sappiness ad nauseam

I am officially dumber than I was three hours ago. Brett and I just watched "The Lake House". Now, this may come as a shock to some of you, but...it just about made me throw up. That movie is the perfect example of why I hate romance movies--and romance in real life, too.

We rented the movie because it had a little twist to it, I thought it might be kind of like that one where the girl is in a coma (which I liked only slightly more than this one). But officially, that movie is the last romantic comedy I will ever watch. And we are definitely going to watch one of the more extreme blow-em-up-and-kick-them-in-the-face movies next, so that I can get the bad taste out of my mouth.

I literally gagged when the leading lady, Sandra Bullock, told her man, Keanu Reeves, "Ha Ha. Very funny. What...did you eat a clown for breakfast?" And just when I thought no one could be a worse actor than Keanu, they found his equal to play "the brother". This guy looked like he was on the verge of vomiting throughout the entire film. He probably couldn't believe he was in such an awful film.

Oh well. Now that I'm writing this, I feel silly that I stayed and watched the whole movie. No, I stayed so that I could send a truly informed warning out to all of you. Don't even be tempted by the chance to view Sandra's excellent wardrobe. It's not worth it.
