I took my wife to see it last weekend. During the wedding dress scene she was like I can't believe you brought me to see this, I don't like this. But over the next few days she kept quoting lines from it until finally she was like you know what I liked that movie.

The cop car scene was hilarious

I think the cop car scene was what stuck with me too... and the battle of "best friend" speeches.

I think the wedding dress scene was definitely targeting the (young) male demographic; I can see why your wife would roll her eyes during that scene hahaha.

Those speeches were great.

Yeah, I had read that that scene was added by the guys working on the movie to draw in the young male demo.

Pleasant surprise to see Jill Clayburgh in Bridesmaids as well. Think that was probably her last role, right?

Watched I am Number 4 over the weekend. Pretty good flick! The bad guys were pretty cool.

I really want to see Super 8, so much so I am thinking of taking a half day.

I've only heard good things from the college feedback... they're saying it's this generation's Goonies.

I've actually heard rumors of a Goonies sequel, with the original cast. Funny story- I actually sat right next to Data at the Phantom Menace premiere a long time ago. He was my friend's classmate in film school. Dude sounded exactly the same as a grown-up haha. Pinchers of power!

One-eyed Willy and his booty traps! Haha. I love that movie.

I don't know anyone who has not loved Super 8. I gotta see it.

The wife dragged me to Bridesmaids one night when we were on vacation a few weeks ago, and it was soooo funny. I laughed out loud in the theater at least a dozen times.

OK so I took a half day yesterday, was not getting much done becasue I kept think about the Bruins. So I decided to go see Super 8. Great movie, it is definitely one you need to see a few times. Was it better then Goonies? Hard to say, I love Goonies but I love it because it reminds me of my childhood. I wish I could see Super 8 and Goonies both with my 12 year old mind, I am willing to bet I pick Super 8 over Goonies then.

I give it:

4 Stars out of 5

Also if you see it sit through the credits, great stuff there.

On a side note have you noticed a lot of movie makers now a days like to set their movies in the 70's or 80's. It helps them not have to write story lines that have to work around cell phones and the internet, which I am sure are a pain.
