The Heartbreak Kid Sucked

Monday, February 16, 2009



Yeah, a big ole suck fest. I can sum it up in a mere few sentences:

OMG antics! Ben Stiller is doin' antics! I love antics. With the funny faces and the arm flailing, you know? Let's all go to Ben Stiller's latest movie where he does another round of those ANTICS!

Hee hee, bachelors with relationship issues are funny.

You can hear Jerry Stiller thinking, "Must. Put new spin. On. My. Only Role."

Malin Akerman continues to prove that she'll do anything *anything* anything to get the part. Itty Bitty Titty Committee upper waist shots abound.

Donkey shows: rarely funny. Upping the ante by showing a mounting donkey with a boner: desperate and not funny at all. Pretending the lead female has had sex with a donkey: so desperate, I can see those wavy lines emanating like the mirage of water on a hot summer day. Even the donkey was rolling his eyes at that shit.

Conclusion: few laughs. Ben Stiller plays the same old hapless neurotic who is difficult to empathize with. The premise is cruel and boring. Miranda, played by Michelle Monaghan, is delightful, but we never see enough of her to truly fall for her charm. Her family is equally lovable, but the film never fully utilizes the potential of the characters. All in all, it was a good lesson in mediocrity.

lol hey Beth. Funny enough, the "baldy" in the picture on the side is my sister, who is balding by choice. And me, not so much. Not by choice at all. LOL.
