Despicable Me 2/Tropic Thunder Review DOUBLE FEATURE

Alo Party Peoples. This week was going to be a review of Tropic Thunder, but a friend had tickets to a press screening of Despicable Me 2. So I will split this post into two parts. One to review an all audiences family movie that hasn't come out yet and another for an R rated Jack Black and Ben Stiller comedy from 2008.

Lets get started.



First off Despicable Me 2. It's enjoyable. It's not as good as the first one. The 3D doesn't make a significant difference so don't spend the extra money. The minions are as hilarious as ever. Underdeveloped villain. If you have kids you will probably end up seeing this anyway, so know it's not bad.

On the Meter, a rating of Good/10 out of 14.

As for Tropic Thunder. I liked it. I love Jack Black. He's great in this. Love the premise, which is that a bunch of superstar actors try to make a war movie, but end up stranded in the middle of Southeast Asia in the territory of a drug cartel, leads to a great 106 minutes. It's funny as hell. Rating of Pretty Good/11 out of 14.










Hats off to all. And see you next week.
