your head, either with plot twists, cliffhangers, or tricks. The main plot of the show is Ryan trying to figure out who Wilfred is, where he came from, and what his goals are. Lots of episode and scenes leave you thinking that Wilfred is bad. But by the end of the show, you realize that everything Wilfred did was to help Ryan, even if he went a little over the top to reach these goals. Not only was this show amazing in that way, but it was hysterical too. Wilfred is classified as a dark comedy. And it definitely satisfied the comedy part. The show made fun of how dogs act in many ways, and it was hilarious seeing a man act that way. For example, Wilfred would often chase birds, eat human food off the table, and make love to his stuffed bear. Wilfred would try to talk to people, completely unaware that they could not hear him. He also had a hilarious relationship with his best friend Ryan. They would fight and play tricks on each other, and later be drinking beers on the couch. I think the plot to this series was really well done, and there is so much to the show than meets the eye.

Since there are too many episodes to choose my favorite scenes or lines, I’m gonna give you guys a list of my top ten episodes…

10. Conscience

9. Pride

8. Identity

7. Dignity

6. Questions

5. Confrontation

4. Distance

3. Regrets

2. Courage

1. Happiness (Season 4)



So that’s it. I would give this show a solid 9/10. Remember to comment any movies or TV shows that you want me to review. Thanks for reading!

Neighbors

This time around, we are going to be reviewing Neighbors (2014) starring Seth Rogen and Zac Efron. This movie was definitely one of the better of the many frat house movies coming out now a day. It was full of funny lines and scenes, and not to mention I thought it had an excellent storyline. Neighbors also had a kick-ass cast that definitely contributed to the success of the movie. Now let’s talk about that cast first.
Movie Cover (Image courtesy of http://www.imdb.com)

Seth Rogen played Mac Radner, one of the main characters in the movie. Mac Radner was a new parent to a newborn baby. Him and his wife Kelly, played by Rose Byrne, just moved into a new home in the suburbs. I thought Rogen’s character was hilarious. I loved how his “party-animal” personality was exposed throughout the movie. It was also great seeing Seth Rogen play an older, more mellow husband role instead of a party-hard bachelor like usual. But like I have always said, I think Rogen lacks the ability to play a variety of characters. If you are a Seth Rogen fan like me, then you will like this movie. (If you haven’t noticed, all three movies I have reviewed have had Rogen in them). If you are like some people that aren't too crazy about him, this isn’t the movie for you.

Now let’s talk about the counterpart, Teddy Sanders, played by Zac Efron. Neighbors is undeniably the movie that could jump start Efron’s career in the comedy business. I thought he did an excellent job in this movie, and I definitely want to see him again in the near future. Efron played the president of the fraternity Delta Psi Beta, that moved in right next to the Radner family. Along with his vice-president Pete, played by Dave Franco, they threw crazy parties and caused trouble every night. Efron’s performance in this movie reminded me a lot of Dave Franco. I think these two could make an excellent partnership for movies in the future.

Some familiar names that played supporting roles include Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone.

The storyline for this movie was awesome. I’m usually not the biggest fan of frat movies since there are so many coming out these days, but this one was really good. In summary, new parents Mac and Kelly Radner move into a suburban neighborhood with their newborn daughter. All goes well until a fraternity known as Delta Psi Beta moves in next door. Mac and Kelly don’t want to seem uncool, so they try to fit in with the college students. But when a crazy frat party starts, the parents call the cops on the college students, and a full blown war erupts. The funniest part of the movie for me was seeing the married couple try to compete with the young crazy college students. The pranks that they pulled on each other were hilarious. I would also give the party scenes an A+, especially the one where Mac and Kelly get involved.

