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.

The super-smart but tragically nerdy kids go to Harvard; the wise-ass geniuses go to Yale. Natalie Portman went to Yale. Therefore, no one should feel at all surprised that Portman can follow a brilliant and breathtaking performance in Black Swan with a charming and lighthearted romp through No Strings Attached. The bitter and brutal ballet movie showed critics and audiences just how smart, sensitive, and psychotic Portman can become when a role demands manic intensity. One critic commented, "She always has been good, but now we know the woman actually can act—except she is so good we forget she is acting." No Strings Attached proves Portman's range, and it satisfies her concern that Hollywood produces far too few "vulgar" comedies for women by women and starring women."No Strings Attached gained director Ivan Reitman's attention when it qualified for the 2009 "Hollywood Blacklist," a studio executive's annual collection of the best scripts that have failed to make the cut at every major studio. The writers pitched No Strings Attached in a single sentence: "A guy and a girl struggle to have an exclusively sexual relationship as they both come to realize they want much more." Although the plot seems painfully thin, irony, sentiment, and humor alloy the script. Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher punctuate and pixelate the post-modern era's answer to Doris Day and Rock Hudson, delivering a sweetly satisfying Valentine's Day confection. Apparently, at Yale, students learn never to take themselves or their obvious brilliance too seriously.
