This was a funny movie but very dumb. That's how it's supposed to be though. It also isn't really as relevant as it was when it was released but just watch it before you decide to buy it unless you're a diehard fan of stiller, Ferrell, or Wilson.
This film is tricky to review. It's the type of film that you have to watch and judge for yourself whether you like it or not. It's more of a passion project for vin diesel. I liked it but I do know people who didn't. Again, rent it before you watch it.
This film was a surprise. I went in without knowledge except for the basic story and cast. All cast members pull their weight and Spielberg directs another fantastic film. The tension of the Cold War really plays into the film especially the final scenes. Definitely recommended!
When they announced they were making a Goosebumps movie, many questions arose. What book would it be based on? Would it be based on a book? The answer is that it is an original story. And that's not a bad thing. The end result is a funny wild scary ride that is amazing for kids and parents alike. Jack Black is great as Goosebumps writer R.L. Stine and Slappy and the supporting kids are great as well. Definitely worth a watch!
I remember being fairly young when this film came out. My mother bough it the day it came out and I watched it with her and I remembered the panic in New Jersey. This film is great. The performances are strong and the direction fantastic. People thought it was too soon for a film of this subject matter to come out but it wasn't.
Don't pay attention to the reviews. Yea it is a predictable film but it's a great film nonetheless. Gyllenhaal is fantastic as always and the whole film is just great.
If you like Adam Sandler films or the old games from the 80's, then you'll like the film. It is what it is. An enjoyable release that's not looking for any oscars.