Because this movie had so many funny lines, here is the Top 5 lines from Neighbors

#5
Jimmy: Let's make a baby!
Paula: Yes, that will solve all our problems.
(When Mac’s buddy is trying to solve problems with his wife)

#4
Teddy Sanders: I’m Batman.
Mac Radner: Nah dude, I’m batman. This is what batman sounds like.
(Discussing who is the better batman at the party)

#3
Teddy Sanders: You make the store more approachable.
Mac Radner: Like, I'm more of an attainable goal?
Teddy Sanders: Yeah, you're like Relaxed Fit.
(When Mac and Teddy model shirtless in front of a store)

#2
Officer Watkins: You called about your neighbors?
Mac Radner: No.
Officer Watkins: We have caller ID, we're cops, everybody has caller ID.
(When Mac and Kelly call the cops)

#1
Dean: I don’t think that would ever make it to print. I don’t know where you went to school.
Mac Radner: I went here, ok? That’s why I’m dumb.
(Arguing with the fraternity's dean about the problems they are having)



So that’s it for this review. I would give this movie a 9/10 overall. Stay tuned for more great movie reviews. Also, leave a comment telling me what movie to review next!

Superbad

Hey everyone I’m back for my second of many posts. This time around I am going to be reviewing the movie Superbad (2007) starring Jonah Hill and Michael Sera. This is probably the movie that kick-started Jonah Hill’s fame, and I dont blame it. He did an excellent job acting in this movie just as I said in my last post. They couldn't have found a better actor to play Seth in this movie. Hill just has that perfect overweight high school loser look and is definitely the type to show Seth’s profane explicit behavior and language. But that just adds to the hilarity.

Overall, I thought Michael Sera’s was weak. I think he had the potential to deliver a great performance, but it just didn’t work out as well as it should have. He was kind of quiet throughout the movie, and didn't have too many funny scenes or lines. I thought the movie was a little too targeted towards Seth (Jonah Hill), where they should have given Evan (Michael Cera) more time to shine. Even Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), or as many might remember him, McLovin, was a funnier, more entertaining, and more developed character that was a lot more talked about than Evan.

Fogell was my favorite character in the movie. Christopher Mintz-Plasse did an amazing job potraying him as so did the costume designers as you can see below:

 Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Image courtesy of http://movies.dosthana.com)

Mintz-Plasse as Fogell (Image courtesy of http://www.fandango.com)

Of course, one of the best parts of the movie was the whole relationship between Fogell and the cops. Fogell’s voice and appearance alone made you laugh, not to mention that he was the star of most of my favorite scenes. Some of these scenes include the fake ID encounter with the cops, the stopping of the crazy drunk at the bar, and the scene with the girl at the party (not going into detail).

My second favorite characters in the film have got to be the police officers. Although Seth Rogen (Officer Michaels) and Bill Hader (Officer Slater) are usually more accustomed to playing more of a lead role in their movies. They also did an excellent job acting in this movie. Just like Fogell, the cops were a part of the funniest scenes in the movie. I loved how they never followed the rules of being cops and were always getting into trouble. I mean who doesn’t like cops running from the cops?

For the storyline, I thought it was ok. It was undeniably funny and a definite cure for boredom, but just wasn’t the most creative story. It was exactly what was expected. I thought it relied a little too much on profanity and f-bombs to deliver. In my opinion, there are just too many movies about high school parties, drinking, and drugs anyway. So overall, I think the writers did an excellent job creating a funny entertaining movie, it just wasn’t the best movie of all time.

Although Superbad wasn't a perfect 10/10, it did have a lot of funny lines. So here is my top 5 lines:

#5 
Seth: Gimme that. All right, you look like a future pedophile in this picture, number 1. Number 2: it doesn't even have a first name, it just says “McLovin”!
(about Fogell’s new Fake ID)

Fogell's fake ID (Image courtesy of http://celluloidamazing.blogspot.com)

#4
Evan: Fogell, shut the **** up. And take that vest off. You look like Aladdin.
(getting ready to go to the party)

#3
Officer Michaels: (hears a siren) Oh **** the cops!
(when the police start coming after Fogell and the officers)

#2 
Officer Michaels: McLovin?
Fogell: Yeah
Officer Michaels: Great name.
Officer Slater: It is, it just rolls of the tongue
Officer Michaels: Sounds like a sexy hamburger!
(about Fogell’s fake ID)

#1
Officer Michaels: How old are you McLovin?
Fogell: Old enough.
Officer Michaels: Old enough for what?
Fogell: To party.
(about the fake ID)



So that’s it. Overall I would give this movie a 7/10. I definitely recommend it if you’re bored or looking for a laugh. Stay tuned for more reviews soon.

