The Cable Guy (1996)
Actually not a bad movie.
In this movie, besides Jim Carrey, actors like Jack Black and Owen Wilson are making their "debut" in what we call "the movie world".
The story is dark, a bit funny, but also very sad, in fact.
Chip Douglas (Jim Carrey) is a cable guy, who just wants to make new friends. He had a terrible childhood, and nobody to play with.
This explains the person he is today.
He doesn't know how to act with people. As a result of that, he annoys people so hard, they're starting to dislike him.
He's trying to be a good friend, but he doesn't know how to do that.
Steven Kovacs, his client, just left his girlfriend, after a not successful marriage proposal. To give her "some time to think about their relationship", he moves out of the house/place, and he calls the cable industry to place cable TV in his new apartment.
What follows is a cable guy, who wants to become Stevens friend. At the beginning, everything is going good, but the more time Steven and Chip are spending, the worse it gets.
It's more than a comedy, in fact. You're starting to feel sorry for Chip, because he isn't a bad guy (although he's doing some really bad things during the movie).
When you're watching this movie, you'll discover a Jim Carrey as we know him (silly, a bit crazy), but also you'll discover a Jim Carrey, full of emotion, friendship and many more.
Certainly a movie you should watch, really not bad.
Sex Pot (2009)
Not worth to watch..
Before I wanted to watch this movie, I saw the low score on IMDb.
I always say: well, I have to see the movie myself, in order to know whether it's good or not.
I can tell you: this time, I just could have trusted the low score..
Damn, this movie is really boring and terrible.
The jokes were lame, the actors were bad and the storyline was very weak.
90 minutes you're wandering yourself: what is the point of this movie?
When the end credits are appearing on the screen, you're glad that the movie is finally over.
Yeah, you can certainly skip this one..
Balls Out: Gary the Tennis Coach (2009)
Still quite enjoyable
Sean William Scott was great in the American Pie movies. Personally, I think it's hard to find another movie where S.W.S has a really good role.
Now, in this movie, I have to say that I recognized some elements of "The Stiff Meister" in Gary, the tennis coach.
He tries to be funny and rude, a good combination if you ask me.
The movie isn't bad, isn't boring and has a few good jokes. It's not a GREAT movie, but still quite enjoyable.
If you're a fan of this actor, or just want to watch a relaxing comedy movie, this one is ideal for you.
Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj (2006)
Nothing new.
The film directors were trying to (ab)use a lot of the same items which were "successful" in an earlier version/movie.
Unfortunately, Van Wilder 2 isn't an exception.
Some predictable items:
Nice guy wants to help some students without self-esteem. At school, he meets a beautiful girl. She's dating with the "douchebag leader" of the bad guys (cliché?). Nice guy gets framed by the bad guys. He takes the blame, and he gets expelled. The girl realizes that here boyfriend is an asshole, and she falls for...the good guy. At the end of the movie, the bad guy loses the girl, his respect, and he gets humiliated.
Besides that, we also notice that there is a "dog joke" in both movies.
Now, how many of these elements are being used in Van Wilder 1 AND Van Wilder 2? That's right, all of them.
The movie is very cliché and not original at all. The jokes are lame, the storyline is a bit weak and empty. The bad guy isn't really "good", in fact. He has no real power, it's just big talk and a few weak attempts to be cool.
Taj was better as a sidekick in the first movie, than as a main character in the second one.
If you really like "school/college movies", you should watch this movie. If you really don't care if a movie has a weak storyline or bad jokes, you should watch this movie. If you expect more of a movie than the weak items I mentioned before, you should NOT watch this movie.
