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!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
