Well first off, as you can see, this is not the normal movie review spot. And also I am not Case Bowman, instead I am the producer of Out & About Michael Stevens. To begin with, well actually I guess I already started, anyway I would like to invite anyone out there who will be attending summer school or is sticking around for the summer, to come learn about TV and you can even earn upper division credit, while working on Out About. If this sounds interesting to you then give me a call at 541-737-6326, or use the contact info at the end of the show to find out more. Now on to what you're here for, the movie review of the just out last Friday flick, Hope Floats. I don't mean to ruin the ending but everything works out in the end, that's because it's a Hollywood movie, but more importantly you get to leave the movie theatre because this piece of shit stunk up the place. To start with the star, Sandra Bullock, her performance was not that memorable, which I find rather odd since this is a movie she begged the studio to get produced, and they agreed only after she agreed to be in Speed 2, and from what I hear that movie sucked shit too. Second, any movie that has Harry Connick Jr. as the co-star is destined for failure. Now the women may think he's sexy, and granted he is a good singer, but does it take that much acting skill to play a fighter pilot in a movie in which the special effects are what the people go to see? I doubt it. But there was one surprise for me, that Forrest Whittaker, a good actor that I enjoy watching, especially in Good Morning Vietnam, was the director of Hope Floats. Unfortunately for Forrest, the movie is a big piece of human feces. The only real funny thing about this very predictable film was this little kid that had some real issues to work out. Now to give a brief synopsis of Hope Floats: Mom goes on National TV for free make-over, finds out best friend and hubby are doing the horizontal lambda. Mommy then takes daughter to small hometown in Texas. Mommy slowly falls for old acquaintance, while bonding with mother and trying to connect with father who has Alzheimer's. Mommy's mom dies, mommy and old acquaintance fall in love and hope floats to the top and we assume they live happily ever after the end. Lame story, sup-par acting, cute kids, movie sucked worse than Alan Winston on a basketball court. The rating is three couches out of ten. My suggestion is to go watch Good Will Hunting if you can still see it in a theatre, since it is by far the best movie of the year with As Good as it Gets second, and I won't even mention the mammoth boat film who robbed Good Will Hunting at the Oscars. Thanks for watching and now back to your host or is it hosts. Last updated: Thursday, March 20, 2008 02:45:18 AM |
