This is probably the best movie I have watched so far! The movie stars Ryan Gosseling (The Notebook, Remember the Titans), as a very introverted and shy man. He lives in the garage of his brothers home and avoids contact with family and just about everyone as much as possible. One night he knocks on his brothers door and asks to speak with him and his wife. Once they arrive at the door Lars informs them he has a guest for dinner.
When Lars and his date arrive for dinner his brother and sister-in-law are absolutely shocked. Lars' date is named Bianca, she is a missionary and is also in a wheel chair but thats not what really surprised his family, Bianca was a life-sized doll. His family convinces Lars to take her to the doctor to make sure her health is good in order to get Lars to see a doctor to see what is wrong with him. The doctor tells them they need to go along with it and treat her like a real person. This movie gets so crazy and is extremely interesting. I recommend this movie to anyone that loves an odd, quirky and fun movie.

Billy Madison
Billy Madison is the second movie I am reviewing. The movie stars Adam Sandler (Happy Gilmore, Mr. Deeds) and Bradley Whitford (Young Guns II, Law and Order: LA.) Sandler plays Billy Madison, a free spirited, lazy and quite dependent son of a hotel mogul. When Billy's father decides its time to retire, he informs Billy that he will be handing over the company to Eric (Whitford), whom Billy despises.
Upon news of his fathers decision, Billy discovers his father bribed his whole way through school. In order to win back his fathers trust and the rights to control the company, Billy presents the idea that he go back through grades 1-12 and show his father he is capable of running the company.
Billy starts the movie unmotivated, truly unhappy and very unsuccessful. Throughout the movie Billy really learns a lot about himself and who he truly wants to be. One reason for this sudden change is his new third grade teacher, Veronica Vaughn, who ends up being Billy's love interest. This is a great comedy and will keep you laughing the whole way though!

Multiplicity
The first movie I'm reviewing is Multiplicity. I watched it this weekend and have to say that I loved it. Micheal Keaton (Mr. Mom, Beetlejuice) and Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Groundhog Day) star in this wonderful comedy. The plot is about a family man, Doug (Keaton), who works as a contractor, is married and has two children. When Dougs stay at home wife, Laura (MacDowell) gets a job offer and decides to take it, Doug's workload around the house increases darastically.
He becomes very overwhelmed, overworked and exhausted. Doug then meets a very helpful scientist who offers Doug a once in a lifetime opportunity, to clone himself. Doug decides to take him up on the offer. The clone, who Doug calls number two, is more than helpful. He is very masculine and loves to help at work. After some time Doug decides to make another clone, number three, who is very in touch with his feminine side and loves helping around the house. Doug feels he has the perfect set up until the clones clones themselves. Since making a copy of a copy isn't always as clear, number four is a little special. With the help of the clones Doug learns a lot about himself and his life. He figures out what he wants out of his life and we get to laugh along the way.
All of the clones and the orignal Doug have such complex personalities that it makes for a truly hilarious and enjoyable movie. I really loved the movie and I thought it was a nice change from the comedy movies today. Don't get me wrong, I love a raunchy movie now and then, but this was a refreshing change. I would recommend this movie to anybody that loves a good comedy with great acting.

Movie Reviews
I will be watching a movie each week and reviewing it. I will always do a movie I have never seen. I have no certain genre or style in mind I will just be watching movies that sound interesting. I will explain the movie and describe whether or not I enjoyed it, whether its worth watching or not and what I thought either made the movie great or why its not one to waste your time on.
