5 Films of 2007 that I Enjoyed but Many Others Didn't.

Derek Fleek
This is the list of movies (in no particular order) that I enjoyed but many others didn't. Remember, these films are by no means great, but I enjoyed them.

1) Wild Hogs-- This is one of the major films of 2007 that got cut up by the critics. I really couldn't find any reason to really hate this movie. I thought that the cast was funny and the whole time I had a blast. I know that I am the minority on this one, but what can I say, I had fun watching the group run into all sorts of bad luck on their road trip. This road trip to nowhere leads to lots of gut-busting laughs for those of you who don't take the movie too seriously.

2) Good Luck Chuck-- Once again, this is another film that most critics found very foul and unfunny. Me, on the other hand, enjoyed most of the film. With the exception of one over-long sex scene that could have been left out completely, this was surprisingly cute. This being said from a guy who thought that lots of the comedies in 2007 failed to even put a smile on my face.

3) The Number 23-- JIm Carrey's downfall? I think not. This was a solid movie with a solid performace from Jim Carrey, who should deserve more praise for this role. I am a big JIm Carrey fan and for those who think that serious work isn't for him, I will have to beg the differ. This is one of the years most over-rated films. Don't listen to the critics JIm, your still the most talented man alive.

4) The Invasion-- Sure, this is a unnessarry remake, but how many of those have we had recently? This one actually creeped me out at times, which is hard to do. Nicole Kidman was pretty convincing and the atmosphere of the film lured me in from the beginning. Some say this is one of the years worst films. It may not be great, but it is quality sci-fi entertainment. Nicole Kidman save the day and the movie.

5) Underdog-- So, I liked Underdog, sue me. Yeah, it's cheesy, but it's harmless fun. I am usually entertained by Jim Belushi movies and this one didn't fail. I know, some of the jokes are lame and the flatuance humor is stale. There is just something about it that made it watchable and surprisingly likeable. I can't really put my finger on it. Oh well.

    I've never heard of any of these or seen any of them - I must be really behind the times :-)

    I have seen only one of these films (The Number 23). Although I do agree that Carrey did a good job acting, I just could not get past the obsessive demeanor of his character. It got annoying. Maybe that was the point or maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it. I will have to make a concerted effort to view the others in your list.

    Thanks and enjoy.

    Good list. Wild Hogs was decent, Good Luck Chuck was funny, Number 23 was interesting and haven't seen the others.

    The Number 23 is one of the years most underrated films. I messed up and accidently put overrated. Please forgive me.
