Laurene Landon, Hayden Panettiere, Lauren Storm, Paul Rust and Jack Carpenter in "I Love You, Beth Cooper"

Hayden Panettiere, we all known her from “Heroes”. In I Love You, Beth Cooper, Hayden plays a lead cheerleader yet again (not surprising). This time around, she needs no heroes to save her. Instead, she’s the hero who saves high school valedictorian Denis Cooverman (Paul Rust) twice. On the graduation day, Denis is persuaded by his best friend, Rich Munsch (Jack Carpenter) to confess his love for Beth Cooper as it is now or never. And he did. At the same time, he has also talked too much, offending a snobbish girl, a big bully and an army named Kevin who happens to be Beth’s boyfriend.

After the ceremony, Denis invites Beth to his pathetic graduation party before he gets his ass kicked by Beth’s boyfriend, Kevin.

Back home, Denis parents leave the two boys alone as they have a “vacation” plan. Mr. Cooverman lets his son have a bottle of champagne and even tells him where he keeps the condom.

Both Denis and Rich wait for Betty to show up though Rich knows it’s a dead cert she won’t turn up. He was wrong, as a matter of fact, she did turn up with two of her best friends, Cammy and Treece tagging along.

Afterwards, Beth’s former boyfriend, Kevin shows up at Denis’ house with his bulky friends as they try to kill Denis. And the chase begins, three maniacs pursue two losers and three cheerleaders. The adventures are surely fun ala Superbad style, you know, dorks get pursued and there are tonnes of funny moments ensue.

Although I Love You, Beth Cooper is another teen movie, it is a light-hearted comedy that’s never short of fun and excitement. The teenagers have a fun outings and good times together. So did I.

My ratings: 7 out of 10.

Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds in "The Proposal"

Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) works for Golden Book as the chief editor. When she finds out that she is being deported back to Canada, she forces her assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) to marry her. An immigration officer is suspicious of their marriage and warns them on conducting a fraud.

As Andrew accepts Margaret’s idea of marriage and a quicky divorce to follow, he makes her to promote him to the position of editor and have his manuscript be published.

They spend their weekends in Andrew’s hometown, Sitka, Alaska to celebrate the 90th birthday of Andrew’s grandmother Gammy (Betty White). Andrew announces his plan to marry Margaret in front of many friends and family members, everyone rejoices except Andrew’s father and ex-girlfriend Gertrude (Malin Akerman).

Andrew’s mother and grandmother insist to have Margaret and Andrew marry in the barn at their house in conjunction with Gammy’s birthday.

As Margaret is overwhelmed by the reception she receives from Andrew’s family, she decides to tell Andrew’s family about the truth and walk off from the wedding. Gammy fakes a heart attack in order to get Andrew to the airport. However, when Andrew reaches the airport, Margaret’s plane has already departed. Margaret has 24 hours to leave The United States of America as soon as she lands in New York. Andrew finds Margaret packing in her office and announces his love for Margaret in front of the entire office.

Overall, the movie is surprisingly entertaining with numerous satirical jokes. The chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock is amazingly matching despite their age gap and position level in the film. While Ryan Reynolds is well-known for his sarcastic jokes, Sandra Bullock who is also the executive producer of the film, manages to pull this off as an attractive but arrogant boss that everybody hates.

My ratings: 8 out of 10.

Ben Stiller and Amy Adams in "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian"

Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is a successful man, he’s the CEO of his own company, which invents things like Glow-in-the-dark torchlights. Larry has George Foreman (as himself) as the guest star of his own invention TV Show.

The Museum of Natural History, the place where the first Night at the Museum movie was based is closed for upgrades and renovations. It was already two years since Larry leaves his night guard job. Out of curiosity, Larry steps into the museum to check out what happen. His former boss tells him that the museum will be using high-tech technology to beam the exhibits to life instead of showcasing wax figures. The existing exhibits will be moved into federal storage at the Smithsonian Institution instead.

Larry attempts all possible ways to save the exhibits but to no avail. When he receives a call from Jedediah Smith (Owen Wilson), whom tells him that the capuchin has stolen the tablet which brings things to life and therefore, everything in the world’s largest museum complex has come to life. In order to save his friends, Larry breaks into the prohibited area of the Smithsonian Museum to save the world.

Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams) who flew on her non-stop solo flight across the Atlantic joins Larry in his adventure to prevent Kahmunrah, a wacky evil Pharoah (played by Hank Azaria) from activating the tablet to resurrect his armies.

While attempting to save the old exhibits which are held captive by Kahmunrah, Larry and Amelia encounter many new exhibits including Al Capone (Jon Bernthal), Ivan the Terrible (Christopher Guest), Napoleon Bonaparte (Alain Chabat), The Thinker and Abraham Lincoln (both played by Hank Azaria as well).
Even Sesame Street’s Oscar the Grouch and Star Wars’ Darth Vader are not spared as they want to join Kahmunrah in his evil’s bid, but both are deemed unqualified by the Pharoah.

Larry and Amelia develop some feelings for each other while trying to save the exhibits. Larry has sold his own company to fund the The Museum of Natural History and once again, the exhibits are back to its original place. The museum is even opened at night and the exhibits themselves act as tour guides. The boss of the museum doesn’t have a clue that it’s not technology but the exhibits really come alive. Larry encounters a lost tourist whom assembles Amelia and the movie ends with Larry acting as tour guide for the lost tourist. Shortly after the credits appear, the sailor who finds Larry’s cellphone in the exhibits picture frame is seen called by his mom as "Motorola".

Overall, the movie is hilarious and fun to watch as the visual is stimulating. Somehow, the excitements end there. Kahmunrah, as an evil Pharoah, is wacky and at times, funny and not at all terrifying while Al Capone, Ivan the Terrible and Napolean Bonaparte are not ruthless enough. A good film for the family.

My ratings: 7 out of 10.
