Irritating

Rating: 5/10 (6 May 2007)

Sappy, chick flick, sure... Lotsa plot holes. So how come Camron Diaz is able to drive a Cooper Mini from the cottage when the cabbie balked at driving to the cottage? Don't get it?
The astounding wealth of all the characters was distracting. These folks got bucks, Hollywood bucks!
OK:
Eli Wallach's character's speech bugged me.
The time he recalls when movies and Hollywood somehow weren't all about money and glitz and special effects didn't exist. Variety magazine sure reported box office returns, Hollywood even owned the theaters "back then," etc. And why this guy doesn't think movies had "special effects teams" "back then"? Just because there wasn't any cgi in 1950 or so, doesn't mean special effects "teams" weren't in the picture. Yeah, maybe the writing "back then" was better (was it? Hollywood made crap then and makes crap now!), but... And they had "Hollywood Money" back then, too!
I found myself yelling at the TV screen during this intellectually dishonest speech. Feh!
