Movies that make you laugh and cry...

Last Friday I went to see Run, Fat Boy, Run with my 16 year old DS and my mother. What a funny movie! It is a British comedy written by Simon Pegg who starred in Shawn of the Dead and Hotfuzz and was directed by David Schwimmer of Friends.

This movie received mixed reviews from critics, but the audiences seem to love it and we really enjoyed it! At one part I laughed so hard I cried. I love British humor and this movie ranks up there with Waking Ned Divine and The Full Monty.

Yesterday I was especially happy to get the mail because a movie that I have long wanted to see had arrived! The Kite Runner is one of my favorite books and the movie did not disappoint. We stayed up late to finish it and DH and DS both thought it was a great story. It wasn’t as violent as the book, although I think that was a smart move by the screenwriter. The story is more about the relationship between the characters than the brutality of the Taliban. This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.

Both movies are great, it just depends on your mood!
