Great review as always Mass. Though you are dead wrong about Ashton siring the slew of coke addled underwear deficient whores that keep the tabloid in bidniss. They were an inevitability, as once you are famous, you main task in life becomes to remain famous, and when you lack talent that becomes an increasingly desperate task. As for this film, I'm sorry but my loathing for Kushner and Diaz is deathless and knows no limits. I don't care if seeing it grants you immortal youth and a schlong the size of a kielbasa, I'll be skipping this one.

I can't ever understand why all those slacker comedians (pretty much all stemming from Mr. Show) can't ever come up with a good movie together and get Bob to direct it (he's not a good director but he seems to get money for his crap).

As for Rob Corddry that guy typecasted him self pretty damn fast. Maybe he'll be funny one day, he was ok in Blackballed.

Hahaha Miss Match actually was some short lived TV-show in 03 that Lake Bell was in. About a matchmaker. I never saw it. I guess Miss Guided got cancelled, that show was kind of funny, would have been better if it was Chris Parnell as the lead. Man there have been a lot of bombed comedies about teachers as of recent.

and had pretty much the same reaction. It won me over too. I think what made this marginally better than most of the romantic comedy crap out there is the ridiculous set-up for the film, the device that forces two people that hate each other to have to spend time together. Yes it follows all the steps, and thinking back it is all rather stupid, but i didn't notice while i was watching it. The managed to get me caught in the moment. So good for them, it was as horrid as i thought it was going to be, and it still isn't good, but it's better then all the other rmantic comedies i've seen of late...well, except sarah marshall of course.

my biggest problem with this movie is not the idea that we are suppose to believe that Rob Corddry is funny, or that we are suppose to by the fact that Cameron Diaz is good looking and can even over look that fact that Lake Bell was never meant to act outside of the TV box. Its the concept that Ashton Kutcher would ever marry an older women, I just can't get my head around it.

by IndustryKiller!
May 9th, 2008
01:08:36 PM
Liking every single thing that comes down the pipe is not a passion for film. What that is is a penchant for cheap entertainment and a gullibility, those two things I don't doubt. If you have a passsion for something, especially an art form, a certain sense of discernment must come with it. Also a recognition that the more garbage that people condone the more garbage will then get seeped into the art form. Otherwise it's not a passion but more a mindless time killer, which seems akin to massawyrms sensibilities. A cinephile Massawyrm you are not.

Your internet girlfriend break up with you today or something? Or did your boss finally firewall all the gay porn sites? Because you are P-I-S-S-Y today.

For the record, anyone who slags a movie site unseen has exactly ZERO authority to talk about who is a cinephile and who is not. Being PICKY also doesn't actually discern that one has taste. And finally, anyone who can point people back to a year and a half old review of mine has read enough to know that I slag about as many films as I endorse - making your initial premise faulty to begin with. Also note the half-hearted endorsement at the end of this piece. I didn't love it, I just liked it.

So calm down, get your life shit worked out, and come back when you have something to say that doesn't come out as uneducated, arrogant screed.

"And now he’s back. And if that weren’t bad enough, he’s back starring opposite Cameron “Magic Swirling Ass” Diaz. It’s not that I dislike Diaz in the same manner as Kutcher, but she’s always comes across as the cutesy sorority girl type – and that gimmick has an expiration date. In Diaz’s case it was 2004." This might be the best thing you ever wrote. but then you wrote this: "it all felt very much like a classic Hepburn-Tracy screwball comedy, " so I still don't know if you're full of it or not. I guess you're views on movies are just "complicated". At least you're entertaining. I may never see a movie(or not see one) based on your reviews but I do enjoy reading them

And I think I've seen enough movies, especially enough with Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz and their most wack-wack-WACKY to know exactly how What Happens in Vegas turns out. I mean lets be realistic here. I also didn't use the word "picky" I used discerning and that's what I meant. Sorry but I take offense to people promoting, and that is what you are doing whether you mean to or not, shitty Ashton Kutcher comedies. We are in a cinematic landscape today that is pathetic, and it stretches to more or less every corner of art from film to music and television. And the whole fucking cycle is cyclical. Bad begets bad. And quite frankly I want that cycle, at least in some small way, to end. So when people endorse movies that obviously deserve a beating I get prickly. And I see you dot hat on an almost constant basis. You said yourself that you can't stand Ashton Kutcher, well I'm right thee with ya chief and quite frankly I hope they stop giving him work because until then they are gonna keep throwing him in our faces. To do that his movies have to tank. Now you say you don't like the guy, and I'm assuming that has something to do with the painfully annoying obnoxious douche bag he always plays. Are you trying to tell me he doesn't play that douche bag in this film, because I've seen the trailer and not for a frame of any of them does he drop that schtick. In fact he seems to have amped it up. If you can tolerate that obviously you've overstated your problem with Kutcher, because that is him every time out of the fucking gate and if you all of the sudden don't have a problem with it in this film than there's a disparagement there. SO maybe you are being a tad disingenuous in the first place. And I'll thank you not to bring my internet girlfriend into this, she loves me and someday I'll be able to fly her over here from the Philippines and meet her face to face.

