The Dink (2026)

 

I felt obligated to see this one as an avid pickleballer. The opening premise and character introductions were actually pretty good, but it descended into lame tropes from there.

Finding 'Ohana (2021)

Aimed directly at the Disney tween crowd. Instead of a few winks to Goonies, they should have included some nods as well; adding more of the fun and humor of the original masterpiece. Finding 'Ohana stretched the bounds of reality a little too far, moving the genre from adventure into brainless fantasy.

Sisters (2015)

Amy and Tina get their friends together to make a movie, but the script is pointless and most of the jokes fall flat. A few laughs keep it from becoming a complete disaster.

Rating: D

Hot Rod (2007)

Good for a few chuckles.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

This is a really dumb movie. I'm not talking Dodgeball dumb or Dumb and Dumber dumb--it's much dumber. This isn't meant as an insult, since I actually enjoy dumb humor and dumb movies. It's uneven, but has enough funny moments to make it enjoyable.
More cameos than one can shake a stick at.

Rating: C

Hotel Transylvania (2012)

Formulaic cartoon with a few chuckles sprinkled in.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013)

Just as bonkers as the first; maybe more. Laughs were on and off again. The writers threw everything at the wall. Some of it stuck, some awkwardly slid to the floor. The big fight between the news teams was out of control, not to mention chalk full of cameos. This sequel delivers exactly what you expect it to.

21 Jump Street (2012)

Plenty funny, but nothing groundbreaking here.
