I thought this was a very good movie, but it got lots of awful reviews. I think the amount of drugs done in the movie was a big part of the problem people had with the flick, and I can understand that. The characters did snort blow like I've never seen before, but I actually think all the coke sniffing made some sense. I know that some rich beautiful young people deal with their issues like that.
Here, Chris Evans is trying to get his ex-girlfriend back. The girlfriend is played by Jessica Biel. Jason Statham is a stranger who listens to Evans whine. They spend most of the movie in the bathroom of a party. I loved it. Jason and Evans have lots of hair in their heads. I think at least one of them was wearing a rug.
The acting surprised me, I didn't know Evans and Biel could act. I mean, they weren't outstanding or anything, but they were pretty good. They actually had a few really good scenes. Who knows, maybe if they keep working under steady and firm directing hands they may turn out to be good actors. Jason disappointed me though. I think he is (a little) better than that.
We see a lot of Evans' torso. Statham remains in a suit all the time. Damn it.
Unfortunately we had one line of homophobic content for our gay movie review. The girl hosting the party (played well by Isla Fisher), calls Evans a cocksucker like it's a bad thing. Bitch doesn't know what she's missing if she really thinks it's bad. Shame on her on two counts.
Also, in one scene, Jason mentioned they had no time for Evans to be a pussy. Bad, but more misogynistic than homophobic, right? And there were tons of misogynistic comments. That was pretty bad. It's like they replaced all the commas in Jason's script with the C word.
Oh, and the movie had a few excellent tunes