There's a reason I capitalized PICKY. Call it DISCERNING all you want, you're slagging something you have no actual knowledge of. Discerning belies education.

Do I think you have any reason to see it? Fuck no. But that has more to do with your penchant for hating things on principle than its quality.

We are the only true judges of what we enjoy and what we should watch. But I will say that I've seen all three of those films and I wouldn't even dare to compare them in the same breath with this film. If you don't like Romantic Comedies, don't watch this movie. Pure and simple. But comparing it to movies held as the worst ever made? Not when you haven't seen it, brother. Pony up the hour and half of your time and then we can talk.

The problem here is that IK is arguing that he possesses special knowledge that allows him to not only know when a film is not right for him, but not right for anyone else either. It's the netnerd version of those Bible thumpers who try to make Biblical law ACTUAL law. Because, after all, they do know better than the rest of us. Don't they?

Armchair critics with knee-jerk sensibilities and minds closed more tightly than the vault at Fort Knox are not going to be won over. Just let the cretininous comments wash over you. The sad fact is that in this day of Youtube and geek chat boards it's even more evident that opinions are like assholes. And most often come FROM assholes. Movie critics have a tough row to hoe these days since every Tom Dick and Harry (no offense meant to Headgeek) thinks they know something about film and the film industry. Industrykiller talks about the "cinematic landscape" like he studies it, but obviously he doesn't. The TRUE fact of the matter is that contrary to his hyperbolic argument, the state of fiction today is the same as it ever was. Some good, some bad. Get over it. Kudos to you, Massa, for getting past your own prejudice and giving the movie a chance. I also hate that mugging, self-serving shithead. But if the movie's okay, I'll give it a watch. On DVD probably, but still...

It took me awhile, but I've come to the realization that one can't really ever completely discount an out-of-the-blue event coming from a movie that has zero expectations.



Did anyone have any expectations for the original "Pirates of the Caribbean"? Of course not. Word of mouth propelled it to success because let's face it, who expects a movie based on a theme park ride to be any good? A really good director can pull a good performance out of a lousy actor, and a really good actor can pull out a good performance in spite of lousy directing.



I' m not going to see this film, but only because I'm not a big romantic comedy fan. But I'm not gonna dispute what Massawyrm has to say about it 'cause I haven't seen it myself to judge.

by IndustryKiller!
May 9th, 2008
06:59:27 PM
by all means start telling me I hate things on principle. Until that day it's just a strawman argument to justify your own bullshit. Does What Happens in Vegas have Ashton Kutcher in full blown, obnoxious, shrill voiced, why-talk-when-you-can-scream Ashton Kutcher mode? Yes, yes it does. Now I don't hate rom-coms on principle by any measure, THAT would be "picky". I really enjoy Love Actually, Sleepless in Seattle/You've Got Mail, Notting Hill, any John Hughes offering in the genre. They aren't high art but good clean fun. See THAT is "discerning". But when you combine those admittedly thin genre cliches with the over the top screeching of Ashton Kutcher (who isn't even good at that) and Cameron Diaz's terrible comedic timing you have a bad film. You can say that my two cents doesn't count all you want, but I'm dead on accurate. Kutcher is objectively a bad actor, period, even in the laughably bad b-movie The Butterfly Effect. Thinking of his reactions in that film make me laugh to this day. I also got appendicitis while watching that film. Coincidence? maybe. Now I'm not seeing What Happens in Vegas in theaters, I have a habit of putting my money where my mouth is and not supporting utter garbage with my money. but whenever it hits TBS Superstation, sight unseen or not, we will be able to look back on this and see how right I was.

There was a fair amount of hype and expectation around the first Pirates of the Caribbean. I know my friends and I were there on day one. that situation isn't at all comparable to What Happens in Vegas. Pirates starred Johnny Depp, one of the best screen actors of all time, Vegas stars Ashton Kutcher, whose only rival for worst actor on the landscape is Hayden Christensen. The trailer for Pirates looked incredible, the trailer for Vegas looks like a Diaz Kutcher comedy, 'nuff said. Pirates was a big budget pirate film, Vegas has a plot that was already done (probably much better) in the Larry David film Sour Grapes. Pirates has cool skeleton men, Vegas has Dennis Miller, which is way more frightening, and not in a good way.

between prediction and review. Massa provided a review. You're providing a prediction. I'll take an informed review over an informed prediction any day. As should anyone who gives a shit about objectivity in critical situations. It might be his personal opinion, which calls into question the objectivity, but he actually watched the entire movie and formed his opinion based on the entirety of the experience. Whereas you offer nothing more than hyperbolic rhetoric. Even if I agree with you generally about Asshat Kutcher, I think you're off-base calling Massa out on his review. Until you watch it yourself, your argument against Massa is weak.
