This movie gives hope to ugly old men

Rating: Null/10 (9 October 1999)

Well, I think this movie was pretty good. But it really got me thinking. I know it is a favourite Hollywood trick to cast a leading man with an attractive woman half his age as the love interest. This movie does not disappoint- Jack was 60 when this movie came out, and Helen was 34. Seeing as this movie was pretty good, and the lead male was double the love interest's age, logically, if a theoretical movie came out where the lead male's age was triple the love interest's, it would be even BETTER! Or how about quadruple? Or quintuple? Here's a pitch for a new movie. It's called "Better Than it Gets," and it stars Bob Hope and Natalie Portman. At first, they don't get along, because Bob keeps telling her how fat and ugly she is. But then, as a gesture of affection, he butts his cigar out in her eye, and she falls in love with him. How about it, Hollywood?
