One-word movie reviews

“I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”

I now prounounce this movie: Unwatchable

Which is amazing for me, considering that I enjoyed Happy Gilmore and the Waterboy so I don’t mind the idea of a stupid movie with Adam Sandler. But this was painful. Honestly as a guy I was disappointed. I’ve never seen such poor acting on all parts or such awkward writing. The phrase "phoning it in" comes to mind, but in this case it was a collect call. I really hope none of my friends in LA worked on this. I saw an interview with Jessica Biel recently where she spoke about choosing to do this movie because she really wanted to work with Adam Sandler because she admired his work; not because she thought he was funny but specifically his skills. Now THAT’S acting. I’m now waiting for the “Inside the Actor’s Studio” with Adam Sandler where he is portrayed as a demigod, right up there with Olivier and Rob Shneider.

Hi Genevieve -- How are you?? I love reading your blog at work, it's such a fun break in the day.

Quick question: What's your email address? I have a friend who's visiting Madrid in May who I want to put you in touch with. She's trying to find a hotel, and figure out where she should stay in the city. I can't remember if you've been to Madrid yet, but I thought you might have some ideas.

Shoot me an email at work, which is still: smdjurovich@hhlaw.com

Hope you're good!!
