MOVIE CHOICES PART 4: The Comedies!

This semester, you will write an essay about a movie character. You can choose from many different movies. On the blog this week, I will post videos and pictures from some of these movies. See what you think! If you have any questions, ask in the comments!

“Yes Man” (2008) – Carl (comedy)       

Jim Carrey is both funny and inspiring in this hilarious comedy about a man who learns to say "yes" to everything. I have watched this movie at least 10 times, and I always love it. 

“Groundhog Day” (1993) – Phil Connors (comedy)   

This is one of the most famous and funniest comedies from America, and Bill Murray is one of the best comedians/actors there is. This is also a really unique story, about a man who has to live the same day over and over and over again... What would you do if you couldn't move ahead in time? 

“About a Boy” (2002) – Will Freeman (comedy)               

Hugh Grant stars in this touching British comedy about a selfish man who learns to care about other people. I always feel happy when I watch this movie, because the characters are so realistic and the story is very beautiful. 

“The Internship” (2013) Nick Campbell (comedy)

In this comedy, two older guys take an internship at Google. I watch this movie a lot when I just want to relax, because it's not too serious. If you are getting interested in using Google Drive you might also find this movie interesting. The real Google campus was used in many scenes, and the founder of Google even makes a cameo appearance. "Cameo appearance" means that he doesn't do much acting, he just walks through or says one thing. 

“Freaky Friday” (2003) Tess Coleman or Anna Coleman (comedy)

What would happen if you had to live your mother's life? In this movie a mother and a daughter switch bodies and have to figure out how to get back to their own life. For this movie, you can choose to write about either character - the mother or the daughter.

                                                           

“The Princess Diaries” (2001) – Mia Thermopolis (comedy) [first movie only]

Many people know this movie, the first big starring role for Anne Hathaway.This movie has a little fashion, a little romance, and is good for people who would like to be a princess or a queen. 

“Accepted” (2006) Bartleby Gaines (comedy)

Everyone in our class qualified for university - but what if you didn't? Bartleby Gaines has to find a way to keep his parents from finding out that he didn't get into school. What he does ends up being much more impressive than just going to school. If you like to watch movies about crazy ideas and university life, check this out!
