Scribbles About Movies: The Boss Review

So the surprise #1 movie at the box office this weekend is The Boss with Melissa McCarthy! I saw it... and I have some thoughts!

So... it wasn't a bad movie... but it wasn't the funniest movie. Melissa McCarthy is very entertaining and  I pretty much like anything she's in. This may have been my least favorite movie of hers... but its still not a bad movie. I had fun watching it, I'm happy I saw it ... but overall I'd say it was okay.

It isn't all that funny... most of the funny parts are in the trailer... so if you've seen the trailer, you've seen the funny parts... but I felt connected to the characters and I thought there was a good story in there. As I said, it was a fun movie to watch, just to see. Idk if I'd rush out to see it this weekend... you could totally wait to watch it on TV, I think I'd like this wayyy better on TV instead of in the movies... but yeah. It was good.

I really liked Kristen Belle's character. I think she's a super underrated actress. She's just good in any movie, and I thought her character was really someone I could feel for and I could relate to. I just thought she was great, I hope she gets more roles from this because I love her!

I think I was expecting more of this movie than it delivered. I was expecting an R rated Troop Beverly Hills... and thats not what it is at all. Its not as funny as Troop Beverly Hills, and a lot of it is just kind of weird. You know where bad movies sort of have things that don't make sense and wouldn't happen in real life... that happened in this movie and I don't totally mind that if a movie is funny enough and this movie is... so yeah.

And I thought the kids in this movie were really funny too. Melissa McCarthy is a good actress with kids I think. There was one part where she was just bonding with Kristin Belle's Daughter and it was cute and charming. Maybe its because she has daughters, but it was a really good moment I thought. She was great.

So the bad thing about it... which happens in lots of comedy movies... the jokes dragged on a lot. It was like they could have moved on but they kept saying the same thing over and over again. Like your friend that thinks they're funny, but they only have one joke... thats what happens. And its another thing, the movie was good enough that I didn't totally care... but thats part of what made me dislike it. It wasn't bad it just wasn't as funny as I thought... so I was slightly disappointed but still overall happy I saw it.

So yeah... its a good movie... but it isn't great. So if you didn't see it this weekend check it out on tv. I think its something most people will like... its not a movie I see myself seeing again really... but I didn't mind it. Its fun.

Byeee! Hope this was helpful!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
