This is a tough one to describe. I feel like I liked it more than I should have, for what it was. The story's very weak, especially at the end when they literally just change one character's entire personality in order to come up with a happy ending, and yet... it doesn't matter. It's fun, it's sweet, and the musical numbers are fun. Also the animation is quite pretty.

Were the World Mine (2008) - Rated 15 Nov 2014

Really enjoyable musical bits based off the language of the play, a sweet romance and a fun story, it's not terribly deep or anything, but then neither was A Midsummer Night's Dream - that was a bunch of dumb kids getting lost in the woods. I think it's a disservice to compare it to Hedwig, though. They're completely different movies and I happened to hate Hedwig, so I put off seeing this a long time based on that.

Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) - Rated 15 Nov 2014

A terrif! little Julie Andrews film that I stumbled across and really enjoy. It's not exactly overflowing with ideas of women's lib, but it's a silly, flighty little romance, and I can enjoy it for what it is. Plus, Julie Andrews is a wonderful comedienne. Makes me wish she'd gone more in that direction. Oh, and Carol Channing is also terrific. Raaaaaaaaasberriiiiiiiiiiies!

The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996) - Rated 15 Nov 2014

I'm not usually a fan of romances, but you know what, I like that Barbra isn't afraid to make a romance movie centered around herself as the "not conventially pretty" heroine. There are so many action movies that are nothing but bullshit fantasy, why not this? Also Lauren Bacall is fun to watch.

The Importance of Being Earnest (2002) - Rated 15 Nov 2014

Pretty and fun enough that I'll rewatch it from time to time. The script is the major star, but Judi Dench is - as usual - a ton of fun to watch whenever she's on screen.

The Emperor's New Groove (2000) - Rated 15 Nov 2014

You know, when I first watched this I didn't like it. I know, I know. I'm not sure what was wrong with younger me, but whatever it was, apparently I'm much better now. This is a fun and silly movie that has a high rewatchability rating.

The Burbs (1989) - Rated 15 Nov 2014

I'm not usually a fan of Tom Hanks, but my god is it ever fun watching him and the rest of the cast chewing scenery all over the place.

The Avengers (2012) - Rated 15 Nov 2014

This is a lot of silly fun to bad had in one movie. Great dialogue, great pulling together of a team, and a terrific villain.

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (1990) - Rated 15 Nov 2014

Oh yes, I love this movie a lot. The way they play with words and ideas is so much fun that it never gets old. And watching adorably young Tim Roth and Gary Oldman interacting, with Richard Dreyfuss often popping in to play along, is just delicious.
