A film ill-served by it's
teenflick-looking trailer, this is another entry in what seems to be a growing
subgenre of
The Graduate-for-Gen X (except that it's set in 1987, and the "older woman" isn't really older, though equally inappropriate). Two of my favorite young actors star:
Jesse Eisenberg and the skewed beauty
Kristen Stewart. Smart and touching, if only marginally fresher than the corn dogs left unrefrigerated since yesterday morning.
Trailers
- Dance Flick--Oh, golly, no.
- The Proposal--Saw a shorter version of this earlier, but apparently was so horrified that I put it out of my mind before getting home. Sandra Bullock plays harriden boss, Ryan Reynolds her put-upon assistant. When her visa is threatened (she's Canadian), she creates the fiction of an impending wedding, and, gosh, well, hilarity just has to ensue, doesn't it? Amd maybe true romance too, you think? Was this one of those French sex farces first? Ooooh, ugh. And while we're on the subject, can someone explain Reynolds's appeal? He has a pivotal role as inappropriate heartthrob in Adventureland as well, and I'm at a loss as to whence derives the throb.
