I just saw it.

As we all know,the Romantic Comedy genre started to die in the last decade,finally dying in 2010 since 90% of that year's rom-coms were bad.This year it seems to have been recovering.While this is cliched,unfunny and forgettable,it learned from the good ones by not relying* on physical comedy and/or gross out gags.

I also appriciated that they tried to make this a mature movie.Unfortunately,that's overshadowed by unlikeable and unrealistic characters**.But the acting was decent,and the leads had good chemistry.

I give this 3/10.

I don't think this should be nominated for anything.It was harmless and passable.

*It still had some,but virtually nothing.
**Granted.Some are more unlikeable and some are more unrealistic than others.But what's the point on ranking?

What happened to Kate Hudson? She went from an Oscar nominee, to starring in one bad rom-com after another.]]> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:32:25 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5022&PID=45626#45626 Forum Discussion & Add'l Info on SOMETHING BORROWED : Member Discussion of SOMETHING BORROWED http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5022&PID=45468#45468 Author: SchumacherH8ter

Here in New York, it's after midnight, which means that it's morning here. Time to reveiw this. Also, I have a schedule update for I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell.
 
The good:
 
Jon Krasinski: Krasinski is the proverbial gold in a sh*t-pile. He's the only character that I didn't want to punch out and the only one to realize that the other characters are unlikeables douches.
 
The bad:
 
Ginnifer Goodwin: Goodwin is a massive disappointment in this. She's just as bad as everyone else except for Hudson. Wait 'till I get to her!
 
Ashley Williams: She plays Claire, a girl who's very annoying. The actress, who shares a name with the middle segment of the human centipede, is very untalented.
 
Luke Greenfield: I could attack this butt-munch in detail, but I'll just list this fact: the highlight of his directorial career* was The Girl Next Door with Elisha Cuthbert!!
 
The ugly:
 
Kate Hudson: A lot of people are mad that Hudson blew the good-will from Almost Famous on terrible rom-coms. I HATED Almost Famous! In fact, I think that I'd rather re-watch this than that!!! To get back on topic, Hudson is just absolutely terrible. Her character is unlikable and a terrible person and friend. Why is she friends with Goodwin?
 
The script: This feels less like a script and more like an attempt to fit as many cliches as possible!
 
The characters: This is the true death-knell of the movie. All the characters who aren't John Krasinski are horrible people who cheat and lie on each other. This, combined with the terrible acting, directing, and writing, make this one of the most unpleasent movies of the year. Grade: F
 
As mentioned in the intro, I'm changing the schedule for the I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell review. There's two reasons for this. The first one is that I found out that super-hack Richard Kelly produced it. The second was that I was brain-storming some future special reviews and most of them involved Richard Kelly. So, I've decided to make next week Richard Kelly Week!!!!! Here's the schedule:
 
Sunday: Donnie Darko
Monday: Domino
Tuesday: Southland Tales
Wednesday: World's Greatest Dad
Thursday: I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell
Friday: The Box
Saturday: Operation: Endgame
 
*I say directorial career because he, apparantly, produced Role Models.

I just finished watching this and part of my soul died. The review will be up in the morning.]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2011 19:30:25 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5022&PID=45456#45456 Forum Discussion & Add'l Info on SOMETHING BORROWED : Member Discussion of SOMETHING BORROWED http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5022&PID=41990#41990 Author: jtucker

I'm pretty disappointed that they ruined a good book. And yes, there was a sequel to the book -- it's called Something Blue.  ]]> Sun, 22 May 2011 14:10:21 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5022&PID=41990#41990 Forum Discussion & Add'l Info on SOMETHING BORROWED : Official RAZZIE® Take on SOMETHING BORROWED http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5052&PID=41607#41607 Author: HeadRAZZBerry

You mean now even rom-coms are getting on the "pre-planned sequel before we know if the first movie is a success or not" bandwagon?!

Now that you've changed your signature,I've seen 8 of your dozen.

This is like with Stephen King's novels(and movies too):A lot of them feature religious fanatics(maybe he had a bad childhood experience),but they happen to be christian so a lot of people assume he's making fun of christians when he's actually making fun of religious fanatism in general.
