Thunderstruck

Description

Thunderstruck is a 2012 American family comedy film directed by John Whitesell. The film tells the story of a high school student named Brian who loves basketball but is not very good at it. One day, he meets his idol, professional basketball player Kevin Durant, and the two accidentally swap talents. As a result, Brian becomes an amazing basketball player, while Durant suddenly loses his skills.

The film's plot is inspired by the classic children's story The Prince and the Pauper, with Brian and Durant switching roles and learning valuable lessons about friendship and perseverance along the way. The film's humor is primarily aimed at younger audiences, with silly slapstick and sight gags dominating the comedy. However, the film also explores deeper themes of self-discovery and the importance of following one's dreams.

The performances in Thunderstruck are generally solid, with Kevin Durant making a charming and charismatic leading man. The supporting cast, which includes actors like Jim Belushi and Brandon T. Jackson, also provide comedic relief and help move the story along. While the film's humor may not be to everyone's taste, Thunderstruck is a heartwarming and feel-good family film that will entertain children and adults alike.

Previously known as Tyler Perry Presents Peeples, this movie represents best practice of the genre. The product of Tyler Perry's genius combined with fresh look of debuting director Tina Gordon Chism worth two hours of your attention for sure. It's not exactly Medea's-like comedy with Tyler Perry dressed as big and monstrous Afro-American woman, Peeples (2013) is more like Our Family Wedding filmed a year ago in 2012. It's funny, spontaneous, lively yet ironic. The action of Peeples revolves around the events at the reunion. A wealthy big family gathers in small town to enjoy each other company. The situation is heating up when Wade Walker, a young infamous "looser", decides to ask a hand of Peeples' lovely daughter Grace' at the pivotal point this rejoicing . This out of the blue surprise causes the effect of chain reaction, which ignites an extraordinary comic turmoil in Hamptons. Nevertheless, Wade Walker has to learn that there are different kinds of Peeples and even the "worst" of them could not be a serious obstacle for true love. Although, Peeples is a directorial debut of Tina Gordon Chism, who was previously known mostly as writer (ATL, Drumline), she managed to gather some brilliant cast: Kerry Washington (Olivia Pope from Scandal, Broomhilda von Schaft from Django Unchained) plays as Grace Peeples, while Craig Robinson (Hot Tub Time Machine, Eastbound & Down) plays as Wade Walker.
