"Cheaper by the Dozen 2" Movie Review

Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005) Steve Martin, Eugene Levy, Bonnie Hunt, Hilary Duff, Carmen Electra
The Bakers return in this sequel to the 2003 film Cheaper by the Dozen and this time they go to Camp Winnetka and they meet another family on the lake and later compete in a game with them. This movie was so much better than the first one. I wasn't sure if I was going to like tis movie because I did not like the first one at all, but I ended up liking it.

"Elizabethtown" Movie Review

Elizabethtown (2005) Kirsten Dunst, Orlando Bloom, Susan Sarandon, Judy Greer, Jessica Biel, Alec Baldwin
Orlando Bloom (Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Troy, Kingdom of Heaven, Pirates of the Caribbean) plays Drew Baylor, a worker for a shoe company who gets fired and later his dad dies and he goes back to his hometown of Elizabethtown, Kentucky for his father's funeral. On the way he meets Claire Colburn (Kirsten Dunst) a flight attendant. Judy Greer plays Drew's sister, Heather Baylor; Jessica Biel plays Drew's girlfriend Ellen Kishmore; Susan Sarandon plays his mother; and Alec Baldwin plays one of his co-workers. This wasn't too bad, but my only complaint is that it was just a little slow in the middle. All in all, it was an okay movie.
