unspeakably bad
10 March 2006
Other than Matthew's abs, the always-enjoyable Kathy Bates and...well...that's all there is to this astonishingly formulaic movie. I thought it would be tough to be worse than I expected...but this is one instance where FTL excels. The plot is so bad it's painful. Matthew should limit his "acting" to the aforementioned abs and the most Pepsodent-white teeth extant. SJP is pretty terrible too, trying to channel a little Carrie Bradshaw and simply ending up being obnoxious. And I have to agree with another poster who noted that the friends are so wooden, so unimaginative, and so downright UNfunny that they drag this titanic of a dud down even further. The silly animal jokes, the annoying scene in the gun shop (ps: why were they in a gun shop in the first place?), the totally unnecessary paintball game, the even less necessary mountain biking scene...

Bottom line: SJP should be ashamed of herself for choosing this atrocious role after the equally awful movie she made late last year with Diane Keaton, MM should stick to doing crunches and smiling, and Terry Bradshaw...well, you have to give him props for having the guts to show that ass.
