If you're looking to just laugh your hiney off for a couple of hours, this just may be the answer. Jim Water, taken in moderation, cannot hurt anybody. -- Mark Twain

I'd love to just screw off all day making a movie and get paid rather than worrying if i'd captured the essence of some 100 year old dead guy some dimwitted director thinks is neccessary. Ligten up man, it's a frickin' movie.

All's I meant was that I just didn't find it funny, and that the cast was composed of men that have proven themselves capable of comedic gold. You're right--it is just a frickin movie, and I'm not making a big deal about it...the guy was looking for opinions on the film and I gave it to him. Does this qualify me as being overly serious? Oh well.

I thought she did a great job capturing the mind of middle aged men. haha If you haven't seen the movie yet.. GO SEE IT... It is worth the time. /:' "it's the neck, it creaks under the weight of too much heavy thinking."

That is what I mean. I do not mean "It was a comedy and I wanted something deep". I can accept there are separate genres. Each script need not reach to be something it is not. "Dude where's my Car" is not trying to be Dostoyevsky. A fun flick can still be well written and funny. But if gaping holes and lame jokes make it a snore then one can say 'hey, I thought it was no good'. Fair 'nuff. Every genre has the potential for a good script. Or to be lame ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~

It will remind me of my "PS Days" (pre Susan days) when I rode a 1200cc H/D Electra Glide (1970-1980) and sold it for $300 more than I paid for it. I still want another but... I still get "Harley Fever" every spring when the new models come out... And I still sigh when the go past. Susan pats me on the back and says soothing things like "NO" RIDE ON!
