Dinner for Shmucks (2010)

I am pretty disappointed with this film. The actual dinner scene lasts only about 20 minutes of the 2hrs you'll spend watching it and the too many other scenes have little development. The only two good things about this movie in my opinion are: it never gets boring and paul rudd's acting.

The Punisher (2004). About a cop who goes undercover and during a underground takedown some big crime lord's (Howard Saint) son dies. The crime lord goes and kills The Punisher's family, the Punisher seeks revenge. How cliche? In fact I feel sorry for Howard Saint, his son was murdered and he goes and seeks revenge. When The Punisher does it he's portrayed as being heroic.

The Punisher even fucks around with Howard Saint's business and then wonders why people are after him.

Is the Punisher super human or something? He clearly got shot about 7 times throughout the film and all he does is limps a bit, gets up and starts running.

Acting was a joke - 4/10

Although The Punisher is very much intended to be an anti-hero , the established,discernible difference between his and Howard Saint's need for revenge( and therefore presumably the audience's directed sympathy) is that in the case of Saint's sons death it was an accident and even then not at the hand of Frank Castle . Saint on the other hand , encouraged by his wife, purposely set out to slaughter all of Castle's family.
As for initially being shot I think the mysterious Black guy is suppose to be a shaman or something.:unsure:
Anyway ,for me another big problem with the movie is that as an actor , Thomas Jane just isn't appealing or charismatic enough to want you to cheer for him.
There have been far less sympathetic central characters( even truly evil ones with as little plot as here to support them) in film that you end up rooting for.
All in all a 4 would be about right except for the fact that Travolta dies in which case I give it a 9 .
If he was killed sooner it would be a solid 10.

Btw I recently tried to watch From Paris with Love but couldn't make it halfway through the second act.
I hope they didn't decide to stick a story in at the end and I missed it.
