Movies starring Luke Wilson

Rushmore (1998)

93 mins     Comedy, Drama      

As of writing Wes Anderson's Rushmore has a score of 7.7 on imdb and 87% on Rotten Tomatoes, that's not a bad score. The trouble is that I disagree I don't think it's nearly anywhere near as good as these scores suggest, but ...

Blue Streak (1999)

93 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

What is your opinion of Martin Lawrence? My opinion is that he has always been in the shadow of Eddie Murphy, doing movies which have unfortunately caused comparison. That is the case of "Blue Streak" because whilst it has an...

My Dog Skip (2000)

95 mins     Drama, Family      

"Never judge a movie by the poster" is an adage which I have come to learn because if I had I would have missed out on the charming tale which is "My Dog Skip" a movie which on first glances appears like it's a children's mov...

Charlie's Angels (2000)

98 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy, Crime, Thriller      

Although I was too young to be interested in the original "Charlie's Angels" TV show when aired back in the 70s, by the 80s and with teenage hormones rampaging well I most certainly enjoyed the re-runs. Between the various An...

Legally Blonde (2001)

96 mins     Comedy, Romance      

Right from the initial scenes "Legally Blonde" sets up the perfect, pink world of Elle and the overly girlieness of it is very funny. But the real comedy starts when she sets herself the task of getting into Harvard, with the...

Old School (2003)

88 mins     Comedy      

"Old School" is not funny and it's juvenile. Okay I lied; it is funny and quite enjoyable, in places. It focuses on 3 adults who set about regaining their youth by setting up an outlandish fraternity and their battle against ...

Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003)

95 mins     Comedy      

Whilst "Legally Blonde" was sort of amusing in a pink and fluffy way it was by no means a movie which would you expect to churn out a sequel, but it made money and so in 2003 we got another dose of Reese Witherspoon as Elle W...

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)

106 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy      

I described the first "Charlie's Angels" movie as a mixed bag which you could enjoy one day and dislike the next and I will say the same about the sequel "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle". The reason being is that the sequel ...

Around the World in 80 Days (2004)

120 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy      

For those wanting an exciting adaptation of Jules Verne's story "Around the World in 80 Days" clear off because this isn't it. Nope this is Disney taking the basic storyline and turning it into an amusing adventure for young ...

The Family Stone (2005)

103 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

The Family Stone: Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Meredith who is meeting her boyfriend's parents at a Christmas family get together only to turn out to be unpopular...

My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006)

95 mins     Comedy, Crime, Drama      

Breaking up with a girlfriend is never easy especially when they take it badly. But how bad could it be if the woman you break up with has super powers? That is what "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" is all about, a comedy about a poo...

Idiocracy (2006)

84 mins     Comedy      

So wrong but yet so right, "Idiocracy" is like "Weekend at Bernie's" it's not a good movie but it is a guilty pleasure making you laugh with moronic humour which at a certain age you should have grown out of. Yes I liked "Idi...

Hoot (2006)

91 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Family      

"Hoot" is both a harmless and a good hearted movie with its tale of nature preservation as we have Roy and his friends trying to save the homes of some burrowing owls. But whilst it has a good heart "Hoot" is one of the dulle...

Vacancy (2007)

85 mins     Horror, Thriller      

"Vacancy" looks like your typical teen slasher horror as we have a couple ending up stranded in the middle of nowhere heading to a creepy motel and in doing so tipping it's hat to Hitchcock's "Psycho". But then "Vacancy" is n...

Henry Poole Is Here (2008)

99 mins     Comedy, Drama      

The most interesting thing about "Henry Poole Is Here" is sadly not the movie itself but seeking out the wide variety of opinions from others. You have some who praise this movies examination of faith, belief and embracing li...

Middle Men (2009)

105 mins     Comedy, Crime, Drama      

Middle Men (2009) Luke Wilson stars as Jack Harris who ended up involved in running an online porn business whilst also dealing with slippery lawyers, porn stars as well as the Russian Mafia...

Death at a Funeral (2010)

92 mins     Comedy      

I don't remember when "Death at a Funeral" was announced but I bet it caused some moaning because why would anyone feel it necessary to remake not only a movie from 2007, just three years earlier, but a British movie at that....

Meadowland (2015)

105 mins     Drama      

Movie Review - Meadowland (2015) Sarah (Olivia Wilde) and Philip (Luke Wilson) find themselves dealing with the unthinkable, the disappearance of their son. But whilst Philip tries to keep going Sarah becomes numb to the worl...
