Comedy: 17 Again- 2009


Nearly completely dissatisfied with his life, Mike O'Donnell (Matthew Perry) wonders what life would have been like if he had made other choices, and wishes for a "do-over", and is completely surprised to find out that he gets what he wants, only he doesn't travel back in time, he's 17, only this time, he has kids his age, and uses this opportunity to get to know them better from another perspective.


Grade: B-


This was a cute movie, of course. It was funny, and had all of the normal things you look for in a cute teen comedy. The acting is well done, and the laughs come fairly easily. Reno 911's Thomas Lennon's role was hilarious, certainly driving plenty of laughs. This was a sort of "moral of the story" movie. In the end, the grass is not always greener.

Romantic (teen) comedy: Nick and Norah's Infinate Playlist-2008


In an attempt to prove that she has a boyfriend, Norah grabs the first guy she sees and kisses him. Little does she know, the guy she kisses is Nick, her "friend's" ex, who still wasn't over her. In this movie, we fallow a group of teens on a night in New York, as they search for their favorite band's secret show.


Grade: C+


This was a cute comedy, and as usual, Michael Cera is funny and cute in his nerdy/shy way. The acting was decent, and the story was as well, it just felt like it was lacking something. If your looking for a cute, teenage love story type of movie, this is worth checking out.
