Movies starring Paul Rudd

Moment of Truth: Stalking Back (1993)

96 mins Crime, Drama, TV Movie

Moment of Truth: Stalking Back - true story movie about a teenager who was stalked by an obsessed twenty something who ended up terrorizing the family...

Clueless (1995)

97 mins Comedy, Romance

Regular readers of my movie reviews will know I am not the biggest book worm and when I do read it tends not to be classic literature, so you can guess what is coming, I've never read Jane Austen's "Emma" the story which writ...

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)

88 mins Horror, Thriller

So in "Halloween V" we had the introduction of the mysterious man in black which basically signalled a sequel was going to come and it did 6 years later with "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers". Now to be honest by this s...

Romeo + Juliet (1996)

120 mins Drama, Romance

So for those who haven't watched Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet" it is an interesting idea, set in a more modern, flamboyant world but keep the original dialogue. And as I said for the first twenty minutes it had me with this ove...

The Object of My Affection (1998)

111 mins Comedy, Drama, Romance

It's not often that a movie leaves me flummoxed but "The Object of My Affection" has certainly done that. It is not that I didn't enjoy it, the combination of Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd make a good "odd couple" and the st...

The Cider House Rules (1999)

126 mins Drama, Romance

"The Cider House Rules" is a very pleasant film, which is full of sentiment and beautiful scenes, but is not over sickly sweet. From what I have read, this is an adaptation of the novel by John Irving, and like so many other ...

The Great Gatsby (2000)

60 mins Drama, Romance, TV Movie

As mentioned in my review of the 1974 movie adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" I have never read F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, it was not part of the British education system unlike that of America where it appears every student...

Anchorman - The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

90 mins Comedy

Will Ferrell is one of the guys who's style of comedy is either going to make you love him or loathe him. For me I fall into the latter group and can count the number of Will Ferrell movies which I really enjoy on just one ha...

The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)

116 mins Comedy, Romance

To be honest, when "The 40 Year Old Virgin" first came out, I was not overly interested as I had never heard of Steve Carell, the star, and thought it would be just another juvenile gross out comedy. But after reading numerou...

I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007)

97 mins Comedy, Drama, Romance

It's quite surprising that "I Could Never Be Your Woman" ended up as a straight to DVD movie rather than getting the theatrical release it deserves. With a pedigree which includes director Amy Heckerling and starring Michelle...

Knocked Up (2007)

133 mins Comedy, Romance

After watching Judd Apatow's "The 40 Year Old Virgin" and seeing the trailer for "Knocked Up" I was expecting another hilarious comedy which would push the boundaries of taste whilst also delivering a meaningful message. I ce...

Role Models (2008)

99 mins Comedy

Movie review "Role Models" � Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott star as two friends who find themselves having to do community service at Sturdy Wings where they have to be buddies with the geeky Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plass...

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

111 mins Comedy

Here is the thing, Judd Apatow has certainly breathed life into the romantic comedy genre, he's made them edgy and funny, not afraid of making a sex comedy which is risque. And as such I absolutely love what he did with the "...

Over Her Dead Body (2008)

95 mins Comedy, Fantasy, Romance

In the world of cinema "Over Her Dead Body" is as ordinary as they come, a 100% typical romantic comedy which whilst not bad is neither good. That is not a criticism because it means that it is on par with many modern romanti...

I Love You, Man (2009)

105 mins Comedy, Romance

As a concept I like "I Love You, Man", take your stereotypical romantic comedy elements and place them in a set up of two male friends. It's not exactly clever but a lot of fun as we watch Peter and Sidney become best mates d...

Monsters vs. Aliens (2009)

94 mins Action , Adventure , Animation

Does "Monsters vs. Aliens" work as an animation? Yes it is entertainment for children which kind of has something to offer grown ups that end up having to watch this with their children. But does "Monsters vs. Aliens" stand o...

Dinner for Schmucks (2010)

114 mins Comedy

Like many the thing which attracted me to "Dinner for Schmucks" was that it stars Steve Carell and Paul Rudd as they have been in some seriously funny movies, unfortunately this is not one of them. Now I have never seen the F...

How Do You Know (2010)

121 mins Comedy, Drama, Romance

Movie Review - How Do You Know (2010) Reese Witherspoon stars asd Lisa who finds herself in the middle of a life change as on one hand she is seeing the laid back Matty (Owen Wilson) but then meets the more sensible George (P...

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

102 mins Drama, Romance

Everyone's experience of High School, or secondary school as it is called here in the UK, is different and it is because of that not all High School movies work for everyone. That brings me to "The Perks of Being a Wallflower...

Wanderlust (2012)

98 mins Comedy

Either I am getting old or what some people think is funny is a long way off from what I think is funny because I just didn't get "Wanderlust". Actually to correct that I got what "Wanderlust" was about I didn't get the jokes...
