Recently, our buddies at Brobible.com constructed a pretty impressive list of the ‘Top 350+ Must-Have Movies for Every Man Cave.’  Between watching over 350 movies and bumping chests, where did they find the time to create such a list?

But that’s neither here nor there. The real issue with this list is that, after intensely reviewing it (and wasting a good hour of my day that could have been spent shaving my legs…which really need it), it seems that a lot of “dude movies” that bros hold near and dear to their mustachioed hearts are really just chick flicks in disguise!

Yes, behind all the fart jokes, drug trafficking, and occasional airborne Porsches, these flicks are basically muscled up girl movies. Read More »

This weekend I drove home in my Ford; backseat packed to the brim with my college belongings, heart full of nostalgia from graduating college.  And the first things I do upon arriving country side?  Have a bowl of cereal, feed the milk to my cat and buy a Maxim at the local grocery store (priorities). Lucky for the entire population of American men, June marks the ideal month for the steamiest Maxim issue of the year: Maxim’s Hot 100.

Which also means the entire issue was sealed securely in a package so you can’t even look inside until you buy it. Naturally, I ripped that bad boy open immediately upon arriving home, grabbed a Pop Tart from my parents’ cupboard and got reading. Of course the most beautiful women on the planet (e.g. Blake Lively, Bar Refaeli, Eva Mendes, Marisa Miller, Katy Perry and many, many more) were sprawled out inside.  I looked at my Pop Tart in agony and kept reading. For reasons unknown to the minds behind the list, Stephanie Pratt was also included. Maybe they felt bad about her blood relation to abominable snowman Spencer Pratt and his crystal fetish.

Other articles in the June issue included ’3 Rules for the Perfect Haircut’ which matched the man’s face shape with the perfect cut. Kinda cute. Another article featured a ‘how to’ on cooking a gourmet meal with what you have lying around in your body. I’m not kidding; it included ‘Hot Foaming Pee’ as the drink of choice. It’s OK, I’m a bit freaked out and don’t get it either.

Finally, my favorite article found its place in my heart called ‘You May Kiss the Bridesmaid.’  It is what it sounds like, folks: a guide to pull a Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson from Wedding Crashers.  The article features what to say when picking up chicks at a wedding. Rule #1: Never leave a fellow crasher behind.  I could giggle at Wedding Crashers quotes all day long but let’s look at what Maxim had to say: Read More »

I never thought I would say this, but I am completely over and tired of super hot guys.

Yeah, that’s right, I said it. I am over them.

Okay, so I’ll always have a weakness for super hot abs (I’m looking at you, RPatz), but I would much rather spend my time with the new class of men out there. I call them the Hunky Beefy Boys and they are redefining what it means for men to be sexy. And I like it.

Thanks to the new comedians out there in Hollywood, charming is in and hot is out. Comedians like Jason Segel, Vince Vaughn, Seth Rogen, and Will Ferrell are now considered Hollywood’s sexiest. Whereas women wouldn’t give guys like them a fighting chance before, these guys are now making the girls swoon.

So maybe they don’t have washboard stomachs or chiseled cheek bones but they have charm, wit, and a sense of humor that make them completely irresistible. And they are all perfectly hunky beefy: tall with a little more cushion for the pushin’, but still fit and mouth-watering.

Traditional hotties of the past like George Clooney, Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt are still sexy, obvs, but they are starting to fall by the wayside for these new guys who have something more than an Abercrombie smile.

So what is it exactly that has us melting like a pat of butter into their husky hands? Read More »

[There are some women out there that we just can’t get out of our minds. No, we aren’t switching teams - yet - but we do have some serious crushes on some pretty fierce females. These ladies are all special in their own right and we aren’t ashamed to tell the world we love them.]

It’s no secret that I have a soft spot for Aussies, and the lovely Isla Fisher is no exception. Even if she’s a lady.

While the Australian accent is always a turn-on, what really gets me weak in the knees is someone who can make me laugh…and matzoh ball soup.

