Anyone seen a good movie lately?

[Zanshin]

Watched a chick flick with the Mrs. tonight that was decent.  Something called Music & Lyrics with Hugh Grant & Drew Barrymore.  The romantic comedy side of it was excruciating but Hugh Grant was hysterical in a role that might as well have been entitled "Andrew Ridgeley From Wham!"

He actually made me laugh several times.  Sadly, whenever Drew Barrymore entered a scene I had to put both fingers in my ears.  The musical numbers were pretty painful although there was a hot slut who was supposed to be Christina Aguilera in the movie who wasn't half bad.  Brad Garrett from Everyone Hates Raymond played a secondary part and wasn't awful and Kristen Johnson from Third Rock From The Sun played Barrymore's sister.  She was better than Garrett and infinitely better than Drew Barrymore.

Anyway, overall it was a mess but there was a lot of 80's stuff in there that made me laugh (Pop-Up Video for one) and again Hugh Grant was excellent in a role that could have been cringe inducing.

Scenes Hugh Grant was in: 4 out of 5 stars.

Scenes where the hot slut was half naked:  5 out of 5 stars.

Everything else including the music, plot, & especially Drew Barrymore:  0 out of 5 stars.


Overall: 2/5 stars.

Funny, my wife sucked me into this last night.  It wasn't bad, for what it was.  If I paid money to see it, I'd be pissed...but for free to have on in the background, it was fine.

Hugh Grant was his typical self for the role, but it worked for him.  Barrymore was indeed awful.  It was predictible and stupid, yet somehow watchable.

Mooseport is great, very funny.  I haven't gone through all the threads but " Golden Compass"  was very good and so was "National Treasure - Book of Secrets"

Well said, sir.

I can't believe that none of you no taste clowns enjoyed Blair Witch. I know that my disbelief is easily suspended, but come on.  That was some scary shtein.
