go to hell
Every now and then a movie comes along that is just so profoundly brilliant and unique that you just have to see over and over and each time you see it, the movie only gets better.
The 40 year old virgin is NOT that movie.
I remember seeing this movie for the first time thinking it was ball bustingly hilarious! It had been a long time since I enjoyed a movie this much!
Months later, when it came out on dvd, I thought I'd share this wonderful experience with a friend who had never seen it before.
Five minutes into the film I started to realize something... this was one of the STUPIDEST movies I had EVER seen! I didn't laugh once! What I thought was hilariously brilliant was now painfully boring.
The main actor, whatever the fuck his name is just plain sucked. The supporting cast was immediately forgetful and it all just seemed so freakin' forced.
It makes me wonder why this movie was so popular to begin with. Perhaps it was successful with the younger crowd who haven't yet seen the other 3984985 movies that are EXACTLY like this one.
Maybe the American public had one of those massive collective brain farts that allowed Titanic to be a hit and got Dub-yuh in office TWICE. Who the hell knows.
Perhaps I subconciously convinced myself it was funny the first time to offset the horrible realization that I had just wasted 16 bucks on this train wreck.
but ya gotta love the drunk drivin ho, "letz go git sum fuuuckin french toooast."
ReplyDeleteI'll venture a guess. Ya know how some things seem so funny when you are with a certain friend, but you wouldn't laugh if you were by yourself or with another friend?
ReplyDeleteMaybe that is what happened. Maybe you were in just one of your goofy "girly run" moods when you saw it the first time, but no where near that when you watched it on DVD. (I haven't seen the movie. Maybe it's not a goofy thing. Who knows. Shut up. You get my point.)
Just a thought.
Btw, I'm jonesin' for a good out-in-public girly run. Thought you should know. :D
gee.. I wonder how the plotline this movie goes? Is it... don't tell me... about some 40 year old dude whose friends try to get him laid?
ReplyDeleteYeah.. overrated... :) good post!
Just visiting and I thought I would throw my 2 cents in...I got 5 minutes into this Suck-feast and had to turn it off.
