Clerks, is it funny? Find out in this blog post.

Summary:

This new arrival on Netflix is a movie produced in 1994 and directed by Kevin Smith. It’s about a man named Dante Hicks (Brian O'halloran) that works as a clerk at a convenience store in New Jersey. On his day off he ends up getting called into work. But when he agreed to work that day he had no idea of the problems he was about to face.   Including finding out that his ex-girlfriend is about to get married and he is still in love with her, he can’t seem to be able to open the shutters outside, and his current girlfriend will not stop bugging him about starting college, he also finds out revealing “thing” about her past. He has just found out that another ex girlfriend has passed away and today is the last day that he can go to her wake, and still his boss has not come to in to take over for him. He has a hockey game at two o’clock and he is dealing with a lot of rude customers that don’t seem to have much intelligence. One of the funniest problems that Dante deals with on a regular base is his friend Ronald who is a clerk at the video store next door to the convenient store that Dante works at. Ronald is a problem because he is continually disturbing and bothering all of Dante’s customers. Will Dante make it through this long day at work? Just remember Dante came into work on his day off.

Looking for a comedy for the whole family? Check out Daddy Day Care


Summary:
The movie Daddy Day Care is about two dads who are unemployed. Together, with no experience, they decided that it would be a good idea to start their own childrens daycare, named Daddy Day Care. The daycare was held at their house and as days went by they began to accumulate more children. Later on the two dads ran into some problems where they were being investigated. They were told they needed to add another person to look after the kids due to the number of them they had. Also a lady of a strict daycare had had some of her children switch to Daddy Day Care and tried to make trouble for them by stating that Daddy Day Care was not a good place for kids. In the end the three of them proved her wrong and ended up getting big enough to buy their own building.

To me Daddy Dare Care was a very good movie. There was never a dull moment and it was extremely cute and funny. I would sugest it to anyone and also think that it makes the perfect family movie. I give Daddy Day Care 9 out of 10.

Need to see a trailer for Without A Paddle? You can now stop looking!

Summary:

Nature's Calling is the sequal to Without A Paddle. It stars a different cast than the original. The movie is about two boys who are best friends who are complete opposites. One of them who is a trouble maker, named Zach, and Ben who is oblivious to everything around him except for the girl of his dreams, Heather. Heather moves away and as years go by the boys move farther apart due to choosing different lifestyles. Ben moved on to be successful but stressed due to the work load, while Zach enjoyed his life helping the elderly in a retirement home. An ederly lady at the home asks Zach to find her granddaughter. Zach realizes that she is Ben's dream girl and calls him to tell him. The two began their quest to find heather hitting a lot of rocky parts along the way. The two find her and are reunited again with Heather along with her friend. Ben was finally able to tell Heather how he had felt after all of that time, and convinced the two of them to come back and see her grandmother.

This movie was funny at parts but not very often. The story line line was boring and not very interesting which made it lame. They added a lot of things that were not nescessay which made it corny. Overall I dont think the movie was a good watch and I would only give it a 3 out of 10.
