QUICKIES
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry - First off, Kevin James is affable and Jessica Biel is sexy as Hell. But... Biel is bad in this movie and her role is nothing more than cliche romantic cannon fodder, the script is not funny and borderline homophobic (even when it tries to be pro-gay) and Rob Schneider is in it. Once again an Adam Sandler movie that fails be to any kind of funny. Final Rating: 1/5
Joe Versus the Volcano - The first of the Hanks/Ryan trilogy and the most enjoyable. The leads have always had a likable chemistry with each other that really shines here as they spend a lot of screen time together (ableit with Ryan in three roles). The script is strong for what essentially is romantic comedy, and is darker than you'd expect if you only watched Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail. Hanks, before he got into the more dramatic role, is ever charming and Ryan is her usual level of kooky, though the two sisters she plays come offer rather similar despite supposedly having differing personalities. An enjoyable romantic comedy. Final Rating: 3.5/5
Wonder Woman - This, Bros. Warner, is how to make a Wonder Woman movie. Whilst the studio have tried for years to get a live action Wonder Woman movie off the ground, Bruce Timm et al have come in an knocked it outta the park. It is a suitably epic retelling of the Wonder Woman origin with well cast voice roles, particularly Fillion and Molina, and lively direction. Final Rating: 4/5
