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!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
