- DirectorJerry ParisStarsSteve GuttenbergBubba SmithDavid GrafThe alumni of Commandant Lassard's Police Academy (1984) return to the school to train new recruits and prevent its closure.Bobcat Goldtwaith as the reformed criminal Zed. Dumb, dumb movie for sure, but wacky characters with Zed in the lead makes it a winner for me.
- DirectorSam WeismanStarsBrendan FraserLeslie MannThomas Haden ChurchA man raised in the jungle by apes falls in love with a wealthy American heiress.Nostalgia is a powerful thing. My first experience with it was at a birthday party sometime around my own 10th birthday. All the kids cried of laughter. A pretty bad movie, but all I feel is childlike joy because of the memories.
- DirectorLasse ÅbergStarsLasse ÅbergJon SkolmenBirgitte SöndergaardThe landlubber Stig-Helmer and his Norwegian friend Ole get on a barge by mistake. They arrive to an island in the archipelago and have to spend Midsummer among the fancy rich people, their champagne parties, their summer houses and the annual yacht race.Stig-Helmer Olsson is awkwardness personified. And he looks like my dad. I love it.
- DirectorCatti EdfeldtStarsEllen FjæstadCarl-Robert Holmer-KårellUlrika BergmanEva and Adam are 14 and have been together for three years, but Eva is slowly invaded by new thoughts.This one may very well be the worst one on the list, but the previously mentioned powerful nostalgia makes it so I can`t help but liking it. I feel such shame for my soft spot for this.
- DirectorLasse ÅbergStarsLasse ÅbergJon SkolmenMats BergmanI bet anyone can get better at golf than you are in one week, a golfer says to her golfing businessman for a boyfriend in a quarrel. Unfortunately Stig-Helmer is standing nearby when the boyfriend accepts the bet, and he is chosen to be the competitor. Stig-Helmer has never played the game before, but his Norwegian friend Ole promises to help him.Another Stig-Helmer feature. They just got worse but I didn`t notice. The meek swede shielded me.
- DirectorRaja GosnellStarsAlex D. LinzOlek KrupaRya KihlstedtAlex Pruitt, an 8-year-old boy living in Chicago, must fend off international spies who seek a top-secret computer chip in his toy car.3.7? It`s far from good, but surely it ain`t THAT bad? There are too much fun here to deserve such a low rating. I mean, movies who end up on 3.7 has no redeeming qualities, and this one has at least some comedic moments most people would appreciate.
- DirectorSimon WincerStarsBilly ZaneKristy SwansonTreat WilliamsThe Phantom, descendent of a line of African superheroes, travels to New York City to thwart a wealthy criminal genius from obtaining three magic skulls which would give him the secret to ultimate power.The Phantom is one of the most popular comics in my native Norway. I liked the panned movie to.
- DirectorJerry ParisJames SignorelliStarsSteve GuttenbergBubba SmithDavid GrafWhen a new gang moves into town it's up to the screwball police team to stop them.Almost as fun as number 3, an even bigger critical failure too.
- DirectorJoe JohnstonStarsSam NeillWilliam H. MacyTéa LeoniA decidedly odd couple with ulterior motives convince Dr. Grant to go to Isla Sorna for a holiday, but their unexpected landing startles the island's new inhabitants.Although everyone can see just how much worse than both the previous installments it really is, I can`t help it. It`s Jurassic Park! Good fun with dinosaurs!
- DirectorDarrell RooneyRob LaDucaStarsMatthew BroderickNeve CampbellAndy DickSimba's daughter is the key to a resolution of a bitter feud between Simba's pride and the outcast pride led by the mate of Scar.Despite it being vastly inferior to the original, I love The Lion King so much that even a poor sequel like this one was satisfying on some level.
- DirectorBobby FarrellyPeter FarrellyStarsJack BlackGwyneth PaltrowJason AlexanderA shallow man falls in love with a 300-pound woman because of her inner beauty.This is the movie one of my cousins hate over everything else. It`s quite scary really how much she loathes it. Like the most of the movies here it is far from good, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Harmless fun.
- DirectorMichael BayStarsBen AffleckKate BeckinsaleJosh HartnettA tale of war and romance mixed in with history. The story follows two lifelong friends and a beautiful nurse who are caught up in the horror of an infamous Sunday morning in 1941.I don`t know how I would feel about this very hated movie (in my impression) now, but I remember liking it when I saw it in school as a 14-year old. It was brand new then.
- DirectorNancy MeyersStarsLindsay LohanDennis QuaidNatasha RichardsonIdentical twins Annie and Hallie, separated at birth and each raised by one of their biological parents, discover each other for the first time at summer camp and make a plan to bring their wayward parents back together.23 year old men can`t help feeling some shame for liking movies like this, even if they`re critically acclaimed...
- DirectorDanny LeinerStarsAshton KutcherSeann William ScottJennifer GarnerTwo potheads wake up after a night of partying and cannot remember where they parked their car.As a movie, this is sh!t. Can`t help but laughing anyway
- DirectorSteve CarrStarsKevin JamesKeir O'DonnellJayma MaysWhen a shopping mall is taken over by a gang of organized crooks, it's up to a mild-mannered security guard to save the day.I found it kind of sweet, but there`s no denying a very thin plot. After 10 minutes, there`s nothing new for the remaining 80.
- DirectorDennis DuganStarsAdam SandlerKevin JamesJessica BielTwo straight, single Brooklyn firefighters pretend to be a gay couple in order to receive domestic partner benefits.Insert Paul Blart-comment here.
