"The Wedding Ringer": Review

By Andrew Carter
Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is a lovable but socially awkward groom-to-be with a problem: he has no best man. With less than two weeks to go until he marries the girl of his dreams (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), owner and CEO of Best Man, Inc., a company that provides flattering best men for socially challenged guys in need. What ensues is a hilarious wedding charade as they try to pull off the big con, and an unexpected budding bromance between Doug and his fake best man Jimmy.

 This movie is very funny and recommended for all ages. Like all movies it does feature some curse words and one short inappropriate scene. I rate it a 9/10.

SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water REVIEW

By Zach Cooper

Since its debut in 1999, the show SpongeBob SquarePants has been dominating its home channel Nickelodeon. After over ten years since his last feature film "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie", the gang is back!


SPOILER SUMMARY:

The film is about the Krabby Patty secret formula being stolen by Burger Beard. He harnessed the menu when he rewrote the story of SpongeBob in a magical book that makes everything come true.

Down in Bikini Bottom, a war between the Krusty Krab and the Chum Bucket breaks out. In a tug-of-war between SpongeBob and Plankton, the secret formula bottle mysteriously vanishes. With no other witnesses, Mr. Krabs accuses Plankton of taking it. But theres a bigger problem. Without the formula, no more Krabby Patties can be made. This causes the whole town of Bikini Bottom to go into a riot. Then, Plankton and SpongeBob team up to get back the formula. Part of it involves coming into our world.



This movie is great for your kids. Kids will be laughing quite a lot! There are also some good jokes for the parents. Though, I felt like the storyline was weak at times. I would personally rate it a 7/10.
