Dinner for Schmucks review

Dinner for Schmucks sees Paul Rudd playing Tim Conrad a guy trying to move up in his company to impress his girlfriend.  Tim tries to take the initiative to impress his boss's buy making a sale of special novelty lamps with wealthy Swiss businessman Martin Mueller (David Walliams).  impressed by his Keene's his boss invites him for a dinner for winners which he realises is more a dinner for schmucks where Tim needs to find a "special" guest to go to this dinner.  So he bumps into Barry Speck (steve carell) a dead mouse collector who likes to make art out of dead mice. Que Tim trying to be nice to Barry however extreme and annoying he is to get him to go to the dinner.  Cue normal lose of girlfriend along the way this movie isn't laugh out loud hilarious but its easy to watch.   Zach Galifianakis also plays a part of Therman Murch who stole Barrys wife and claims to know mind control.  Not  Paul Rudds best work really but Steve Carell is prob the only cast member worth watching as Barry.  Rent it out to give it a go but don't rush into buying it first.

Batman: The Dark Night Rises.

The new Batman cast members have been announced.  Batman again will be played by Christian Bale.  No Riddler as first thought and no Robin btw i just thought this picture was cool.  Instead we have Anne Hathaway (the princess diaries)  as the Catwoman and Tom Hardy (inception) playing Bane.  Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine reprise there roles.The film will be released on July 20, 2012.  And Nolan has gone against filming it in 3D as didn't want people to be distracted from the story line.      

Jaydid Humour Comedy Heroes #2 Seann William Scott

Every now and then we at Jaydid like to take a moment to salute the great heroes of comedy.  And we believe Seann William Scott deserves a shout out.  Of course Sean came to world attention back in 1999 as Steve Stiffler in American Pie.  A part which he will always be known as and has never been matched even though plenty of straight to DVD movies have tried to portray a Stiffler.  Shortly after American Pie Seann was cast as the cool E.L in Road Trip.  Could almost be the same character as Steve Stiffler.  Staring parts in Dude wheres my car, Bullet Proof Monk as well as 2 more American Pie movies Cemented Seann to a House hold name.  Even Cameos where he is memorable in Old School and Jay and Silent Bob strikes back shows what a great comedic actor Seann really is.  Role Models with Paul Rudd is a great movie and again Seann as Anson Wheeler is another great character that he portrays.  If you haven't seen any of the films named here please do.  We are looking forward to more films of Seanns to come out but do hope he reprices his role of Steve Stiffler one day.  I know he has done other films but the named ones is his finest work i believe.  So Seann we salute you and are a hero to us.  

The Switch Movie Review.

Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman star in this comedy.  The film starts 7 years earlier where Jennifer plays Kassie Larson who decides she wants to move forward with her life and have a baby.  Jason's plays Wally, Kassie's best friend.  After an early turrets guy scene which was annoying me a little i didn't give this film much hope.  But on i watched.  Wally doesn't agree with Kassie's decision to go it alone and chose a sperm doner.  Wally even asks whats wrong with his sperm which Kassie said would be strange.  So Kassie chooses Roland (played by Patrick Wilson) who is everything that Wally isn't.  Hes outgoing, enjoys life and is athletic.  On the eve of inserting the um sperm Wally gets drunk and Kassie's pregnancy party and accidental spills the sperm cup.  So Wally replaces it with his own.  waking up next day he doesn't recall any of the previous nights events.  Fast forward 7 years and we find Kassie returning to New York with her son Sebastian (played by Thomas Robinson).  Becomes soon apparent to Wally that Sebastian is just like his and he slowly puts 2 and 2 together.  The Switch is an enjoyable heart filled comedy and Thomas Robinson does a great job at making you relate to a kid who's been brought up without a father figure in his life.  Definitely a return to form for Jennifer Aniston after the terrible The Bounty Hunter.  Jason Bateman seems to be on a role of good films and he does a 5 star turn here.  Co stars Juliette Lewis and Jeff Goldlum are a nice touch as the main characters friends.  Give the switch a go and hopefully you want want to switch off til its over.