First Post/21 Jump Street

Hey everyone. I'm gonna start off this blog with one of the best movies ever made, 21 Jump Street. Before I get started, I would like to let everyone know that I am a comedy nut. Almost every movie I watch is a comedy. So if you notice a new blog post, there's a good chance it's gonna be about a comedy. So what better way to get started than with 21 Jump Street?

Movie Cover (Image courtesy of wikipedia.org)
First off, the actors. Jonah Hill is one of my favorite actors. Unlike fellow actors Seth Rogen or Vince Vaughn, Hill has a wide variety of characters he can play. We have seen everything from money-loving, drug addicted Donnie Azoff in The Wolf of Wall Street to party-loving, high-ambition teenage loser Seth in Superbad. I think Hill was the perfect actor to portray Schmidt in 21 Jump Street. His ability to play shy, "good-for-nothing" characters made Schmidt one of the best, if not the best, character Hill has ever played.

On the other hand, Channing Tatum was also perfect for his role as Jenko. I think one of the funniest parts of the movie was the differences between Schmidt and Jenko, and Tatum was the perfect actor to show Jenko's careless, bad-ass attitude. For a full list of cast and crew, go here.

The storyline of this movie was one of my favorites also. It was totally entertaining, original, unique, and hilarious. Seeing cops re-live high school is bound to make a great story. Since this movie is a comedy and I love comedies, I’m gonna give you guys my top 5 funny scenes.

5. First Day of School
This scene appears on my top 5 list for a reason. Seeing how times have changed since the undercover cops went to high school was hilarious. One of my favorite lines in the movie is when Jenko says “Let’s park in the handicap spot, it makes us look cool.” Also, seeing Jenko and Schmidt arguing over whether to “one-strap” or “two-strap” their backpacks was great. But the funniest part of this scene has to be when Jenko punches the kid in the face because he is trying hard in school.

4. Car Chase 
This scene was packed to the max with funny lines and scenes. First of all, let’s all just take a second to appreciate Schmidt’s Peter Pan costume and Jenko's chemistry project jacket. This made the scene twice as good. Seeing the two cops running from the drug supplying bikers by stealing pink Volkswagen Beetles and exploding trucks full of chickens is bound to make anyone laugh.

3. Prom 
Seeing Jenko and Schmidt coming out of a limo filled with doves with a group full of nerds wearing all white tuxedos has to be the highlight of the movie. Along with the hilarious fight scenes and the twist ending (not giving anything away), this scene makes my top 5.

2. Drug Scene 
I’d say this is the most talked about scene in the movie. And it has every right to. Jenko and Schmidt find the HFS dealer, but are forced to take the drug in front of him to “prove that they are cool”. After that, a whole string of hilarious scenes follow including the cops trying to make themselves throw up the drugs in the bathroom stalls and trying to talk to teachers under the influence. Watch the movie and you will understand why this scene is #2.

1. First Arrest 
This is my favorite scene by far. This scene takes place after the cops first become cops. It shows Jenko and Schmidt biking around a park on police bikes helping people getting frisbees out of ponds and telling kids to not feed ducks. One of my favorite lines in this movie is when Jenko says “I really thought this job would have more car chases and explosions.” which I think is totally true about cops. But the part that has to top it all is when they are playing with the guns that they are pretty sure aren’t loaded. 


So yeah, that’s it for my first blog post. I would give this movie a 9/10 overall. Hope it wasn't too bad and you guys will keep reading.
