Movie: The Heartbreak Kid (2007) Review
The movie The Heartbreak Kid wasn’t that bad, I had some ‘LOL’ moments but it’s not some of Ben Stiller’s best work. Though it had a good plot for a romantic-comedy, it was still very predictable. A man marries somebody, meets somebody on his honeymoon that’s better, she finds out, he gets in a lot of trouble.
This might just be personal opinion here but I think I’m just about sick of the romantic-comedy genre, I’d like some good comedies back please and thanks. Despite my growing unhappiness with the genre, this movie did hold up on both the romantic and the comedy factors and proved to be a worth-watching film. I’d recommend going to see it in theaters for the the Ben Stiller fan (or if you want to see nudity on the big screen, because that’s there too)
Final: 6.5/10 “My son found your panties on the sidewalk and we’ve been talking about you all week.”
What threw me off was that Ben Stiller had gray hair and was acting like he was 40. I’m a fan of some older stuff, such as Zoolander, so seeing him being old throw me off. What worries me though is that as he’s getting older the quality of his movies are going down hill. The flare just seems to be burning out, not quite gone yet, but getting there. I’d like to see him come out with something in the near future living up to his humorous reputation, but can’t see it happening.
I’m thankful…
Since Thanksgiving is tomorrow, I figure I’ll try to come up with a list of some things that I’m thankful for. I normally don’t care for Thanksgiving (I’ll take ham over turkey any day) but lately I feel I’ve been quite a ‘Negative Nancy’ so it comes at a good time. Without further ado: I’m thankful…
- That people care enough to nag me to do stuff that I should be doing anyway.
- That I haven’t had to deal with a death lately. *knock on wood*
- That Blogging for Apples has been growing in visitors.
- For net neutrality.
- That George Bush can’t find Canada on a map
- That people continue to nag me to do stuff even after I tell them I will and forget.
- For cheeseburgers.
- That I only have to make a list about positive things once a year!
Happy Thanksgiving.
