I thought this movie was going to be a lot better. I had heard such good things about it. This movie was not nearly as good as what I was hearing.

This is not the female version of The Hangover. It isn't even remotely as funny. In fact, I actually didn't find Bachelorette funny. It certainly wasn't funny enough to be labeled a comedy. It was much more of a drama.

With that being said, it wasn't all together bad. I enjoyed the cast, and I enjoyed the relationship between Gena and Clyde. In fact, this is really where the story was at for me. Lizzy Caplan made this movie.

Rebel Wilson wasn't even remotely used in her comedic wheelhouse, if she had the movie might have been funnier.

I enjoyed this movie to some degree. It was really just OK for me though. It kept me entertained and interested enough, but it was certainly lacking and definitely fell short.

The previews for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island made it look better than it actually was. The movie was only slightly better than I was expecting. The premise for Journey 2 was good. I enjoyed the idea, but the movie was taken to a really cheesy level.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Josh Hutcherson were truly the best part of this flick. They had good chemistry, and their characters and acting were decent. Yes, they brought some cheese, but very little in comparison to other characters. Vanessa Hudgens was OK. She really didn't bring much to the table neither through the character or her acting. Luis Guzman's character was AWFUL. He apparently was suppose to be the comic relief, but there was nothing funny about him or his jokes. His character actually brought the movie down in terms of its likability.

I also found this movie to be somewhat flawed in its creation. For instance, the jelly fish should have been large, but instead were regular size. I realize this is a kids & family movie and wasn't created for extreme accuracy, or Oscar wins. I, however, still enjoy consistency in my movies.

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island wasn't all that original, and EXTREMELY predictable. I pretty much knew everything that was going to happen before it happened. Some aspects of this movie felt like they were straight out of "Honey I Shrunk the Kids".

All-in-all, this movie was just alright. For a kid, it might have been much more enjoyable. For an adult, it was just too flawed, corny, and cheesy to amount to much.

The Help was brilliant and fantastic. The nominations and awards for this movie and its cast are well deserved.

I hate that a movie like this should or could be made. I watch in complete shock that a world like this could even exist...such idiocy and hatred. And yet, I have seen many movies similar to this before, and that doesn't diminish The Help's storyline or cast in anyway.

As previously stated, the cast of The Help was wonderful in executing the storyline. The movie was written exceptionally with a fantastic storyline/plot. The movie kept me highly interested. Overall, a ugly and beautiful tale worth watching!
