    Mary Jane's Not a Virgin Anymore

    ★★★★

    A feature length testament to how bad some people want to talk about losing their virginity.

    This movie transparently rocks. Radical in content in the way it subverts the 90's sex comedy to actually address women's enjoyment/discontent. Kind of radical in form, in the scenes that aren't strictly two people having a conversation (thinking about the opening fantasy and the montage with Steve around the end). It's also radical to shoot on a shoe-string budget with your friends who don't know how to act but clearly have the PASSION.

    Love Jacobson's style and wish we could've seen more </3

    Good stuff! But ‘good stuff’ after ‘absolute, all-timer family movie’ could be considered a disappointment. Paddington’s cute. I love bear.

    Really loved the climax. Terrific action! Could’ve used even more Olivia Colman. She understood the assignment and was a worthy successor to the throne Hugh Grant has vacated.

    A little girl in the front was cracking up for every pratfall and that made me happy.

    ★★★½

    I haven't seen Top Gun in ~15 years, but I'll take this over it any day. We don't need American exceptionalism. We need to portray the U.S. military appropriately a.k.a. buffoonishly.

    Here lies the theatrical, big budget parody film. I guess people just lost their fondness for laughing together in community :((

    I had never seen this one despite being a big Airplane/Naked Gun/ Mel Brooks kid. It's a little less clever and inspired than those movies, but still worth…
