Blogmas Day 4: Jingle All The Way 2 Review

Heyy guys! I didn't really mean to make Blogmas all movie reviews from me... that's just kind of how it's working out right now... but my Boyfriend actually got me the very romantic gift of Jingle All The Way 2... which we did watch together... and I think we both agree... It is a Movie...

This movie stars Larry The Cable Guy as a single dad who is kind of trying to outdo his daughter's new step dad... he also kind of just wants to get his daughter what she wants... and that is a Teddy Bear called Harrison. Larry reads his daughters letter to santa and sees a misspelled version of Harrison and decides to get it for her.

The only thing is... these bears are like impossible to get. Every time Larry goes to the store- someone buys every single Harrison Bear.

One of the things I think I need to complain about with this movies is that there were too many antagonists... I wasn't paying the most attention to the movie because... well it isn't the most interesting. I don't actually think the movie is the worst... but it's not great. But despite the movie being kind of just a simple Christmas movie... the plot was a little more complex because there were so many antagonists. The first Jingle All The Way was pretty simple- a Dad is just kind of fighting another dad to get a Turbo Man action figure that his kid really wants. As a kid I remember actually seeing the movie in theaters and really liking it... and at that age I fell asleep in most movies and I actually don't think I fell asleep in this one!

But this one was like... there were too many extra plot points and things that just didn't make sense. It was still cute and like I have the DVD now... So I'll probably watch it again... but there was just a little bit too much to it when they could have simplified it a little and had it make more sense. There are 2 antagonists that I'm not even sure if they're the same people or different people. It was just a lot.

Some positives about this movie... I think if you ever worked in retail you might be able to relate to it. My boyfriend worked retail with the Hatchimals craze... so he understood that... it didn't necessarily make it better or worse... but still. It was relatable. Plus even though it was a lot different than the first movie- it did kind of make me nostalgic for that movie. The ending was also really cute. It was maybe a little sweeter than the original movie... which I think I remember thinking of as a little bit greedy.

It's worth checking out if you can get it for like $5-ish dollars- or if you see it on TV or Netflix... but I don't think it's worth much more than that. I kind of judge bad Christmas movies a little less harshly because usually they are still pretty enjoyable... and you can usually get them pretty cheap around the holidays... so it's not too too bad.

Hope you guys like this weird review of this kind of weird movie. Lol.

Bye!

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...
