Who knew that couponing was, in some ways, a sport? To be honest, not me. It sounds boring, going through magazines and newspapers, even items you've purchased, and cutting out barcodes and other forms of proof of purchase, and then (re)stocking up on those exact items that you most likely do not need. There's also a hoarder element here that needs attention, too.

As for the film, the fantastic cast (including the underutilized Joel McHale and deadpanned Vince Vaughn, who felt out of his element but made it work to take on the role of who he was portraying) make for an entertaining film, but it's the story that kept my full interest. From couponing to straight-up breaking the law? Now that's my kind of jam.

I have had fun at Sears, but I have never had singing-It's A Sunshine Day-on-the-escalator-with-choreography fun at Sears.

One of the funniest comedies of the 90s. They put a classic 1970's sitcom family in "present day" and created a dual time capsule of 70's TV and 90's pop culture. It's an incredible balance of paying homage to iconic moments from the show and parodying it at the same time. So quoteable, and I do love the songs.

Timothy Olyphant is my fave celeb fella. His hair does him no favors in this, but he eventually wears a Santa hat, and then his hair sort of flattens after. Claire calls him medium-cute: if only she had seen him with any other hair.

I went in blind, and I was expecting a gritty drug drama. Instead it is pretty funny with some really unexpected surprises.

The setting and special effects were great, but the film was sidetracked by a lousy script, where each character delivered their lines as if they were in a middle school production. And the ending? Unfulfilling and predictable.

Just keep the money, I don't care.

The shades of reality only get more pronounced the older this film gets.
EGR is amazing and his final scenes are gut wrenching. Such an amazing moment!

I appreciate The Birdcage's significance to the LGBTQ+ community and how progressive it was, especially as a major studio comedy. Nathan Lane is really great in this with a few especially moving scenes, and Robin Williams is also good, more subdued than his other comedy roles. They were the only characters I liked though, and I just didn't think it was very funny.
