Wow, these two comedies are some of the best I have ever seen in my entire life. First off, the price for these two is UMBELIEVABLY LOW and these movies will just have you on the floor with tears, you'll be laughing so much.
Meet the parents is the story of Ted, the male nurse who is wishes to get married to his true love Pam. But, first, he goes with her on a vacation to her parents' house. There, Jack and Dina Burns get to meet him. But Jack, played beautifully by Robert De Niro used to work in the FBI and is worried about Ted who is unaware that this is his real proffession. The weekend goes terribly wrong as Ted gets put under Jack's lie ditector, burns down an altar, loses the "gifted" family cat, Jinxie, breaks Pam's engaged sister's nose and much more. Beleive me, it's a real treat for the whole family and is absolutely hilarious. I especially like the ending when Ted addresses a flight attendant who tells him that his bag can't fit in the over hand compartement.
It goes something like this:
Her: Sir, you're going to have to check that.
Him: No! Your stupid airlines already lost my bag and it really screwed things up.
Her: Sir, I can guarantee that it will be safely put below with all of the other luggage.
Him: Oh, can you guarantee that? Are you personally going to take my bag with the guys with the earmuffs and put it down below? ETCCCCC
You get the picture, but I didn't even give away the best part of that scene which is the last things that he says.
In the the sequel, Pam and her parents go to meet Ted's parents. I actually probably liked the sequel better, which is definitely something to say! Of course, things go awry with the over agressive dad (hilarious football scene)and the mom that's a sex therapist. Well anyway, I don't want to give anything away but it's trully hilarious. 1 example is when Ted's dad call him Gay (short for his full name, Gaylord Focker) and has a wall prepared which makes Jack say: "I didn't even know that they made 12th place ribbons!" And the cat flushes their dog down the toilet! Anyway, I don't want to give too much away but believe me it's hilarious and can be loved by all ages!
As an esteemed television journalist put out to pasture by the networks and faced with the engagement of her son, Jane Fonda is fierce, funny, and ready to rumble as the title character in Monster-in-Law in a way that the rest of the film itself never really is. Jennifer Lopez, the film's other above-the-title star, is set to marry handsome, wealthy Michael Vartan but has one helluva time dealing with his insanely possessive mother. The result is pretty much what you'd expect--lots of snarls and slapstick and an easy, kisses-all-around conclusion, though it is surprising (and maybe a little disheartening) to watch Fonda throw herself into such disposable comedy with such gusto. Director Robert Luketic, who slept while Reese Witherspoon tottered off with his Legally Blonde,...

With a core audience of gameboys and hot-rodders aged 25 and under, xXx: State of the Union is the kind of action movie that requires literally no thought to enjoy. With Vin Diesel's original character just killed in Bora Bora (for details, see the uncensored unrated director's cut of xXx), Ice Cube steps in to play bad-ass, and the whole franchise takes on a hip-hop edge that's almost admirably absurd. The asinine plot is anarchy in Washington, D.C., as an insanely hawkish Secretary of State (Willem Dafoe) plots a Capitol coup just as the President (Peter Strauss, playing it straight) is giving his state-of-the-union address. All of this is prefaced by Cube's recruitment as a former Navy SEAL turned new-xXx, escaping from jail (Dafoe's character put him there), hooking up...

Will Smith's easygoing charm makes Hitch the kind of pleasant, uplifting romantic comedy that you could recommend to almost anyone--especially if there's romance in the air. As suave Manhattan dating consultant Alex "Hitch" Hitchens, Smith plays up the smoother, sophisticated side of his established screen persona as he mentors a pudgy accountant (Kevin James) on the lessons of love. The joke, of course, is that Hitch's own love life is a mess, and as he coaches James toward romance with a rich, powerful, and seemingly inaccessible beauty named Allegra (Amber Valetta), he's trying too hard to impress a savvy gossip columnist (Eva Mendes) with whom he's fallen in love. Through mistaken identities and mismatched couples, director Andy Tennant brings the same light touch that made...

You get two hostage crises for the price of one in Hostage, an overwrought but otherwise involving thriller grounded by Bruce Willis's solid lead performance. Making a dramatic pit-stop on his way to Die Hard 4, Willis plays a traumatized former Los Angeles hostage negotiator, now working as a nearly-divorced police chief in sleepy Ventura County, California. Willis suddenly finds himself amidst two potentially deadly stand-offs when a trio of hapless teenagers seize hostages in the fortress-like home of an accountant (Kevin Pollack) whose connections to organized crime result in Willis struggling to rescue his estranged wife and daughter, who are being held hostage by faceless thugs at an undisclosed location. Having directed two of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell video...
