Jmac:
So we watched The Baby Sitter’s Club from the 90s because Kmac wanted to hear my smart ass comments about it while we were watching it. She is supposed to post my funniest impressions in her post.
The Baby Sitter’s Club was silly, just plain silly. I feel bad for all the dads that had to sit through it back in the day. The only thing that made it bearable was playing the ‘hey what's that chick’s name, I've seen her in something?’ and the ‘will they be hot when they grow up’ game. Answer 60% of them are, and coincidentally the bad guy girl in the Baby Sitter’s Club is the bad guy girl in Sugar and Spice from last week’s Force Watch. I hope this is not becoming a trend.... I can't take much more.
Anyway the movie follows a group of girls, that laugh, then cry, then argue, then cry some more, then supposedly learn something meaningful about life, then laugh, and then cry again.... all while rearing the next generation in the same shenanigans. Silly silly girls. I really had a hard time finding the nugget of the story, or what was the driving force.... I still don't know. Some chick who tucks her shirts into her boxers.... that’s right into her boxers, because she is suuuccchhh a Tomboy and has to prove it to everyone, has her deadbeat dad show back up and this causes stress between her and everyone she knows, because he doesn't want her to tell people he's back. This while the girls are trying to fix up a greenhouse for a new office, which I guess is the driving force of the movie... I don't know. Of course in the end everything works out for everyone, because this is America Dammit!! and everything always works out in ‘Merica.
I was soooo bored, and please God don't let me have girls.... I don't understand them at all.
I give it 2.3 girls yelling at others while crying when its their fault out of 5.
Kmac:
Regardless of what Jmac kept telling me, I had seen Lethal Weapon. I didn’t care for it because it is one of the quintessential 80’s action movies...and I just do not do action movies. This movie has the good cop, who is too old for these shenanigans, and the bad cop, who is just straight unhinged. They fight various crimes while solving a bigger mystery and because it is the 80’s there is cocaine and boobs everywhere. Hmmm... I wonder why I didn’t like this movie.
I’ll give the movie this in that it has its funny moments. Mel Gibson’s brand of crazy has always been funny to me in movies. His real life crazy is a whole other ball of wax. In one scene Mel Gibson calmly walks through a hail of bullets with a cigarette dangling from his lips as if it was a regular day. He catches the bad guy and we all have a laugh at the crazy man defying the laws of probability.
I wish I had more to say about this movie but is a genre that has been redone over and over. If you like the modern buddy cop movie you will like its ancestor. If you don’t like the buddy cop movie then you may want to rent The Breakfast Club and enjoy a true 80’s classic.
I give this movie 2 out of 5 criminals who are terrible shots.
*** I will be gathering up Jmac’s witticisms for their own post later tonight. When he gets ranting, he just goes on and on.
