Pssst. Come close, I’ve got to let you in on a little secret. Do you want to know who America is really dying to see on the big screen? Do you want to know three totally relevant, totally today actresses? The answer’s easy: Gina Gershon, Phoebe from Friends, and Hilary Swank. There all so totally delightful, young, sexy, hip and fun! Put them in more movies. Better yet, find a way to showcase all three! That would be out of control. Seriously.
Would it be impolite to ask if Julianna Margulies, Elisabeth Shue and Mira Sorvino were all busy?
Or Jennifer Biel, Jodie Foster and Mary Stuart Masterson?
Or get the gang from “Hot Properties” back together; Gail O’Grady, Sofia Vergara and Nicole Sullivan. They were a magical trio, they just didn’t have the right vehicle. But I can tell by the trailers, that your picture has it all – there’s singing, there’s dancing, there’s silly dancing in underwear, there’s karaoke, there’s falling down (both in boats and implausible while simply standing up). If there’s a cliche you liked in a different romantic comedy, you’ll like it again in this one.
Only thing that’s hard to swallow…the premise. A man took the time to write a letter everyday for a year. And he’s planned different events, outings, and trips? No man would ever, ever do this. Only a woman (a certifiably nutty woman) would do this. Do men scrapbook? Do sane women? I rest me case.
This is such a stereotype of a female fantasy that it’s ludicrous. What woman really wants this control freak? Dude, you’re planning my vacation from the dead? I wouldn’t stand for that if you were alive. Asshole.
