Ride Along 2 (movie review)

  Caught a matinee the other day and may be subjected to another on Friday but let's focus in the present time.  I saw Ride Along 2 the other day.  Ride Along is rated Pg-13 and runs for 1 hour 41 minutes.

  This comedy stars Ice Cube, Kevin Hart, Ken Jeong, Benjamin Bratt and an appearance by Tyrese Gibson.  The two cops are back at it again. Protecting and serving the city until they get a tip that their perp is in Miami.  A detective finally gives in to bringing a certain rookie cop with him in hopes of his ship publicly sinking leading to a new career for said rookie cop.

  Of course in this movie we have the conclusion to a successful dating couple as there is a lot of wedding arrangements being made.  A bride is anxious of the apporaching date and no fiancee in sight.

  This is a comedy so keep that in mind.  Don't focus on a particular plot just loosen up and watch the banter between the "brothers in laws".  Kevin Hart throws out some sassy comments and Ice Cube is always quick to shut him down.  If Kevin wasn't busy saying something funny I found amusement in his uniform choices while on assignment in Miami.

  Again I wouldn't go with high expectations of guns, drug lords and high speed chases in this cop movie.  This is a comedy. Comedy first law enforcement second.  Loosen up and relax.

  I made it to the movies this time early enough for the previews and boy they were a bunch of doozies.  I can't even begin to tell you what is coming.  Go see Ride Along 2 so you can see those.  I don't want to spoil to much.  I must have been there too early as I didn't sit through the previews on this one.

  You don't need to wait for Redbox to catch this movie. Sneak out and see it during matinee times.

Now Showing Sisters (maybe a spoiler)

  I managed to squeeze in one more movie for 2015!  I saw Sisters always pushing the budget envelope I went during matinee times.  Matinees are anything before 5pm I think and the price is just $5.00.

  Sisters is rated R and runs for 118 minutes.  I can not express with the producers and particular actresses: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler language, sex, drugs and innuendos are throughout the whole movie.  They brought the movie to life and kept the comedy flowing through the whole movie.


  Two sisters on a mission to keep their childhood home that their parents have sold to move into a condo to downsize.  They will do anything to keep it and work quite nicely as a team on the battlefront.  As they pack up their room they have a 1980's flashback.  They eventually decide a party is where it's at to give the house a final send off and allow the shy 2nd sister to have a fling in her childhood home.

  Keep an eye out for a few more celebrity appearances.  There is a plot to the movie and a lot of comedy at every turn.  You will laugh, laugh some more and reminisce of your childhood.  You might catch a poster from your childhood wall, an outfit or a toy!

  I am please with this movie and glad I finished off 2015 with this selection.  I will happily rent this when it comes out which proves how good it was if I will watch it again! Credits include some funny outtakes as well.

  Bring on 2016 and let's see what's playing! I already have my eye on a couple in January.  My children do too so I may be able to give you a review of all types of movies.

Hints: a boy, a forest, a bear and some outlaws.

Now showing Daddy's Home (maybe a spoiler)

  I went to the matinee today for Daddy's Home!  It is rated PG-13 and runs for 1 hr and 36 minutes.  PG-13 is for the language as I am sure all the topless scenes Mark Wahlberg was in was not put into that category.

  This movie was funny!  I enjoyed the whole thing and I don't think it slowed down or got boring in any section.  From start to finish I was highly entertained and not just because of a certain actor.

  The story is a battle between two men. One the new step dad versus the old biological dad.  The step dad is very well read in how to raise step children so he is prepared to parent the kids.  The old dad of course is not ready for someone else to raise his kids, be with his wife and take his family.

  The movie circles around the two guys playing good guy, bad guy and everything in between with no rules.  It's entertaining to watch them top each other.    You could maybe foresee where certain scenes were going but its still well worth it to watch.

  Keep watching till the end because after all what did you pay for!  Good movies keep it good until the credits and sometimes during them!

Now showing Alvin and the Chipmunks (no spoiler)

  I stepped out to a matinee showing of Alvin and the Chipmunks with my family today! The movie is rated PG and runs for 1 hr and 28 minutes.

  Summary:
  The movie has the same storyline of the chipmunks being left at home while Dave leaves but the chipmunks become alarmed about why Dave left which sets them off on a roadtrip.

  Over the course of their roadtrip through various states trouble follows them wherever they go providing us the audience with pure entertainment.  Some if the humor you don't even see coming.

  You will see fast cars, dancing, singing and special appearances by the Chipettes.  This is a funny movie and everyone in my party to include a 3 yo laughed and enjoyed it. There are popular radio hit songs played throughout.

  I would rent this movie when it comes out!
