in Planes, Trains and Automobiles..."When you tell a story, TRY TO HAVE A POINT - it makes it so much more interesting for the LISTENER!"
Boy, they could have used that advice here!
I've heard of gratuitous sex and gratuitous violence, but this is just 2 hours of gratuitous female bonding.
Its like they took every made-for-TV Mellisa Gilbert movie, threw them in a blender with some Harliquin romance novels, hit the puree button and produced a sickly, sour chick-flick flavored slurpee sludge AND THEN FORCED YOU TO KEEP DRINKING FOR 2 HOURS! Ick! Ick! Bleck!
Not even the Razzie awards will touch this one because it isn't "funny bad" or even "mockable bad" - its boring, dreary, "you feel oddly embarrased for everyone involved" bad FOR 2 HOURS!
I'm going to print T-shirts that say, "I survived Georgia Rules" and sell them to people coming out of the movie. Look for them on Ebay too if you are one of the victims.
At least everyone involved in Giggli, Ishtar, and Battlefield Earth can rest at ease knowing that the "bottom of the barrel" has been redefined and that a new low has been reached.
Whoever did makeup for the picture did a good job, however. Lohan looked old beyond her years, worn out, tired, baggy-eyed ...either that or she had a hangover every day on the set. (Oh wait, she did have a hangover every day on the set!)
They should have just spliced in cuts from Barbarella instead of 70-something Fonda; that was painful too. She reminds me of how her Dad looked in On Golden Pond.
Anyway, I lost $8.50 and will probably have to do some therapy, but no long term damage done. Just learn from my mistake and SAVE YOURSELF! |
