Movie Review: ‘That’s My Boy’ Starring Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Leighton Meester

Posted: June 15, 2012 at 9:42 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

There has never been an Adam Sandler film I have ever been excited about.  I caught Happy Gilmore on HBO when I was younger, but that is the extent of my toleration of his films.  This is very important to note because if you are a fan of his brand of comedy and have liked […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Just Go With It

Posted: February 17, 2011 at 1:44 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

Just Go With It has a couple of funny moments sprinkled into a contrived and implausible mess of a plot that is only kept afloat by its appealing group of actors. Sandler’s latest comedy romance flick is a bit confused with what it wants to be as it openly embraces broad physical comedy as well […]

Grown Ups

Posted: June 25, 2010 at 7:17 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

The team […]
