Chuckles 24, Laughs 12, Belly Laughs 9
I'd never heard of this movie before and when I saw the trailer, I saw it had big stars like Halle Berry, Uma Thurman, Hugh Jackman, Emma Stone, Chris Pratt, Jason Sudeikas, Richard Gere, Terrance Howard, Gerard Butler (and many more) and the lines were funny so I watched it. As I watched, I jotted down these notes: Gross. Stupid. Weird. Seems like it was written two stoned teenagers. Yes, it has a stupid premise but a lot of comedies have that in common. While trying to find an elusive movie called "Movie 43" on the internet, these kids come across several random, odd skits. How they convinced these actors to participate, I have no idea. Did I laugh? Yes. Was I grossed out? Yes. Did I like it? No. Would I watch this again or recommend it? No.

Val Kilmer passed away early today and I thought it only right to watch one of his movies that I haven't watched in a very long time. As luck would have it, my wife recently purchased Real Genius recently as it is one of her favorite VK movies. This movie came out the same year I graduated High School. I hadn't seen it in so long that I didn't remember much of it so it was fun to watch it again. It's a very "mid-80's" movie style though surprisingly without nudity, which was pretty popular in the 80's. Though this movie didn't make me laugh out loud a lot (6 chuckles and 2 laughs), it was amazing to see Val Kilmer's bright smile, the energy of his youth and his cool hair. I was surprised how much the co-star "Mitch" played by Gabriel Jarret resembled Sarah Jessica Parker. It was so much fun to see "Uncle Rico" (John Gries) play a central role as "Lazlo." I really enjoyed this movie, especially on this day. RIP Val Kilmer. Thank you for the memories!
