I have nothing intelligent to add - I just wanted to share that my ridiculous crush on Kal Penn made me DVR not only Van Wilder (which also has Ryan Reynolds, om nom nom nom), but Van Wilder 2: The Rise Of Taj. The first one is cute, the 2nd one, meh. Plus, Penn's accent suffers from major slippage.
No, shame, juliana. I watched them both at my sister's this weekend. I like KP. Plus, Ryan Reynolds: His arms make me wibble.
Anyone have the word on G-Force? I feel like I'm going to have to go into that one blind. Owen's dying to see it and he wants a guinea pig.
That talks.
She (Sandra Bullock) has fantastic comedic timing. It's dead on.
Other than one genius line delivery ("what kind of beer?") Kate Hudson's entire career has bored me to tears. With Bullock, there's a sharpness to her; Hudson is like a foamy boring marshmallow.
I think I have seen that? I probably liked it.
There is an extended bit in the middle in which Sandra Bullock ate too much burrito and needs to poo, except their car is stuck in a congested highway. The whole movie is just classy like that. (Haha, how far have we suddenly fallen from the talks of Renoir and Truffaut.) I still love it though. It doesn't help that the other half of the couple is played by Hugh Grant, whom I continue to find reluctantly charming even though he only has one shtick up in his sleeves and is in real life probably an elitist classist layabout without a god-given sense to keep his shortcomings in his pants in a public park.
I remember one day we went to the dollar theatres and saw
Bringing Down the House
followed by
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
I thought the former would suck and the latter would be enjoyable, but it was actually the other way around.
How could you possibly think you'd enjoy a Kate Hudson vehicle over The Queen and The Jerk??!! Blasphemy!
But at least he knows he is, which somehow helps, although I'm not sure why.
Bullock has had some hits and misses with me although I did like that one and "28 Days", in which Dominic West, well, plays the guy he usually does, without the whole "decent guy in there *somewhere*" thing, but with the voice he was born with.ETA: And I'm twisted enough to be amused by the thought of a Rehab Romcom, anyway.
The whole movie is just classy like that. (Haha, how far have we suddenly fallen from the talks of Renoir and Truffaut.)
I would like to say for the record that I love Renoir. And Truffaut. And, yet, also?
Year of the Comet.
That's right I said it.
That movie appears to be about a balls-out hunt for...a bottle of wine?
You got a problem with that?
I do, but I don't drink wine.
