A career-driven single woman hires a surrogate mother to carry her child to term.
TRUE DUDES REVIEW:
This film was mediocre in every way. So much so that it’s hard to even have much to say about it. It was the equivalent of an overlong sitcom episode. There were a few chuckles here and there, but mostly it was boring.
This was definitely a disappointment. The cast is great, I love Tina Fey, and Steve Martin has a hilarious cameo as Tina’s new age boss, but the movie is a total fucking snoozer. A couple of decent laughs just could not fill the films run time. The plot felt like recycled t.v. shtick with a total lack of character development.

This is the best trailer I’ve seen in a long time. It looks to be a gory good time.

This could be the Cloverfield of zombie movies.

Deniro and Pacino aren’t exactly at the top of their games, but this looks badass.

TRUE DUDES REVIEWS WEEKLY WHAT THE FUCK!!!
The weekly What the Fuck is a weekly column (obviously) that has to do with whatever is pissing us off this week in the world of movies.
WEEKLY WHAT THE FUCK #13
I shit you not! This is a real movie. All of you should be screaming WHAT THE FUCK! This is Disney scrapping the bottom of the creativity barrel. What happened to beautifily drawn cartoons like The Little Mermaid and The Lion King. When I was a kid and a new Disney movie came out it was an event. Is anyone seriously looking forward to this? Oh well, I guess we might as well get ready for inevitable Taco Bell/Disney toy campaign. I’m sure Taco Bell will have a ridiculous amount of product placement in this undoubtedly shitty movie. Hell, that was probably the reason the stupid thing got made in the first place. What the fuck?

Aboard their flight to Amsterdam, Harold and Kumar are caught trying to sneak a bong onboard, the first step in a misadventure that finds them mistaken for terrorists and sent to Guantanamo Bay.
TRUE DUDES REVIEW:
This movie has more female frontal nudity in it than the last porno I watched. That’s right readers, it’s tits, vaginas, and weed galore. If you liked Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, than you’ll love Escape From Guantanamo Bay!
Cockmeat sandwiches, an inbred cyclopes, hookers, pubic hair, and Neil Patrick Harris. These are just a few of the elements that make this movie hilarious. The acting is all around decent, with Rob Corddry being especially funny as the homeland security agent. The script is clever and unpredictable. This movie is all over the place. It’s fast paced and the high jinx never let up for a minute. For a fun time at the movies you should definitely check this out.

TRUE DUDES REVIEWS WEEKLY WHAT THE FUCK!!!
The weekly What the Fuck is a weekly column (obviously) that has to do with whatever is pissing us off this week in the world of movies.
WEEKLY WHAT THE FUCK #12
So, the other day I re watched Last Action Hero and I couldn’t help but think what the fuck? This is a totally underrated classic and it’s a shame how truly unloved this film is. When released in 1993, it was intended to be one of the summers biggest blockbusters. Budgeted at a then staggering 85 million, it grossed only 15 million its opening weekend and barely crossed the 50 million mark before leaving theaters. During one of Schwarzenegger’s finest moments his fans hung him out to dry.
For starters, this movie is hilarious. Schwarzenegger gives a great performance while making fun of his muscle bound, hero status. His tongue in cheek performance compliments the script perfectly. Written by True Dude favorite Shane Black, the script is filled with so many smart and witty film fan in jokes and movie references that it makes your head spin. The jokes come fast and furious and are almost always spot on. Last Action Hero is so self aware and self mocking that you can’t help but grin along with the cast. Its really a crime against great cinema that this spoof/homage of the high octane action films of the summer never clicked with American moviegoers. It seemed to be too intelligent for its intended audience. Instead of just being able to watch shit blow up, they were forced to follow a complicated, but clever plot. Gone was the broad humor and tough guy one liners. In its place was fresh ideas, creative dialouge, and characters you had to care about. The core action fans just did not want to see Arnold making fun of himself or the genre that they had come to know and love. Unfortunately, this was the last time Schwarzenegger and company ever tried anything quite this original. And thanks to the masses we had to endure shit like Collateral Damage. What the fuck?

A college professor who moonlights as a forensic psychiatrist for the FBI receives a death threat telling him that he has only 88 minutes to live, causing him to scramble to stay alive while he tries to learn his potential assailant’s identity.
TRUE DUDES REVIEW:
Two words come to mind when thinking of this movie, dog and shit. That’s what this movie is folks dog shit. Horribly filmed, acted, edited, and scripted, with some of the worst ADR work I have ever seen. I was able to figure out the killer’s identity in the first 20 minutes which made sitting through this god awful film a fucking chore.
Al Pacino turns in a truly terrible performance as does the bland and forgettable supporting cast. They spout lines as if they are reading them from off screen cue cards and to make matters worse, most of the time their mouths don’t even match the dialogue. A predictable story and ludicrous plot twists only added fuel to the fire of my hatred for this wretched garbage of a film. Finally,the editor’s attempt at trying to salvage something remotely coherent and watchable was in vein This film was not even close.
