My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Posted on by flivster

imageSince My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 came out today, I decided to write a review about the original film. My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the highest grossing Rom-Com of all time, is about a woman trying to get married to a non-Greek man and how her huge Greek family intervenes.

Nina Vardalos is the writer and actress who plays Toula in this classic film. The movie is hilarious. It is full of annoying family members, Windex, and caricatures of Greek guys. What more could you ask for? XD

This movie is hysterical! It is packed with things that you didn’t see coming, stereotypical gigantic Greek families, and much more. I would recommend this book to anyone in fifth grade and up (with the exception of one scene where I closed my eyes).

My Big Fat Greek Wedding gets a five star rating.

 

Gravity Falls

Posted on by flivster

image.jpegGravity Falls was a Disney cartoon about the Pines twins who are sent to live with their Grunkle Stan for the summer in the mysterious town of Gravity Falls. They uncover the secrets of the town while making great friends and powerful enemies. The show also had lots of very funny jokes and references. The creator, Alex Hirsch, hid codes throughout the series for fans to find. There were Gravity Falls theories everywhere! The last amazing episode was in February, and some of the theories proved to be true.

I love this series  for its humor, characters, and plot. There were very funny jokes and, yes, funny products in the show, such as Chipackers, The Chip Flavored Crackers. All the characters had their own personality from Soos to Wendy to Toby Determined. There were many plot twists and codes to help predict the plot twists throughout the series. Alex Hirsch and his crew thought it out very carefully, and if you look it up, they have many funny stories to tell. I give Gravity Falls a five star rating. I have nothing bad to say.

 

 

How to Survive Middle School

How to Survive Middle School is a hilarious story about a short Jewish boy’s (whose idol is Jon Stewart) struggle through middle school and dealing with new friends, old friends, girls, hamsters, and becoming internet famous. This book will make you laugh out loud and cry into your pillow all at the same time. Donna Gephart’s other book, As if Being 12 3/4 Isn’t Enough, My Mother Is Running For President, was good, but this is great!

I’m just going to say a plethora of things I like about the book, because I haven’t a clue where to start. This is a very funny book, and there are many things we can all relate to in here. The book pulls you in. I finished the book in one night. It was sooooo worth it! And once I finished it, I wanted to start read it again. This book gets a five star rating.

Good Mythical Morning is a YouTube channel that does things, (“So you don’t have to!”) such as eating the Carolina Reaper (the world’s hottest pepper), eating a pine bark ice cream sandwich, and a bowl of fish eyeball jello. As of February 25, 2016 they have exactly 9,385,861 subscribers. I give Good Mythical Morning a five star rating. If you want a good laugh every Monday – Friday, I suggest you watch Good Mythical Morning!

How It Should Have Ended™(HISHE)

I have to say, I am very critical about YouTube channels, but HISHE is one of my favorites. How It Should Have Ended videos are hilarious animated cartoons about how a movie should’ve ended (the name pretty much explains it). They are not offensive to the movie. HISHE also has a children’s channel called HISHE Kids. That channel makes videos called Fixed Fairy Tales, where they -um- fix fairy tales (again, the name explains it). The Fixed Fairy Tales are just as (or if not, even more) hilarious as the How It Should Have Ended. If you have not ever seen a HISHE video, I recommend that you see one. I give HISHE a five star rating, because not only do they have a hilarious adult channel, they also have an equally amazing channel for kids. Before you go, I have written a spoem (a sentence/acrostic poem whose first letters spell a word that the sentence is about) about HISHE.

The Lemoncello Series

“A library doesn’t need windows. We have books, which are windows into worlds we never dreamed possible.”

I can’t agree enough with this quote from the amazing Lemoncello series. When Kyle and his friends are selected to compete in the eccentric Mr. Lemoncello’s book-themed escape game, they face Charles Chiltington (who never loses). In the second amazing book by Chris Grabenstein, team Kyle is headed to the library again, and this time, with more competition. First of all, I have met the author (who is a wonderful person). His words inspired not only me but everyone else in the room. When I am writing a book review and I have met the author of that book, I will most definitely talk about my good or bad experience with the author, and that will influence my rating. Meeting Chris Grabenstein was a dream come true. Second, his books are a fun read, and when you start, you just can’t stop! The story sucks you in, like a portal with interesting stories. When I talked to Mr. Grabenstein, he said he replaced the people on the cover with silhouettes because it allows the reader to imagine. And this is one imaginative book! I recommend these great reads to children ages 9+. These are five star books!