Isla, then, is perfect for me. The woman has to have a sense of humor – she’s engaged to Sacha Baron Cohen, after all.  And, after three years, she has successfully pulled a “Charlotte” and converted to Judaism for her man.

Oy vay.

But Isla was around long before she started celebrating Hanukkah with her guy. She was a child actor on popular Australian television shows way before she graced us with her presence alongside Freddie Prinze Jr. in Scooby Doo.  Since then, she’s come a long way. Her role as the crazy sex fiend sister in Wedding Crashers won her a Breakthrough Performance award at the MTV Movie Awards and, more recently, she was in Definitely, Maybe and lent her voice to Horton Hears a Who.

A hot Australian who also does cartoons? Be still my heart.

Isla Fisher is as hot as her fiery red hair.  In 2008 she was #61 on Maxim’s Hot 100. And despite being near naked in that little photo spread, the woman’s fashion sense is what gets me riled up.  I’m jealous of all the fashion-forward outfits created for her character in Confessions of a Shopaholic, not that I could afford them. But what I can afford is Isla’s laid back style that’s easy to  imitate (even on a starving student’s budget). Now if only I could get my hair that color…

Isla is living proof that you can have it all.  She has a successful career, a fiance who she obviously hearts (she spent 3 years converting for him!), and an adorable daughter – not to mention she looks stunning while doing it all. I’m totally crushing on Isla Fisher.

(We’re back with another weekly installment of G.W.W.E. [Guys We Wanna Eff]. How is it that we have NOT featured my favorite fraternal hottie, Owen Wilson? That’s almost a crime against humanity. Or at least, a crime against CollegeCandy readers who want to eff Big O.)

I’m gonna say it: I’m a big sap. Especially when it comes to puppies. There’s something about big, soulful puppy eyes that makes me squeal like a four-year-old. And all that cuddly fur. And those widdle, widdle paws…

But what’s cuter than puppies? Guys who love puppies. A dude who’s totally into playing around with man’s best friend is always effable in my book, cuz you know what? Chances are he’ll be equally as affectionate when he’s rubbing your belly and scratching your back. Prime example: Owen Wilson. His new film Marley and Me opens Christmas Day, and you can bet your (rawhide) bones my butt will be in attendance to see him (and his pup) shake their tails.

It’s not like I needed a cutesy dog movie to want to eff Owen Wilson, though. He has been very high on my radar ever since he appeared in The Royal Tenenbaums, which he co-wrote! (Since he’s a writer, and I’m a writer, clearly we are soulmates. Clearly.) As an actor, he’s been able to master all different varieties of comedy, from the subtlety he expressed in The Royal Tenenbaums to the full-on goofiness of Wedding Crashers. Emotional range is so effable.

Oh, and lets not forget that Owen’s sexiness definitely runs in the family. Score with him and you could count among your buddies his brothers Luke and Andrew, too. Mr. Wilson has been romantically linked to Kate Hudson and, most recently, Jennifer Aniston. I take it he likes blondes. Okay, O, if you ever want to jump ship and get to know eff a brunette, please call me!

Until then, I’ll settle for some effable photos and my vivid fantasies.

(We’re back with another weekly installment of G.W.W.E [Guys We Want to Eff]. This week, we’re honing in on Frat Pack hottie, Vince Vaughn. Not only is he smokin’, but he knows how to party… and will still laugh at fart jokes. What more could a college gal ask for? )

Call me crazy, but I’m bored with college guys. It’s just that they’re…guys. I want to have fun, but is it so much to want to party with a real man? Is there anyone out there who can be mature when he needs to be, but still laugh at my potty humor? I used to think I’d never get my wish, but then Vince Vaughn came into my life.

Let’s think back for a moment to Wedding Crashers. I remember seeing that movie for the first time and thinking, “Where’d Vince Vaughn come from? Hellooooo hottie!” He dropped in on my fantasies as quickly and suavely as he did the Cleary wedding. He was sublimely clever in devising wedding crashing rules, and was equally as impressive with his devotion to the cause. Major bonus points (or shall I say, effability points?) for fidelity.

