Fat Guys at the Movies - ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ Review
play

04/19/24 • 1 min

Rated R
Opens: April 19, 2024
Kevin says The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Kinda Rocks!
It’s another weekend, and another war movie is opening in theaters. But this one takes a more whimsical approach.

Guy Ritchie directs THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE, a somewhat true but greatly embellished story of a secret British plot during World War II.

Winston Churchill directs a rag-tag group of mercenaries to cripple Germany’s U-Boat capabilities. And along the way, a lot of Nazis get killed. I mean, A LOT.

Not since Quentin Tarantino’s INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS has there been such a joyful display of Nazi grudge-killing, and I’m all for that. It’s what rockets this movie from a war film to an almost comic-book level of insanity. And its tongue-in-cheek attitude with a formidable cast makes it a lot of fun.

As expected from Ritchie, there’s plenty of action and punchy one-liners. He’s definitely back in his filmmaking element here.

Not to be taken too seriously as it revels in its own pulpiness, this is a silly film, but it’s still a great deal of fun.

THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE gets three and a half machine guns out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.

Fat Guys at the Movies - ‘Kung Fu Panda 4’ Review

‘Kung Fu Panda 4’ Review

Fat Guys at the Movies

play

03/08/24 • 1 min

Rated PG
Opens: March 8, 2024
Kevin says KUNG FU PANDA 4 Kinda rocks!
After a successful trilogy, DreamWorks brings another installment of the unlikely Dragon Warrior. The aptly named KUNG FU PANDA 4 follows Po as he battles a new villain, a shape-shifting sorcerer seeking the powers of the kung fu masters.

The first Kung Fu Panda was a pleasant surprise, and the sequels have been decent continuations of the one-joke story. This series manages to juggle the new characters picked up along the way, making it better than most for a fourth film.

The cast is good led by an always energetic Jack Black, with Bryan Cranston and James Hong showing a surprising amount of chemistry. However, Akwafina is a bit overexposed right now and wore on my nerves.

The animation continues to impress with slick anime-inspired action elements. And all the cuddly animal characters make it a good bet for families.

Still, the premise is a bit of a stretch this time around... and that’s saying something for a series based on a fat panda who learns kung fu. I’m not sure how many more of these the studio can milk out of the idea, but this one remains clever and fun.

KUNG FU PANDA 4 gets three dumplings out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
