Monsters vs. Aliens

A woman (Reese Witherspoon) transformed into a giant after she is struck by a meteorite on her wedding day becomes part of a team of monsters sent in by the U.S.

Honestly I thought this movie was going to be like a lot of other Dreamworks movies a bunch of pop songs and Mike Meyers but instead this movie is hilarious and not filled with a bunch of pop culture references. I have to add this is a pretty original premise the story is kind of predictable but it is a kids movie so I am not looking for too much depth.

It's Susan Murphy's (Reese Witherspoon) wedding day to fiancé Derek (Paul Rudd) which is disrupted by her being struck by a meteorite! She then grows incredibly tall and is given the name Ginormoca, joining a team of monsters who are enlisted by the government to defeat an alien mastermind (Rainn Wilson) that is planning to take over the world.

I saw this on its opening weekend and still get a kick of it when it comes on pay TV.3D seems to work less often than you'd think.

*SPOILERS*I'm so, so sorry, but I think my expectations went a bit too high for this film. Reese Witherspoon, that unfunny actress that acted in Legally Blonde and Legally Blonde 2 comes and acts in Monsters VS Aliens, a movie that sounds like it will be tons of fun and will have heaps of laughs and (family) action scenes.

I finally understand why they're called DreamWorks, it's because they work to make your wildest dreams come true (and as corny as that may sound, it actually sums them up perfectly). Monsters Vs.

Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) is a woman who got upsized by a meteorite on her wedding day. B.

I am a fan of Superheroes, I am a fan of b-movies, and so I love films that blur the line between the two, part of the reason is also because I think that a lot of those old B-movies could be remade as superhero movies very easily, you want proof? Sam Raimi's Darkman was inspired by old universal horror films and mad scientist B-movie, Wes Craven's Swamp Thing also blurs the lines a bit and you also have this movie.
