BradWesley123's Movie Journal- August 2009

This was a pretty bad film. It was just too all-over-the-place to actually get a grip on.

Old School

A decent, if by-the-numbers follow up. It was nice to see the original cast back, and there were some great action scenes. The story is the weakest aspect of the film. It's way too thin, and you can see things coming a mile away.

Nowhere near as good as the original, but it has enough laughs to warrant its existence.

It was okay. Efron does a decent job breaking away from his Disney roots, but overall there aren't enough laughs from a plot that should result in more.

The Rock's last family film before he invaded every action movie franchise is a decent yarn that you'll enjoy in the moment, but probably won't remember it after it's over.

This is a solid film. Yes, it's wildly overlong, but the performances here are great, and Roger Deakins shots are some of the greatest in motion picture history.

Good, but forgettable.

An extremely underrated movie. The cast is great, and the story just has a nostalgic feel that not many films of this nature can pull off.
