When In Rome
When In Rome was a cute movie. Poorly edited, or maybe just badly written/directed/produced or something. It felt like those times when I fall asleep while watching a movie and wake up and miss a part, but can pretty much figure out what is going on. I'd say on the scale of Unbelievable and Strange Story Lines it falls in between Failure To Launch (really, pretty awful except for Zooey Deschanel -- but that could even be pushing it) and Monster In Law (which was surprisingly not totally awful). There were a couple funny parts and the dancing during the credits was a nice touch.

I saw Monster in Law in a $2 theater in Oberlin, OH with Ricardo and some of his college friends. The entire theater was full of farmer types who were there to enjoy a movie starring J Lo. Meanwhile, the 5 of us brought in 2 40s each and when we finished them, we rolled them down the aisle. Nothing funnier than the clinkety-clink of glass rolling on cement during the sentimental "mother-in-law bonds with daughter-in-law" moment.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I like how basically the one redeeming quality of this movie you mention is the dancing during the credits.
