With his wedding just days away and national media descending on his town, Howard's under the gun to prove just how much of a man he is. (Netflix.com)

Grade: B+

This is another one that I remembered watching a long time ago, but didn't really remember the movie, so decided to watch it again, and was quite happy that I did. This movie really is funny, and, given the topic, a pretty light-hearted, fun comedy. The acting in it was great. I love Joan Cusack, I think she's always funny, and Tom Selleck's part was pretty funny too. As for Howard Brackett, Kevin Kline, they could not have found a better person to play the part. He rode that thin line between questioningly feminine and downright gay the entire time so well, and there were so many laugh out loud moments, for example, the scene where he's "testing his masculinity", pretty funny. Like I said before, this is lighthearted and fun, and if your looking to watch something NOT serious, this is a good one to check out!

Musical/Comedy: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog- 2008

Conceived during the 2008 Hollywood writers' strike, Joss Whedon's quirky musical comedy originally debuted as an online miniseries. (Netflix.com)

Grade: B

This was a really funny spin on a musical. Neil Patrick Harris is great in this, and the story is a cute romantic comedy meets comic book fun! It wasn't that lengthy, which is probably a good thing, because I'm not sure that it would have been as good had it been the length of an average movie. This is a good one if you want to just pop in a quick movie for some light hearted laughs, absolutely nothing too serious about this, but lots of fun to watch.

Family Comedy: Old Dogs- 2009

Middle aged, successful businessman Dan is suddenly surprised to find out that he is the father of seven year old twins. When a situation arises leaving him, and his thirty year business partner "uncle Charlie" the only people available to watch the kids for two weeks, it leaves him little time to learn how to be a dad.

Grade: C+

This was a cute family movie, that actually had it's "laugh out loud" moments. Robin Williams and John Travolta make a somewhat "odd couple" duo, and Seth Green adds to this strange little gang. This movie was full of cameos by a ton of funny actors, making it all the more enjoyable. This was not some sort of deeply sophisticated movie, just a nice, lighthearted family flick that's sure to make your kids laugh!

Romantic Comedy: Penelope- 2006

Locked away in her home by her parents, because of a curse, Penelope searches for her true love, the only way to break it. Through her search she gains so much more than a broken curse, in this fairy tale story.

Grade: A-

This was an incredibly cute story, that pretty much fallows the fairy tale guide lines. This was not only funny, and heart warming, but also a journey into a young woman's self discovery. Christina Ricci plays this part beautifully, and the entire cast does a wonderful performance as well. If you're the type of person that can let your imagination run, and get into a fairy tale story, this is the one for you. It is certainly worth watching.
