I wanted very patiently for this movie for a few of reason. Reason 1: I loved this movie as a kid! I used to watch it all the time even though Medusa scared the crap out of me Reason 2: Sam Worthington - after seeing him in Terminator Salvation last summer I was in love Reason 3: this was the first movie I was going to watch in the D-Box seats.

My review of this movie might be a little slighted because of those damn D-Box seats. They were amazing. They take the whole movie watching experience to the next level. Seriously one of the best movie experiences I have ever had. Totally worth the wait. I really think it makes the movie 10 times better.

Now on to the actual movie....Sam Worthington is amazing. Yeah yeah he might lose his accent a few times but the upskirt shots make up for it. He is truly a beautiful man! I am going to really enjoy seeing him in many many movies to come. This is the type of movie that might only be great in the theaters. I think it will lose some pizazz once its inserted into your blu-ray player. Good movie but the D-Box seats made it so much better. Its not a bad remake. Bubo made a quick cameo...I would have liked to see him in the whole movie.

I am a sucker for a comedy. If you make me laugh in the trailer I will most likely go see the movie. I know, I know...the movie makers don't make the trailer and the publicity department does but still, I'm a sucker!

The title alone makes you laugh. You know going into this movie that its not going to be an academy nominated picture and thats ok. Who doesn't need a laugh in these horrible economic times (seriously....is anyone reimbursing me for these movie tickets?)

The cast was great...John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry and my favorite Clark Duke! Not much more to say...the title gives away the movie. Anyone that remembers the 80's will enjoy this movie. Play a little game while watching it and try to pick out all the 80's movie lines quoted throughout the movie.

The way I see most of the movie trailers is off of Flixster on my iPhone. I stumbled upon this trailer a few months ago and thought it look adorable. I never read the books since but the trailer made me laugh a out loud.

I really enjoyed this movie. I think I laughed throughout the whole thing. The kids that played the major parts were adorable. Zachary Gordon who played Greg and Robert Capron who played his best friend Rowley were the perfect pair. This is totally a movie that the whole family would enjoy. Simple, clean and funny humor.

Kids, parents and even some grandparent will enjoy this movie. I will put this in the category of The Sandlot as a great funny family movie.

I was really excited to see that this movie was playing at the local Santikos close to my house. Its not that often that we get a quiet independent film out in the 'burbs.

I read a few things about this film and wanted to see it but I knew that since it was a Roman Polanski film that I wanted to see this on the big screen. There is nothing prettier than a Polanski film. I love the way they look. I get lost in each scene.

I really enjoyed this movie. Ewan MacGregor, the ghost writer, was great in the movie along with Pierce Bronsan as the British Prime Minister and Olivia Williams as the PM's wife. I was surprised with Kim Cattrall supporting role as the PM's secretary. The cast was great in this movie.

Defiantly check this movie out. The look, the story and the actors are all great!
