Film: Dinner for Schmucks (2010)

Blu-Ray


Review: This is a funny movie where Tim is up for a big promotion if he can bring an entertaining idiot to his boss' themed dinner party. Sickened by the idea at first, he changes his mind when he bumps into the perfect guest, a naive man-child named Barry who builds dioramas with stuffed mice. The dioramas displayed during the opening and closing credits are hilarious!

Quotes:
"Have you ever lived among a herd of goats, for months at a time, as one of them?"
"No."
"That surprises me."

"You might not like him. I don't like him. I hate him! But we need him. You know? It's like the CIA."
"The CIA?"
"The CIA does some pretty funky, nasty stuff in the shadows, but I, for one, am glad they're there."
"The CIA doesn't invite people to dinner to make fun of them."
"No. The CIA kills people. And I'm getting raked over the coals because of a little dinner."

"I need to be punished. I cheated in class. Don't you want to be my school teacher?"
"I'm really not qualified. I work for the IRS."
"Not tonight..."
"No, all the time. I work..."
"Ok, ok! You work for the IRS and I have been very, very bad. I haven't paid my taxes and I need to be spanked, NOW!"
"Well, that's really not the way it works, you probably just have to pay the difference, plus interest...

"Well, these people invited us here to make fun of us. This is a contest for the biggest idiot... which I nailed!"

Film: Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)

Blu-Ray


Review: A funny movie about an irresponsible father, played by Robin Williams, who loses custody of his kids after the divorce. Desperate to see his kids more often, he dresses up as an older woman to answer an ad placed my his ex-wife for a nanny/housekeeper. Robin's trademark humor along with the slapstick costume changes is very entertaining.

Quotes:
"Look at this! My first day as a woman and I'm getting hot flashes."

"We're his damn kids too."
"Heh, heh, kids say the darnedest things."
"Thank you. Any other choice phrases you'd like to teach our five year old, Daniel?"

"Could you make me a woman?"
"Honey, I'm so happy!"
"I knew you'd understand."

"It's not working. I need to go older."
"Older? You mean like a Shelley Winters older, or Shirley MacLaine older?"
"What's the difference?"
"Some Scotch tape and red hair dye."
"What about Joan Collins?"
"Oh, I don't think I have the strength. But I have some plaster."

"Isn't he fabulous?"
"If you like that handsome rugged type. But personally I prefer short, furry and funny."

"Oh, sir. I saw it! Some angry member of the kitchen staff, Did you not tip them? Oh, the terrorists! They ran that way. It was a run-by fruiting. I'll get them, sir. Don't worry."

"I like that Mediterranean look in women. Natural, healthy. Just the way God made you."
"Well, he broke the mold when he made me. He made me very special."
"He sure did."

"Mrs. Doubtfire."
"What?"
"You're going into the men's room."
"Huh? Oh, so it is. I do need new glasses dear. Sorry."

"Tell me, why would Mrs. Doubtfire be a good host?"
"I'm a hip old granny who can hip-hop, bebop, dance til ya drop and yo yo, make a wicked cup of cocoa."

Film: Sex Drive (2008)

Blu-Ray


Review: A pretty good road trip movie about a high school virgin who borrows his brother's hot rod to visit a babe he chats with on the internet. Along for the ride are his two best friends, Lance, his more experienced and confidant buddy and Felicia, his childhood friend with who he has a secret crush. James Marsden is the highlight of the movie as the tormenting older brother.

Quotes:
"Hey babe, you wanna party?"
"I'm at a party."
"You wanna make out with us?"

"Where do you guys get the confidence to, like, hit on every girl you see?"
"Cause we're the shit."

"Ian, you're 18 and you've never had a girlfriend. That's how people wind up getting gay, you know?"
"I don't think that's really how it happens."
"Tell me how it happens expert, ya cock expert, ya cockspert. Hey, what do you like better the shaft or the balls?
"That's gross."
"You like em both don't you. It's like, sometimes Tuesday you want the big, old, shiny-ass cock. Wednesdays and Thursdays you're onto the balls."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You can't choose can you? Thats a tough one. You love it. You're obsessed with it."
"No, you are, your talking about it."

"Oh, fuck. I know you didn't take my car again. 'Cause you're a big giant pussy. That's right. I'm gonna lift up this door, and my big, fucking glorious bitchy Judge is gonna be sitting right there gleaming at me."

"You can punch my friend here, but just once."
"Wait what? Come on man!"
"Dude, you slept with his girlfriend!"
"But..."
"AND he drove all this way."
"...All right."

"I miss sarcasm. It's mostly lost on my people. And gambling.... went to Vegas once.... And buttfucking."
