About Time (2013)
Quite funny. Really enjoyable
When my hubby said the movie was a bit sci-fi and probably not my type, I was a bit hesitant about attending the preview. We went along with my sisters and some female friends. I really enjoyed the movie and was chuckling away to myself. The gags were good. The movie pace kept me entertained. Domhnall and Rachel were very good and Billy Nighy and Lindsay Duncan had some quite funny lines. The main characters were all pretty good. It makes you think about life and if you could go back and change some things in your life like Tim has done and the resulting consequences.
Six out of seven of us really enjoyed the movie and would recommend it. I reckon it will be one that will be added to our home collection when it is out on DVD.
The Smurfs 2 (2013)
Boring for adult
While I have seen a fair number of kids movies over my time (having three children), I, like one of the other reviewers, found the movie boring and did not enjoy. However, my 8 year old really enjoyed it and said we have to buy that movie. I had not seen the prequel to this movie, but it would probably not have improved my review. I did not think the actors were great. Having seen Brendan Gleeson in different roles, it was unusual to see him playing this character and he seemed way out of place. The movie had some touching scenes that step-parents and step children will appreciate. I thought some of the effects were over the top but I guess the movie is aimed mostly to entertain children.