Vaughn emerged as a major comedic force among the likes of Will Ferrell, the Wilson brothers, and Steve Carell, particularly in the earlier release, Old School. Since then, he’s shown his multi-faceted (yet always effable) dating persona in The Break-Up with Jennifer Aniston, whom he subsequently dated. Their relationship was major tabloid fodder while it lasted, but now he’s been linked to Ugly Betty star, Vanessa Williams.

Never fear! Though he may appear to be off the market, Vince’s effable self will still be featured prominently in the new comedy Four Christmases with Reese Witherspoon. After watching that trailer, I know I’ll be asking Santa for a chance to eff Vince this holiday season!

Men have always ruled the comedy scene. From dynamic duos such as Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello and Jay and Silent Bob to teams such as the Happy Madison boys (Adam Sandler, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Peter Dante, Allen Covert and Nick Swardson) and the Frat Pack (Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Owen and Luke Wilson and Steve Carrell).

There are virtually no female comedic ensembles who can sell movies like these guys can.

In the stand-up circuit, men generally receive the biggest reception. Recently, I went to a stand-up comedy review that featured twenty comics in one night. Of those twenty, only three women took the stage. Three. WTF?

Women are pretty damn funny, so why don’t we get the same appraisal as men get? Films like Old School put the Frat Pack on the map, while the hysterical chick flick The Sweetest Thing flopped at the box office. The Wedding Crashers cast has people rolling in the aisles, while far too many people have never seen Christina Applegate, Cameron Diaz, and Selma Blair sing The Penis Song.

I took this assignment to cover the 5 Funniest Women out there, but quickly realized there is just too much talent to narrow it down so far. That said, what follows is my personal list of five of the wittiest women in the world, along with some honorable mentions. I welcome feedback, comments, and nominations, because I’m sure I’ve missed some ladies that can more than keep up with the boys. Read More »

Hollywood is filled with some of the best looking men we’ve ever seen. But, it’s one thing to be good looking and quite another to have the ability to make an audience laugh. Having the whole package – even in Hollywood – seems like a rarity. While Will Ferrell can make me go into a fit of laughter like no other, as soon as that shirt comes off, (which it seems to do, in every movie) the whole attraction factor goes bye bye. Here are some guys who can make me laugh and break a sweat looking at them:

1. Ryan Reynolds. Now, besides the fact that he is off the market (engaged to Scarlet Jo!), this man is seriously adorable – and funny. Did you not see his abs in the hilarious movie Waiting? Or perhaps catch a glimpse of that killer smile?

2. Dane Cook. Not only is his stand up hilarious, but he’s got that dreamy guy-next-door-you’d-like-to-pounce-on look. Girls dig it. Guys dig it. I sure as heck do.

Like most people, I saw Blades of Glory over the weekend. For those of you who haven’t, I suggest you do for a good laugh.

While it’s not quite as solid as recent college favorites, like Anchorman, Old School, and Wedding Crashers, this movie will have you cracking up and asking, “what the f$#&?” after everything Will Ferrell’s character, Chazz Michael Michaels, says. Most of the time, he makes no sense – but that’s what makes him the funniest character in the movie.

Jon Heder plays the straight man in Jimmy MacElroy, and does a pretty good job. Every so often, Napoleon shines through and leaves you wanting a good, “Tina, eat your ham.” But alas, there is no Tina, and there is no ham. There is only a funny blonde haircut and some sweet reactions to Ferrell’s comments.

The hidden gem in “Blades,” for me, is Nick Swardson. He plays Hector, MacElroy’s crazy-stalker-fan who wears amazing one-piece ski suits from the ’80′s. I love this guy. He’s funny in everything, especially Grandma’s Boy. Another college favorite that slipped under the radar in the box office, it recently became popular to stoners, frat boys and partiers alike, as a rental. Watch it!

So, if you’re looking for a fun date movie or wanna catch a flick with the girls, go see Blades of Glory. Then, when your friends tell you they wanna “get inside your face” or say, “You’re welcome, Stolkholm,” you’ll appreciate the references.
