Sassy Pants
“Sassy Pants” is an independent film about a girl named Bethany, or shall I say new adult, who starts out the film living with her controlling mother. She graduates from her home-school high school and has dreams of going to an actual college, that isn’t online. However, her mother lacks the finances to do so. She frequently disagrees with her mother who causes her to move in with her dad and his lover, Chip, at a point. That turned out to be short lived after her mom tells her that her grandma is ‘dying’ which turns out to be completely untrue, and was a ploy to get her to move back to her mother’s house. She also is in love with the guy across the street, who happens to be going into the marines. She always got a job at another clothing store where she blossomed and began to sell her designs there to save up for fashion school, which was her ultimate dream. She loses that job as well but gets into the fashion school of her dreams and goes off to college there. I found this film humorous, enjoyable, charming, and overall a delightful film to watch. The film “Sassy Pants” was enjoyable because of its humor. It wasn’t an overall comedy film but it had its moments. There was a scene I felt was especially funny, well, according to my standards. It was during the time that her grandma was bed-ridden, and Bethany’s brother walks into his grandma’s room and smells something vile, and thinks it is the dog but, it turns out to be his grandma, and I thought it was funny just the way they acted it out, and how it happened. The film itself was filled with bits of humor, occasionally cheesy, but funny.
The film “Sassy Pants” was also enjoyable because of its charm. There may have been some awkward scenes, but that was drowned out by charming or adorable, scenes. There aren’t really specific scenes that it occurs that are major, but it is sort of spread out throughout the whole movie. Even the tragic or sad scenes were well layed out and I just enjoyed the effect they had

    Our main character Sophie is a “huge dork”(pg 40) of a sixteen year old “plain” (pg 34) girl, who has “brown hair, freckles, and the whole girl-next-door vibe going on” (pg 22). She is a “witch” (pg 11) who is “really bad at girl stuff” (pg 39). She was raised by her mom, “Grace Mercer” (pg 22), who is a “human” (pg 84), “Religious Studies teacher” (pg 23). Sophie’s “roommate” (pg 29) “Jennifer Talbot” (pg 29) or “Jenna” (pg 29) is a “tiny girl, barely five feet tall” (pg 28) with ”skin that was nearly snow, as was her hair, with the exception of a hot-pink stripe running through her bangs.”…

    In particular, General Jack D. Ripper character is humorous and his acting is applaudable. Unrealistically, Ripper was able to order a nuclear attack without obtaining permission from the President which is contentious and strange. There are more candidates for his position that are not as derange as he is. Clearly, through the proper procedures and testings, a deranged General wouldn’t have been appointed to that position. The phrase “precious bodily fluids,” stated by Ripper (General Jack D. Ripper; Dr. Strangelove) was also humorous as all organs are precious, but what’s even more precious is the males bodily fluids. Another character I found to be unbelievable is Major Kong. Near the end of the film, no man is as eager or excited to be riding a bomb as it descends from the plane. I found it to be ridiculous, but nonetheless humorous. Even though this film is mainly about an accidentally nuclear bomb heading its way to Russia, the disbelief of the logic of events and the characters themselves have contributed to the enjoyment of watching this…

    The movie portrays how the lack of parents guidance can make things difficult when you’re too young to make your own choices. In a very delicate scene April cries in a bathroom because she is afraid of the choices she has to make in order to get into an university. The drama brings the reality of the pressure such young people…

    Although “Steel Magnolias” was made in 1989 it is personally my favorite chick flick. Possibly because my mother and grandmother watched it way too many times when I was young. "Steel Magnolias" is about the close knit relationships between six ordinary Southern women that are living in a small town in Louisiana. The actors and actresses bring the story line alive with their snappy attitudes and funny dialog. Throughout the film the setting sets a mood that can be hilarious or tragic. But just by the setting you are able to tell what the mood is. For example in the beauty parlor there is humor but in the hospital or the grave site after Shelby’s death there is a tragic mood that was set by the setting. “Steel Magnolias” is a wonderful film…

    Donnie Darko Review Essay

    • 979 Words

    I am not talking about the usual, “break-the-suspense” humor that gets one chuckle at most. While laughs occur sporadically throughout the film, the funniest moments are between Donnie and his two dimwitted friends. They provide a blazingly blatant, juvenile humor, including a conversation about the reproductive tendencies of Smurfs and their play-by-play commentary on Grandma Death, a frightening old woman who walks back and forth to her mailbox all day long. A more satirical humor is found in the characters of Jim Cunningham (Patrick Swayze), an over-the-top self-help guru, and Kitty Farmer (Beth Grant), the overtly Christian gym teacher who is his devout follower. But don't get the wrong idea. While some scenes will make you laugh out loud, others will be sure to haunt your nightmares for weeks to…

    Of Mice and Man is a great movie with surprise twists. Even though they took out scenes from the book the put their own scene in order to make a good movie while sticking with the book. The way they hook the person to watch the movie by adding a thrilling chase scene and we don’t know what’s happening so we want to keep watching to see why they are being chased and hiding. I personally would give this movie 5 stars because it is one of the best movies from a book I have…

    Billy Madison's Story

    • 897 Words

    The idea of a slacking alcoholic going back to school with eight-year-old kids is undoubtedly an immediate chuckle; but no comedic plot is complete without scenes that keep the viewer wanting more. The opening scene immediately does this: “Sun tan lotion is good for me. You protect me, tee hee hee.” Billy sits in his pool singing drunken songs and sipping on his favorite cocktails when he realizes that it is “Nudy Magazine Day”. His adventure to the mailbox on a golf cart (while chasing an imaginary penguin) gives the viewer an idea of the laughs to come. Another memorable scene occurs on a third grade class field trip. Billy’s friend Ernie pees his pants and does not want any of his classmates to know. Billy, being the great comic (and eventual friend) that he is, splashes water on his jeans and announces that he has peed his pants. “Of course I peed my pants! Everyone my age pees their pants. It’s the coolest!” It is scenes like these that give the movie its own unique comedic quality while still allowing the plot to move in a positive direction.…

    I believe the main character in the film to be Cady Heron who is played by Lindsay Lohan and is a sixteen year old girl. She was homeschooled her entire life until now. I would place Cady in the Adolescence stage of Erikson’s theory of development. It is described that the basic conflict in this stage is identity vs. role confusion. In this stage teens need to develop a personal sense of self and personal identity. If one is able to succeed it will lead them with the ability to stay true to their self. Failure to do so leads the individual to role confusion and a weak sense of self.…
