My Thoughts:
For the end of my birthday marathon I thought I would watch this movie again. It is the 3rd time I watched this movie since I bought it about a year ago. It has always been a favorite comedy of mine. I watched this one because it is Mitch's 39th birthday that sends him into a mid-life crisis. And the trip is given to him for his birthday from his two friends. This movie is filled with laughs. I have a hard time believing this movie is almost 20yrs old. Though some of the jokes proves it so. Like trying to explain to his friend how to set up a VCR for recording. But even if some of the stuff is dated... it is still a lot of fun to watch.

My Thoughts:
This is the first time I watched this movie. It is a nice family movie.... geared a little more towards the kids then adults. But entertaining all the same. It was pretty predictable... as I had the movie basically figured out within the first 15 minutes. Even with that I enjoyed watching the story get there. Before putting this one on I asked Brittany if she wanted to watch it with me... but she turned me down. Said she saw the trailer and it really didn't interest her. I wish she would have given it a chance. I think she may have enjoyed it as well.

This one never really impressed me that much. Found it to be a bit slow and uninteresting. Probably one of my least favorite of any I have watched so far.
