Let me make something very clear: I am NOT an athlete. I do not run, jog, play sports, throw crap, catch crap, tackle people, or anything like it. I do enjoy watching college football and the Texas Rangers, and I do play lousy football at thanksgiving and SuperBowl Sunday, but otherwise, no. Similarly, I have little sympathy for the sappy sports story. I am very proud to say I have never ever seen Rocky, and generally disliked Friday Night Lights. Now, let me make something else very clear: Rudy is one of my favorite movies of all time. The reason? Great acting, great story, great characters. I connected so well with Rudy, being a lil short myself and lacking the self-esteem every now and then. I also come from a big sports-loving family big into college football. Maybe that has something to do with it. This movie made me forget it was about sports- because it really wasn't! It was about RUDY RUDY RUDY!!! The filmmakers took a very easily cliché and predictable storyline and made it unique! YEAH!! GO hobbit, GO!!!

Men with Brooms
(2002)
a gem in Saturday afternoon schlub
1 November 2006
There's not much I can say about this film that a true critic would. I can't tell you about the depth in characters or plot, or how unrealistic it might/might not be. I can tell you, though, I did enjoy watching this movie Saturday afternoon in my PJ's with my little sister. In the summer we kids really have nothing better to do sometimes than watch movies and go biking. Only Macy has a bike, so we stayed in one particular day. Roaming through or scalable-less TV stations we found a delightfully odd movie called "Men With Brooms". It was quirky, it was cute, it was all we needed to have a good few hours together. Okay,so it's not the greatest comedy ever written- it serves it's purpose of entertaining and that's all that matters to me. Watch it, enjoy it, don't examine it!
