Yeah, I didn't like how RUNNING AWAY was made out to be some noble act. To add insult, she says "you were right" all those years later. Bloody hell Benjamin Button, I enjoyed your film, so why were there so many bits like that working against me?

sean, it has Judy Greer's character saying "see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya" as if no-one's ever said that in film or TV before, ever, and the writers by some stroke of luck managed to get that into the film just as the phrase was entering popularity. The film also dares us to believe Ed Burns is an attractive and sexy man. Another bit that gets to me is this exchange:
ED BURNS'S THOUGHLY UNINTERESTING CHARACTER: "Yeah, she's my right hand".
MALIN AKERMAN'S CHARACTER: "Lucky Her!"
They LOL as Katherine Heigl rolls her eyes.
See, the eye-rolling is there to tell us that the writers know it's a crap joke. Sadly, the rest of the jokes in the film aren't any better than that, which leads me to believe the writers knew the whole film was crap anyway and didn't invest much into it.
I'm angry now.

27 Dresses is not on my list because my girlfriend and I have never got more than forty minutes in before developing a hatred for life in general. James Marsden is usually great to watch, so it's sad that the film is so bad.

the last moment of the film has one of the funniest moments of the year. It's such a bizzare way to end a downer movie. It was a bit funny, yes, but the intent was obvious. And that "crazy guy" is Michael Shannon, a very underrated actor, who coincidentally turned down a role in a short I worked on back in April. Apparently he liked the idea but the Agent wanted money. Who do these professionals think they are... |

I think this is nuts.
Think away. There is plenty "there" there to chew over and discuss and think about. There should have been more. No, I don't need empirical proof that he was a paedophile, or that he was simpy gay and understood Donald's plight. I think it ends too abruptly and sidesteps many of the problems and challenges that would surround such an investigation. Watch John Patrick Shanley's interview with Charlie Rose from the time the play was on Broadway. Its on youtube. I saw the film, John. It speaks for itself. |
