A Minha Casa Caiu

No matter what else is said.. the movie officially begins at the eleven minute mark when she puts on that 'can't hardly describe it' yellow dress. From that point on, it is the honest reason why you're staying watching this movie. Overall the film is cute, and has a chuckle or two (some scenes are in fact very funny).. but it's that dress sticking in your mind keeps you watching. That and the perfect hair... that's 'wanna own up to it or not' is the essence of this film. You'll watch all the rest, and not very long after will not easily remember any of it. But should the vision of that dress come back to mind, it'll bring back much more than you thought you'd ever recall.

To my delightful surprise, this movie proved to be one of the finest comedies I've come across in recent years. It had me laughing like never before, a refreshing experience after a long time. Meghan Miles delivered an outstanding performance, undoubtedly the best character in the movie. The pookie guy's hilarious accent served as the cornerstone of the comedy, leaving a lasting impression. The movie's humorous moments revolving around the crack house and pot were nothing short of a laugh riot. Yet, despite its comedic brilliance, the film remains highly underrated.

I find myself craving more movies of this caliber that can evoke such genuine laughter. This hidden gem deserves greater recognition and appreciation. It's a must-watch for anyone seeking a hearty dose of laughter and an unforgettable comedic experience.

Elizabeth Banks plays a local reporter who has a chance to move up to the big time but that's largely dependent on her making it to an interview. The problem is while she was having a one-night stand with bartender James Marsden, her car was towed, and now she's stranded in downtown LA with no car, no money, and no phone.

I really looked forward to this. I like Elizabeth Banks and it looked promising. The early parts aren't that funny but once the plot kicks in and she has to find her way out of "the hood," it picks up. It reminded me somewhat of After Hours or maybe even Adventures of Babysitting. Banks is very good, as well as being particularly hot in this. The supporting cast is really what makes it work. Kevin Nealon is fun as a weirdo helicopter reporter. Bill Burr and Ethan Suplee are great as a couple of clueless cops. But the highlight for me was the trio of Pookie (Alphonso McAuley), Hulk (Da'Vone McDonald), and Scrilla (Bob from Walking Dead). I don't want to spoil too much about their scenes but all three are terrific, especially McAuley who talks like a Fat Albert character come to life.

This is a funny comedy with a generally pleasant tone that I liked. Yeah it's somewhat predictable and formulaic but no one's trying to reinvent the wheel here. It's a good way to spend an hour and a half. One little thing I wanted to mention because when it happened in the movie, I had to roll my eyes a bit. James Marsden's bartender character is revealed to not just be a bartender but also a writer. Why is it that movies always do that? Someone can't be JUST a bartender or a waitress or a mechanic -- they always have to be something more "respectable" on the side or they are aspiring to be something like that. Just once I would like one of these movies to feature a working-class character who is happy with their life and does not want to go to law school or own the company or become a big movie star. Because ultimately what they are saying is that Marsden is not good enough for Banks if he is just a bartender, which is shallow and sad.

This movie is far from a masterpiece. It's pretty corny at times, and also has a couple of racist moments that are just glossed over. But ultimately, I enjoyed it. While some parts are hard to believe, watching the main character wind up in bizarre situations was entertaining enough. If you're looking for a chill comedy and don't have Oscar level standards, give it a shot.

This one was surprisingly good.

If you're going to a movie with a hot blonde in a tight yellow dress on the poster - you better expect what such type of movies usually puts on the screen. You'll get your laughs.

Yet, Walk of Shame was so much more than just a slightly dirty comedy. It gave an insight to the life of LA area some might not realize there is. It showed how friendship is important and that total strangers are not necessarily wierdos and perverts.

And, of course, Meghan is a nice girl from Texas. That's great.

As a cat lover, I was mildly surprised to the problem that Banks' character has. So strange. I have the same problem with some dogs, so no big deal!
