Movies: Romeo And Juliet, It's A Boy Girl Thing & So Undercover

3/2/2015

Saturday night I was feeling bored, so I decided to watch some movies, I ended up watching three. #lifeless. I watched It's a Boy Girl Thing, So Undercover and Romeo and Juliet. Out of the three, Romeo and Juliet was probably my favorite. Like I've said many times prior, I'm a hopeless romantic! The version of Romeo and Juliet I watched was the one made in 2013 starring Hailee Steinfield and Douglas Booth. It was great, I loved it. I'd give It's a Boy Girl Thing 7/10 stars, it was funny and lighthearted but not something I'd define as a favorite. So Undercover gets 7.8/10 stars, it was also funny and lighthearted, but predictable. Then there's Romeo and Juliet, that movie was certainly not funny or lighthearted. The romance was cute, but not quite what I expected. As of the fact I'd never seen any other Romeo & Juliets or read the book before, I just knew that basic story line that everyone knows. They fall in love, it's forbidden (have I mentioned before that I love forbidden love?) Their families are enemies, someone on Romeo's family gets killed so someone from Juliet's family is killed it's bad blah blah blah somehow Juliet takes a potion that doesn't kill her but Romeo thinks she's dead and kills himself then she stabs herself. That's the strolling everyone knows, right? No? Sorry for spoilers then! Anyway Romeo and Juliet is getting a whopping 9/10 stars, I really enjoyed the movie. The relationship was something to fall in love with, Douglas Booth was adorably attractive and I loved that Chuck was in it. (#GossipGirl)
The first movie I watched was It's a Boy Girl Thing. I knew I recognized the actor somewhere and then I was like Ohhh yeah he's from that failure movie that doesn't even deserve to be called City of Bones and Gossip Girl. He has a seriously high voice in this movie, I found it funny and weird. I came across It's a Boy Girl Thing when I looked up lists of cute romance movies. It looked okay so I decided to watch it. There were plenty of things in it that made me laugh, I recommend the movie if you just want to laugh and don't feel like watching Easy A, John Tucker Must Die or any of those movies. Like it's not at the top of my list of favorite movies well, it's not really on the list, but it was pretty good.

The next movie I watched was So Undercover. It stars Miley Cyrus as a PI who goes undercover in a as a sorority girl. I found this movie a few weeks back when I was looking up Josh Bowman videos after... It's quite funny and enjoyable. I did like it more than it's a Boy Girl thing but not that much better. The plot twists were predictable yet still fun to watch.
I was pleasantly surprised when Megan Park showed up in this movie. I love Megan Park, she's a good actress. Her part as Cotton was pretty funny. What else can I Say about this movie? Uh. It's funny, no wait I already said it... Just watch it.

Then there's Romeo and Juliet, sigh. Sometimes I don't' like old fashioned movies because they look so fake, but this one looked very real. I'll start this off by saying it didn't make me cry, but it made me feel like I was crying inside. I don't really cry a lot so if it did made me cry that would be monumental.
Okay, this movie made me think Douglas Booth would be a prefect William Herondale (read The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare, you won't regret it) he's right there next to Joshua Anthony Brand, though I'm not sure if Joshua can act, so... The romance was a little quick and the whole thing happened in a matter of days, but it was fun to watch. Actually the movie felt a bit rushed to me? I would've liked it if it were longer.
Chuck Bass AKA Ed Westwick was on this as Tybalt lol I love that name. Tybalt. I mean, he died pretty quickly and had some anger issues but still

Even though I knew they'd both die at the end I was jut screaming in my head WAIT SHES GONNA WAKE UP!! WAIT!!!!!!! And at the end of the movie I was kinda feeling more like this
