THE BIG WEDDING

Movie:  The Big Wedding
Jan's Rating:  B
Time:  1 Hour 30 Minutes

Jan's Opinion:  It's good to be back on my blog again!  There haven't been any movies playing for the past 4-6 weeks that I wanted to see.  Finally, The Big Wedding opened today so cousin Bonnie and I went to see it and thoroughly enjoyed it.  I don't know how the Enquirer can give a movie a "D" rating when it has such stars as Robin Williams, Diane Keaton, Robert DiNiro, Susan Sarandon, Katherine Heigl and Amanda Seyfried.  Robert DiNiro and Diane Keaton have been divorced for many years and their son is getting married.  Suddenly all the skeletons start coming out of the closet.  We both found it very funny and think it deserves a "B".

KILLING THEM SOFTLY

Movie:  Killing Them Softly
Dave's Rating:  F
Time:  1 hour 37 Minutes

Dave's Opinion:  Jan watched 10 minutes of this movie and couldn't watch anymore so left the room.  I did watch the rest of the movie so here is my review:

I would call this movie "Killing Them (the viewers) First and end their Misery! 

This is 97 minutes of pure agony but it may have set a record for the use of the "F" word in a low-budget film, or any film for that matter.  I really loved the song with the same title, by Roberta Flack, and certainly have enjoyed past performances by Brad Pitt, but he stooped to a new low when he agreed to make this movie.  This 2012 film cost $15 million to make and then only grossed $35 million.  The story line does not exist and the acting is terrible!

May I end your agony now by suggesting you do not waste your money on this movie.  My rating is an "F".
