Henry and Kristl stopped watching Jerry Maguire

Rating: Null/10 (21 June 2013)

"I didn't know it was a romantic comedy." Kristl said. She was leaning back into the couch in the garage turned movie theater,"I was completely fooled by the name and the fact it said someone wrote a statement against greed in sports. I thought it would be a drama in which someone rejects greed. Instead it is just a story vehicle to have two people meet."
"I didn't know either. A romantic comedy! The last one I saw was When Harry met Sally. I think that was more than enough romcom to last me a lifetime." Henry laid down the remote. "So what now?"
"Maybe we ought to sit it out..You know, can we judge a movie based on the first thirty minutes? Although it has Tom Cruise in it. A romantic comedy with Tom Cruise. That is so wrong."
"And no action. And Renee Zellweger..the girl that looks like she is perpetually on the verge of a nervous breakdown and about to cry. I think she can't really act, just plays one person called Renee Zellweger with one facial expression."
"She does it very well though. But Tom Cruise as an love interest. Horrible. I can't see him as a nice man in this movie, but as a sleek guy with a fake smile... but most of all, his cold eyes.. Brr." Kristl shivered, "But he was great in movies like Born on the Fourth of July, or Rain Man or Collateral."
"To be fair we ought to watch a movie with Tom Cruise at his best. A movie where he kicks ass," Henry said, "Like Mission Impossible."
"Beg your pardon?" Kristl raised an eyebrow.
"Minority Report then?"
"Are you serious?"
"The Last Samurai?"
"Nope." Kristl shook her head.
"What then? Not Rain Man please"
"How about Collateral?"
"It's a deal."
