Just Friends (R)
Sigh. Thank gawd for Flushed Away because otherwise my movie week sucked.
A good friend told me Just Friends (Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart; fat kid with crush on best [girl]friend gets thin ten years after a humilating high school experience and gets her back [No, I didn't give anything away. Duh. Of course he gets her back.] with the usual bumbling idiocy along the way) was All Laughs All The Time and I desperately needed All Laughs All The Time after six days spent mostly on or near the toilet. There were a few laughs early on but then it quickly took a sharp right turn into stupid -- and not stupid-funny but stupid-didn't-crack-a-smile-past-the-20-minute-mark.
1 fat suit out of 5.

I posted on this before and please do not tell me I was the friend telling you about the slap stick humor. It was on On Demand and I was bored so I watched and wasted my time. I think I commented that his little brother stole the scenes and that Ryan Reynolds was looking hot. -A
Sunday Oct 29th post. I tried to warn you!!!! -A
Dang! I can't believe I forgot that. THAT'S why we have the blog in the first place -- to avoid our girlfriends' movie missteps.
I take it back about Ryan Reynolds being kinda hot. I said that after seeing a picture of him shirtless and was surprised he wasn't an 80-pound weakling under there. This movie, however, was set at Christmas time so there was no opportunity for chest gazing. Besides, all I can think when I see him is, "Dude's engaged to Alanis Morrisette!" And Dusty Dinklebottom or whatever his name? All I can think is, "Dude, his ex-fiancee just married Tom Cruise."
The friend who recommended it, by the way, was Courtney. God, I hate her!! (Not really. I'm just trying to stave off the "don't leave me!" tears since Friday is her last day working with me.)
I can't believe we spent $4 on this. And since we're famous for late fees it'll probably be $8.
