Stupendousville other than that. This movie should have been Lake Bell/Corddry ONLY or money donated to charity. Nothing else would have been acceptable. Diaz THROWS FRUIT AT HIM. Really. Just hideously terrible. I thought it was really good except for the salient fact that:

Diaz THROWS FRUIT AT HIM.

Really. Just hideously terrible.

It honestly made me hate life a little more. I get the feeling you were having a pretty good day when you saw it. And now that you share a ripe review with Pete Hammond can't make you feel too good. This movie was truly awful, not Over Her Dead Body awful, but it was painful. Oh Joe, I saw this thing yesterday. It honestly made me hate life a little more.

Peeing in the dishes? Putting popcorn down his pants? It really blows my mind that not only do these scenes make it into a movie, but they actually are the central theme in the trailer trying to sell the movie. Your comment that there may be something beyond that gives me hope and I need it. :) Hey Joe, I am just looking for anything to grab hold of since I can't for the life of me see how anyone can watch those trailers for Vegas and muster up any excitement.

LOL. I guess I should be flattered. I take issue only with your comment about my somehow dating myself with the '30s and '40s screwball comedy reference. I mean, sure, I am old -- 55 to be precise -- but, actually, the filmmakers themselves are quoted in the press notes as acknowledging their debt to those films. Of course, I can't remember any movie with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn using a joke that involved a sweaty ball sac, but whatever.
