Minyeo-neun goerowo (2006)
Fantastic movie, period...
I will admit that I have not seen many Korean romantic comedies, so I can't say definitively how it compares to others. But I have definitely seen my fair share of U.S. romantic comedies. Frankly, the genre has become so clichéd, it's nearly impossible to find any decent new romantic comedies.
When I chose to watch "200 Pounds Beauty," I expected more of the same formulaic plot twists, etc. Yet I was pleasantly surprised at how beautifully produced this movie was. The actors did a superb job. My only contention is that there were several unexplained plot contents. I won't spoil it for any potential viewers, so I'll leave you to figure those out for yourselves.
Bottom line: if you want to watch a cute, funny and well done romantic comedy, then this is your movie. But make sure you have some Kleenex on hand! There are a few tugging-at-the-heart strings scenes.
Madea's Family Reunion (2006)
Great family film.
Generally, I wouldn't bother writing a review for any movie that I've seen but I'm personally insulted that Perry's latest has received such a low rating on this site. While some parts are indeed overacted and a bit over the top, the performances were still noteworthy. But most importantly, this movie had a message and did a fantastic job of conveying it.
There needs to be more honest evaluations of both good and bad movies on this site. While I know my opinion differs greatly from others, this is the same site that gave Orlando Bloom's last blunder, Elizabethtown, a higher rating than good, family-oriented films such as this. After seeing gross disparities such as these, I can't help but throw my two cents in.
