GOOD ADVICE
|
When I watched this movie, I thought "Damn, what a waste!" Don't get me wrong, it's NOT a bad movie. I was regretting that I didn't watch it on a date, because it's just about the most perfect Date Movie I've ever seen. Sort of the cinematic version of Barry White music. First of all, it's actually funny. Many Romantic Comedies toss in a few funny bits at the beginning, which are all used in the previews, so by the time you see the movie you've heard all the jokes. This one maintained a sense of humor (my favorite line, deadpanned by Denise Richards was "If God had wanted me to be poor, he would have made me homely.") Jon Lovitz is a treat as the supportive, plastic surgeon best friend. Second, it's a charming story, with Charlie Sheen as a self-absorbed, insensitive womanizer (Can you imagine that?), whose job as a stock broker has problems when. . . well, you should just see for yourself. So get a date and (DISCLAIMER: Before I continue, let me point out that I would NEVER advocate manipulating a woman's emotions for the sake of prurient self-interests) invite her over for dinner, snuggle up on the couch, pop this movie into the player, have a box of tissue handy, and let the Romantic part of Romantic-Comedy take effect. Individual results may vary, but I wouldn't plan on going anywhere else that evening. Enjoy...
