Step Brothers

[about Robert]

Brennan Huff: I'm not gonna call him Dad.

Nancy Huff: Brennan, you're 39 years old. I wouldn't expect you to call him Dad.

Brennan Huff: Well I'm not going to, *ever*! Even if there's a fire!

Will Ferrell, and John C. Reilly, in a movie together again were hilarious. Also together in Talladega Nights, these two were born to entertain. Step Brothers released in 2009, showed what it would be like for two middle aged men, acting as children, were to start living together as step brothers.

Will Ferrell playing Brennan, and John C. Reilly playing Dale, played to 40 year old unemployed, spoiled men who still live with their single parents. Their parents met, fell in love, got married, and moved in with each other. The competitions and arguments between Ferrell and Reilly is what made this movie truly memorable.

Step Brothers is another classic Will Ferrell movie. It is a good mood movie, and is able to make anyone laugh. I love pretty much all Will Ferrell movies, including this one, and I suggest everyone go see it.

The Hangover

Alan Garner: Hello. How 'bout that ride in? I guess that's why they call it Sin City.

[awkward laughter]

Alan Garner: You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack... it grew by one. So there... there were two of us in the wolf pack... I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, "Wait a second, could it be?" And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast!

The Hangover released in 2009, was one of the biggest surprise movies of year. This movie came out of nowhere and was completely unexpected. All of the sudden everyone was being told they had to go see this movie. This movie was an instant classic, and is already ranked on many lists as one of the funniest movies of all time.

Zach Galifianakis, who had just started becoming a popular actor, made his mark in this movie. Galifanakis, playing Alan, was an absolutely ridiculous character; from giving his friends roofies to carrying around a baby he found in his hotel room, Alan was hilarious.

The Hangover is what all guys view as the ultimate bachelor party. A trip to Vegas a few days before the wedding and everything going terribly wrong. This movie was a fantastic; the quotes seem never ending, and is known as the funniest movie of the decade.

Billy Madison

Teacher: Spell "couch".

Little girl: Couch. C-O-W...

Billy Madison: No!

Teacher: [to little girl] No, I'm sorry, that's not right.

[to Billy]

Teacher: Well, Billy, if you spell this correctly you pass second grade.

Billy Madison: Couch. C-O-R, uh, r you going to the mall today?

Teacher: No I'm not goin to the mall, keep spelling, mister.

Billy Madison: C-O-U-C-H!

Teacher: Correct!

Billy Madison: I AM THE SMARTEST MAN ALIVE!

Billy Madison, released in 1995, starring Adam Sandler, is well, a classic Adam Sandler movie. Adam Sandler had a streak of movies starting in the early 90’s, including Big Daddy, Happy Gilmore, Mr. Deeds, Waterboy, and Billy Madison that were absolutely hilarious. Adam Sandler generally plays an immature adult, which fit perfectly into the role of Billy Madison.

Billy Madison, was a spoiled kid growing up, who did not try in school. His father bribed his teachers to let him pass and eventually graduate, but when it was time for his father retire from his job, he did not feel comfortable handing the company over to Billy, because of his constant antics. The scene which truly portrayed who Madison was the first scene of the movie; Sandler stumbles in drunk out of his mind, chasing and imaginary human size penguin. He screams gibberish at this penguin and starts the movie out with a hilarious bang.

For Sandler to receive the company, he makes a bet with his father that he could go back to school, and pass all of the grades starting from kindergarten all the way through to 12^th grade, and if he graduated he would get the family business. Adam Sandler, a fully-grown man, in an elementary school classroom made for some great laughs and overall a fantastic movie. Many of the Adam Sandler movies are similar, but they are all entertaining and suggest going and seeing them all. 

My Cousin Vinny

Vinny: Is it possible, the two utes...

Judge: (Interrupting); Eh, the two what? Uh, uh, what was that word?

Vinny: Uh, what word?

Judge: Two what?

Vinny: What?

Judge: Uh, did you say ‘Utes’?

Vinny: Yea, two utes.

Judge: What is a ute?

Vinny: Oh excuse me, your honor. Two YOUTHS.

My Cousin Vinny, released in 1992, immediately became the perfect representation for a city boy in the south. Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei play a couple that traveled down to Beechum County Alabama. They had traveled to Alabama, because Pesci was the family lawyer, and had to protect his cousin who was wrongly accused or murder. Pesci who had been in and out of law school for close to a decade called himself a lawyer, but ultimately, Pesci or Gambini who he played in the movie, did not know anything about law or being a lawyer, and had to learn on the fly.

There are many great parts to this movie, but what many people remember about My Cousin Vinny is Marisa Tomei. Tomei playing Mona Lisa, Gambini’s wife, won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Tomei is remembered for several lines she made while arguing with her husband Pesci. She played the perfect city girl/ tourist, who had never been to any sort of countryside. Tomei walked around with a small digital camera snapping random shots, and making the couple stick out like a “sour thumb.” Among other things in this movie it proves how growing up in a tethered life can one ignorant about the rest of the world.

My Cousin Vinny, is personally one of my favorite movies, but it not the classic laugh your ass of comedy. There are short witty jokes that you can quote with your friends forever. Although, this movie was recognized when it came out as a great movie, receiving many awards, I feel that many have never even heard of this movie, which is confusing to me. My Cousin Vinny is fantastic, and everyone should add it to their movie collection at home.
