I haven't written a review in awhile, but I felt the need to write one for this. I hadn't hear anything about it up until a week before I bought my ticket because I was deciding what movie to go to on my day off. The trailer looked good, but I kind of had an inkling of what might be "going on" before the movie started.
The acting was phenomenal, the cinematography was great, as was the writing. However, the scene the last 2-3 minutes was really drawn out, unnecessary, and annoying, and it left a bad taste for the movie as a whole. It would be great if when they release it onto a streaming service if they cut that down so it doesn't detract from people's overall feelings.

I have watched this movie several times over the years and it never gets old! It's another Steve Martin classic, plus has an all-star cast to boot. It's a quirky Nora Ephron movie with lots of oddball characters, which makes sense as to why it's called, "Mixed Nuts." If you're looking for something cerebral, you're looking for the wrong movie. But if you're looking for some cute, light-hearted holiday laughs... nailed it.
Plus, Liev Shrieber's (sp) character adds a fun little side, as does Adam Sandler's neighbor. Two actors that weren't too big when the movie came out, so they were perfect little gems in this.

I don't know if the low-key advertising was intentional, but I knew nothing about this movie. My 10 year old knows I like horror and asked if I was going to see Barbarian. The name sounded like a Stallone/Arnold action flick, so I said no, but looked it up. Went the next night.
Did not disappoint as I had no expectations and knew nothing about it, lol.
It was such a cool premise! Of course you're constantly wondering which of this chick's naive decisions is going to seal her fate, but you have to keep watching as the story keeps switching up on you. There are laughs and there's a guy that's a giant douchebag (Justin Long) and it's pretty fun to watch what happens when people think they are better than everyone else.
Now every time I get naked I say "bay bee" to my husband. Makes for a great inside joke. I'm gonna start booping friends on the nose too.
