"Even though I occasionally admired the film's hallucinogenic grandeur and bold scope, the majority of Bad Boys II feels like a bad trip."
"Bad Boys II struggles with striking a balance between the rib-tickling humor and gut-wrenching gore, the hah and ick mixing like oil and vinegar."

Analysing A Tv Ad (Fairy liquid)

I have chosen to analyse the fairy liquid ad. first of all, the ad starts with a very simple, black and white which suggests that the product is old but still lives on as the ad moves into the future with improvements of the product look changing throughout but everything else staying the same, especially the promise of getting the same result even though its moving in to different generations, this relates back to the originality of the product and the promise of what it does has stayed the same through all the years.

"best selling brand" the lady says this in order to get across a very strong message to the people who know this brand as its been around for a very long time.  and "trust fairy, cleaning power" this is written in capital as a slogan for the audience to remeber the product by as it is set very simple but obvious to the audience.

Overall, Personally i believe that this ad is aimed at a very specific target audience and because of the lady in the advert with a small girl, this suggests that women who live at home or are house wifes are best to benefit from this product. 

Homework: Analyse print ad

Above is a print advert of Head&Shoulders (2in1). Personally i think this ad is very specific on its target audience, the use of colour suggest this, ( light colours including; pink and light blue). This therefore plays a big part in selling the shampoo. In all the ads for this shampoo, there is always a slogan to relate to a specific audience.
In this ad we can see that the shampoo is mostly aimed at females as the "SILK" and "SHINY" suggests this, being in blue and pink font makes it stand out. This is a prime example of product aimed to sell to female audiences as they have used a slogan to represent their product, "A TRUE ANGEL FOR SILK & SHINY HAIRS", this instantly has a huge affect on who this may be sold to. These specifications help to sell this product as they have used simple but femnine wordings such as the title (angel in town), this gives us an idea  that if this shampoo is useed, it can make you feel so good and pure that once used you'll feel like an angel.

They have the main product in the middle of the ad which can grab peoples attentions very easily as they have made it unusual by using hair as the wings of an angel, this can therefore be eye catching for people going past as it is something different, and can be easily remebered which makes the product more popular.

 It is as if they are saying that you hair can be part of an angel if you use their product. The typography is carefully designed so that it doesn't take much attention away from the product as the font colour is very similar to the background colour used.

Taking everything all this ad has presented in consideration, i think that this product is mostly aimed at females, whom are interested in having silky and shiny hair, any age between 15-45. Furthermore,I do belive that men can also relate to this but as head&shoulders specifies its audience for e.g, when they mention (for men) but i also think it may be good to have a product all couples can both benefit from.
