Oh Bill and Cary...

Meatballs(dir. Ivan Reitman)
Sure, it's not a comedic masterpiece, but there's something amusing about Bill Murray hanging out with a bunch of 20 something year olds and being the coolest one in the group. Some of the jokes are lame and the film is fairly dated and cheesy especially it's painful story about the shy kid that Bill's character befriends. Bill Murray is the only reason to watch this especially when he goes nuts in a speech about how beating another camp doesn't matter.
**1/2 out of ****
To Catch a Thief(dir. Alfred Hitchcock)
This was pretty entertaining. It's not as good as some of his other films, but Cary Grant and Grace Kelly make it entertaining enough. The story isn't all that great and there's a serious lack of suspense, but sub-par Hitchcock is still good.
