Of holly woods atrocious movies these days.

I am a sucker for cinema but I’d rather spend 2-5k buying a pirated DVD than 12k on a movie that will make me want to belly up bad!
So anyway I was having a crappy Sunday and dear dear Carz lends me ‘l love you man,’ recommended by princess I think as ‘the most hilarious comedy of 2009’ (exaggeration there) so I figure…hm, why not go check it out.
So anyway Monday evening while whiling away the time between dinner getting ready and Ghost Whisperer, I decide to watch ‘l love you man,’
I am sorry carz for what next I am going to say…
But I thought it sucked.
okay some critcis had this to say
"Despite its continual profanity and sexual references, it isn't particularly offensive, just mostly forgettable. " i totally agree

and

"With a better script, this movie could have been REALLY funny, instead of moderately so. Paul Rudd definitely has a gift for comic acting. "

Short of choking over my dinner, kept pausing it to breathe and ask myself ‘why, I was torturing myself through this overly modified chick-to-guy movie-unfunny-totally predictable-romantic feel good- NOOOO! Feel horrible comedy-drama-slash whatever the producers, directors and etcs wanted to call it. ‘
People, maybe you should watch it for yourself but really! Really!
Anyway first of all, it aint funny.
Then its full of the ‘F’ word unnecessarily said; it even looked like a wet diseased rat eating caviar on a 90 yr old man that was prolly brought up proper back in the 30s and can’t let such words escape his mouth (they prolly thought it would be funny) well personally, I don’t think the use of those words makes one cool,.. my own sentiments really.
Anyway then the idea of a guy who cannot properly make male friends and needs his mom, his gay bro and even his wife and her buddies to help hook him up with guys is outrageous! I mean guys know how to hook up with other guys, don’t they? They are not set up for dinners, or coffees as if they are going out! Btw the guy I am talking about is NOT gay. He is as straight as they come and about to get married but finds he has no real male pals to make best man for his wedding so he is on a ‘best man friend’ hunt. Like a chic movie where a babe needs to find a date for some big prom or something…
So chic-like!
The plot thickens
His mom, his bro, everyone is on the phone about him like chics do for their fellow chicks
He goes on a couple of dates and decides they aint all that,
It is sickening to hear his galfriend say things like ‘why don’t you call him’
Like he is a chic for chrissake!
Anyway then we have a text book retelling of why chics hang together when his fiancee’s pals meet and he eaves drops on them like the rest of us watching and one of them is saying ‘I really like to hung with you girls coz you’re are my gals and I can just be myself ….something something and I am thinking duuuuhhhhh! Weak!
Forward to him meeting the guy who becomes bestman. Well I thought he held the movie together, his character was stable through the whole thing with exceptional scenes like the end at his buddy’s wedding where they had an ‘I love you,’ exchange moment with a thousand I love you’s said along with silly pet names they got for each other! Urgh!
Well rewind, when they meet it’s a so ‘girl-meets-boy sort of mode, to-be best friend strolls in somewhere and they start to talk, exchange numbers. Soon-to–be-married Guy at office next day keeps toying with the idea of calling back new amigo till he does finally leading to a series of dates,( even shopping) and guy-getting-married acts like some lovestruck chic who can’t express herself properly before new-found (boyfriend) best friend, all the time talking a load of gibberish, anyway then, they have that moment I was waiting to happen to prove his love (or his love) for his friend…like in all chic movies where girl finds out boy was just on a dare to get her or something lame…they have a fight and man-getting-married tells his newfound buddy to back off, thinks the friendship aint working out for any good (he even tells his gal friend ,’we were not working out,’ how sick is that?)
And they be missing each other, ditched friend walks alone tries to call up buddies to hang but he sure misses his getting-married-buddy, same to guy getting married..he is trying to get into the whole wedding preps thing but misses new found friend… anyway like I said it sucked for me.
Now according to movie directors these days, such scripts like ‘I pronounce you Chuck and larry’, ‘I love you man’ are supposed to be ‘gay-friendly’ sorta movies…’sensitization flicks’ to get people to accept gays through accepting that guys are not all macho they also have emotions…heck yeah but not like chics. I could have borne the excruciating cliché 90 or so minutes of a mundane typical chic flick version to this sorry idea of a macho ice-breaker.
Carz, I hope we can still go watch Pablo this Friday.
Not to mention I am raving mad at rotten tomatoes and the guys that did the adaptation of Khaleed Houseini’s The Kite Runner…what were they doing? Houseini should have sued them for messing his book. Firstly,the bond between the two friends is so not there, the movie was shoddily done with the gist all lost, they just skimmed right through it. Generally I think rotten tomatoes critics were dishing out accolades for the book not the movie. To go to others like ‘he’s just not that into you...’ is for another day.
