Wow we haven’t done these in a while! (apparently Robin doesn’t like to see new movies) BUT we finally both saw THE TOWN. Directed by Ben Affleck. Okay this movie was wayy over rated. like “up in the air”, I was very disappointed. NOTHING HAPPENED. Ben robs bank, ben falls in love with girl, ben cant tell her who he really is, blah blah blah, shooting, blah blah blah, a few witty lines, blah, the end. AND don’t get me started on Blake Lively, what the hell was she doing in this movie?!!!! Its not hard to act like your high on oxy cotton, they could have chosen any no name for the part and it would have been much more authentic. In all, this movie just seemed like it was trying too hard to be a badass heist movie but it just ended being a bad version of SNATCH, except substitute the awesome pikey accents with annoying boston ones, and the talent/hilariously entertaining plot with no talent and a plot that I could have written in gr 5. So I guess its not like Snatch at all. Damn Snatch was awesome.
Hey Laura, did you know that eating bananas will decrease your symptoms of PMS? You should eat some.
This movie was great. I once married a guy from Boston, his name was Matt Damon, he took me to red sox games and fed me beer by the tub. Okay, I actually just dreamed about that. Anyways, I have a thing for boston accents. I have a thing for Ben and Matt…I mean have you seen Good Will Hunting? Hello? Anyways, the Boston accents didn’t bother me, in fact I rather enjoyed them. This movie not only inspired me to rob more banks but it also gave me some great ideas for my upcoming Halloween outfit. I was actually surprised at Blake Lively’s performance. Isn’t she the girl that gossips a lot and wore those sista-pants? She pulled off the oxy-cotton Bostonion well I thought, especially if her only formal acting training is wearing pants. I give this movie a 3 out of 5. It was better than Reindeer Games but not as good as Good Will Hunting. Also, since I know Ben will be reading this, I’d like to take this opportunity to invite him to my birthday party. It’ll be around the 17 of February. (Don’t worry Laura isn’t invited) Hugs!

This movie rating is so informative and insightful! Thanks!!!!
I agree with most of the Rita Rating.
The film is definitely over-rated, but the shooting scenes were REALLY good, especially the final one in the stadium.
Jeremy Renner’s performance was the best of all, what a bad ass guy. The end… what kind of a chick-flick ending was that?! It’s like a bad alternate ending for the Note Book.
You will hardly find a better movie than Snatch, it’s just brilliant, so please lets not even compare.
Good review!
