What’s the worst chic flick you ever saw?
So last night I was forced to sit through a holiday chic flick. It was one of my girlfriends favorite holiday movies so I tried to be a good boyfriend and watch it with her.
It’s also chock full of british actors. Unless it’s Monte Python I’m not usually too fond of British humor. British Rock Music I love, but the humor is not always my thing. However I always did like the originally “Who’s Line Is It Anyway” before they Americanized it.
So the movie we watched was… “Love Actually”.
It wasn’t so bad. In fact, there were a couple stories in the movie that I really liked. But there was one scene that basically wrecked the whole movie and made it so I couldn’t take it very seriously.
The scene was this geeky British guy who was all jazzed about coming to America so he could swoop a bunch of hot girls with his foreign accent in charm. That’s all nice in theory, and heck, it even works on occasion. Most people tend to like others that have different qualities.
But in this scenario, homeboy flies into Wisconsin, and then proceeds to get dropped off at the very first bar in sight. And guess what happens? 4 Freaking hot bombshell hotties swarm him and want to get all up in his jock strap! Puh——lease! In Wisconsin? I know there are some hotties in the WI, but this was a dive bar full of Los Angeles floosies. Way too cheezy. (no pun intended Wisconsin)
I wouldn’t of minded seeing the scene had I been watching a Harold and Kumar movie, but in context with the other stories in the movie it was just plain stupid. Turned a halfway decent chic flick movie into utter trash because of this one British wanker who scores all these hot chics without even exerting effort.
The movie was supposedly about “love” and a few stories really hit that premise very well. But the Euro dude scoring hotties with no effort at all basically negated me giving the movie a positive rating.
There was one story that I really enjoyed though. It was about a couple who couldn’t speak the same language as each other. One Portuguese, and the other English. They fell in love despite not being able to talk. In the end… well, I won’t ruin it for you. But the ending of that story was very ,very good.
So, I’m curious, what’s the worst Chic Flick you ever had to sit through?
And if you are a female, what is the worst Man Show you’ve ever had to deal with?
Peace

PS: I was thinking of starting to do a “movie review” thing. Might be kinda fun. Would definitely have to be video though.
