Click Here To Watch Paradise (2013)

Lamb Mannerheims faith is shaken after a plane crash burns two-thirds of her body and she shocks her small-town congregation when she publicly renounces God. As she sets out to experience the worldly pleasures of Las Vegas she meets a bartender and a cynical lounge singer who help her check off as many dirty deeds as possible from her Napkin of Sin bucket list.

Review

"Let the sin begin." Lamb Mannerheim (Hough) is a young woman who is very religious and has everything going for her. After a plane crash leaves her scarred on 75% of her body she begins to question everything. One day she can't take it anymore and refutes the existence of God in front of her church. She then sets off to find her own way and have her own experiences and what better place to do that then Las Vegas where she meets an angry lounge singer and a friendly bartender (Brand). Before watching this one I did something I don't normally do I watched the trailer for it. The trailer made me laugh and I was looking forward to it even though I'm not a Russell Brand fan. This movie is an example of why I don't watch trailers. While I did like the movie and I am glad I watched it it wasn't really what I would call a laughoutloud comedy. This is from the writer of Juno and the comedy is more that style. This is almost a bipolar movie. One minute you are laughing and smiling the next you are crying and depressed. This is good but be prepared for that. Overall a good movie that is worth watching but be prepared for the roller coaster. I give it a B.
