Critique the Critic

A movie that I saw that is now my favorite movie is Grandma's Boy. That movie was funny in so many different ways. The review of the film I found on http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/grandmas_boy/#synopsis, really represents that movie well. It's funny even reading the review. If someone who has never seen Grandma's Boy were to read the review of the movie, they would be very happen to know that it's a good movie and it is very much worth seeing. I like how the critic said,

"His friendly dealer Dante (PETER DANTE) can't let Alex crash because he has a business to run and besides, the guard lion will be arriving any day."

That's probably one of the funniest parts in the movie. The whole movie is based off how Alex, also known as Allen Covert is creating a video game that J.P. also known as Joel Moore, is obviously jealous of and goes over to Alex's house and pretends to want to open up to Alex, when the whole time he just wanted to steal Alex's game. Which he has no problem doing. The rest of the movie is Alex either running around doing errands for his grandma and her two roommates, all them partying or Alex trying to convince his boss that the game J.P. stole is really Alex's game.

"But when jealous nerdboy J.P. swipes Alex’s "Demonik" and tries to pass it off as his own, it becomes a battle of Gen-Xers versus gin players when Samantha produces a secret weapon: Alex's grandma (and now master gamer) Lilly."

And that's how the movie ends, with Lilly winning the game and Alex becoming the hero. I really like how this critic put together their review because it represents the movie really good. Not only is it funny, but it makes the reader really want to see the film. I don't think anyone would read this review and not want to see Grandma's Boy. My dad doesn't like movies like this one and he even liked it.
