There were a couple of funny moment. But, don't bother. Just stay away.
I did not begin watching this movie with honourable intentions. While my primary goal was satisfied reasonably early, I did end up watching the rest of the film. The Sessions had many of the qualities required to become this decade's My Left Foot or Le scaphandre et le papillon. However, there really wasn't enough conflict in the script for this to happen. Helen Hunt was quite brilliant. However, the rest of the cast, while competent, did not really hit the upper percentiles.
With a rather dull storyline which had its moments, Magic Mike is not really going to be remembered for much besides Matthew McConaughey who was surprisingly good. However, the rest of the cast was pretty average, especially one of the central characters named Adam who was ridiculously high-school. Cody Horn who plays this character's sister reminds me of Julia Stiles.
I just finished watching Como Agua Para Chocolate, a Spanish (Mexican) movie which is apparently pretty famous. It was a pretty funny romance, a little weird with some one-hundred-years-of-solitude-esque fantasy elements liberally sprinkled all over. I've been watching a number of Spanish movies off late and have found that a vast majority of them involve copious doses of nudity.
