Fame

Rating: PG
Rolo Grade: C-

If you are in the mood for music and dancing then you might want to watch this movie, but that would be the only reason. However if you are really in the mood for a movie with music and dancing I could recommend better ones than Fame.

This is a movie about a bunch of kids at the Performing Arts School in NY. There are little plots here and there, but mostly it is supposed to portray these kids trying to be famous and "find themselves". Really this movie was a bad version of Step Up, Save the Last Dance, and High School Musical. The only reason I am giving this movie an average grade is because there was some good dancing and music, but if you are thinking about seeing this movie I would say don't. You should watch one of the other movies I have mentioned.

When in Rome

Rating: PG-13
Rolo Grade: B-

I was in a movie mood tonight so I went to see When in Rome. I really like Kristen Bell, especially in Fan Boys, and lets face it who out there does not have a little crush on Josh Duhamel? I love the fact that a lot of movies are packed full of celebs. Dax Shepard, Jon Heder, Will Arnett, Danny Devito, and Anjelica Hoston were all characters. This movie even has a completely random cameo by Shaq.

But anyway about the movie, it is about Beth who is burned one to many times and doesn't believe in love anymore until she meets Nick. But when Beth was in Rome at her baby sister's wedding she stole coins out of the fountain of love. The coins that she took belong to men that are now madly in love with her. Does Nick really love her? Or is he just under a spell?

All in all the movie was a good chick flick. I smiled, laughed, and even giggled once or twice. But on the car ride home I was trying to think about what I though was so funny and I couldn't think of anything. Which makes me think that I was just really in the mood for a movie and if you are in the mood for a chick flick this is one to see. But if not you can wait for it to go to the cheap theater, or even DVD.
