I Did Like the "Alien Jumpsuit Chicks"
I liked the "Alien Jumpsuit Chicks" and wish they had been the main focus of this project. Instead we get "Stiffler" (without his mom) and that "Punk'd" guy trying to do comedy. Now "Stiffler" is simply incapable of being funny, but he can be entertaining (when playing "Stiffler") because he is so irritating. Unfortunately in "Dude" his character is not "Stiffler". The "Punk'd' guy is not funny but he is somewhat entertaining because you wonder how someone who should be working at the Topeka Dairy Queen is getting paid for this kind of stuff.Anyway the movie is incredibly stupid, but it is supposed to be incredibly stupid, and it is intended for a target audience of the incredibly stupid; maybe even less intelligent and discriminating than the folks P.T. Barnum was referring to when he said nobody went broke "underestimating" the intelligence of the American people. Its simple of mind target audience was illustrated at my local Blockbuster where the resident drones and wigger girls were laughing and snorting like pigs as they recounted their favorite scenes.For me the biggest laugh came from watching a then unknown Jennifer Garner (who was pushing 30-born April-1972) trying to play the uptight "teenage" girlfriend and keep up with Lisa Sokoloff (born Dec-1980 and the only cast member who is actually an acting talent-and she has a lot of acting talent) playing the other uptight teenage girlfriend. Seeing their talent disparity in light of their recent respective career paths was a graphic illustration of the entertainment anti-meritocracy. Although finding Kristy (Dec-1969) Swanson back playing teenage bit parts was some consolation.Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.
