WATCHMEN

We Love Movies – Video recommendation of the Week:
by FranksFilms

I’m breaking my own rule – twice.

Firstly, since this is a ‘video recommendation’ segment, I shouldn’t recommending a movie that’s not yet been released on video ………..but I am. If it helps, you can think of it as a video that you have to go over to your “friend’s house” to watch. You know that friend who’s house is that big building in the center of town, with the big marquee,  and he always has lots of your neighbors over, and treats you with enormous buckets of popcorn and soda ……except that you have to pay him.

The Heartbreak Kid

It’s so stereotypical !!!! (Crude Father, Wife whipped best friend) that its just not that funny.

Ben Stiller marries a women who turns out to be psycho (funniest bit of the movie), then falls for someone else.

The women he falls for – whether its the average acting or bad script – just doesn’t really crack it. The ending is not your happy, formula-tic ending, but it doesn’t work none-the-less.

Steph’s rating: 4/10 (below average)
