Brennan: Did we just become best friends?

Dale: Yep!

Brennan: Do you wanna do Karate in the garage?

Dale: Yep!

The famous “Karate in the garage” is a classic line from this movie. This quote is one of the most important to me because it reminds me of true brotherhood. I have 2 younger brothers who I didn’t always get along with growing up. Obviously we had our fights, annoyed each other, rivaled, but at the end of the day are best friends. Although Dale and Brennan are about 40 years old, they remind me of the good times growing up I had with my brothers. Playing Star Wars, making fart jokes, having sleepovers with friends/cousins etc. Step Brothers is a great comedy movie, but to someone like myself, represents something more. There’s nothing like “tough brotherly love” which is why I love this movie. Step Brothers is an all-time classic to myself and lots of other movie fans around the world.

The 40 Year Old Virgin Movie Review

Judd Apatows The 40 Year Old Virgin is a comedy starring Steve Carrel as Andy Stitzer. For a goofy comedy such as this one, they movie is surprisingly insightful. Andy distracts himself from thinking about being a virgin with obsessions. He is obsessed with action figures, video games, and collectibles. Andy works at an electronic super store, where he is surrounded by employees who are constantly bantering about sex. One day during a poker game, Andy’s co Image result for the 40 year old virgin workers realize how uncomfortable and naive he is on the topic. Once they found out he was a virgin, they made it their mission to end his 40 year old drought. Although Andy would rather just sit at home with his action figures, his new friends don’t let him. His friends set him up in a singles bar, give him advice, try speed dating, but none of it works. Across the mall is a single, attractive, sales clerk who Andy is too shy and awkward to talk to. He somehow begins talking to her and that’s when the plot beings wrapping up. I think that the best part about this movie is how well Steve Carrel and Katherine Keener (Shop keeper) work together. You can definitely see the chemistry. If there is anything to take away from this movie,its that its better late than never.

Bridesmaids Movie Review

Bridesmaids, a Judd Apatow produced movie that was released in 2011, is a movie about a group of girlfriends who are about as crazy as the guys in The Hangover. Lillian, played by Maya Rudolph, is getting married and the girls are flying out to Vegas for the wedding. “What happens in Vegas, starts on the plane” is their motto. Annie, played by Kristen Wigg expects to be maid of honor. She is rivaled by her friend Helen, played by Rose Bryne. This rivalry eventually leads to the breakdown of Annie in a French-themed bridal shower. What is so special about Bridesmaid’s is that it’s a crossover of a Chick-Flick and Raunchy comedy.

These’s girls dirty jokes could rival those of The Hangover. The movie shows that women compete with men when it comes to vulgarity, sexual frankness, lust, vulnerability, over drinking, and insecurities. Judd is consistently involved in movies that connect audiences such as this one. Because of the films focus on female characters, it truly is a different type of comedy. If you are a women, this is a must see. Only the manliest of men will watch this movie as it may make some people uncomfortable. In the end, the movie is warmhearted and ends nicely. I would definitely recommend a friend to watch this film. If you are interested, check out this trailer.
