Hitch
Speaking of Movies
Maggie and I saw Hitch last night. I don’t know why we did that. We knew we didn’t like that sort of movie. But we both like Will Smith, so we weren’t thinking completely straight.
There were funny moments, but the film is far, far too long. And too sappy. And too Hollywood romantic comedy. Like I said, I like Will Smith. But, please, please Will — do something funny that’s a little more daring, interesting, and with a lot less Hollywood.
Maggie and I tried to decide how much we don’t want to see this film again. Here’s what we came up with:
I’d rather allow myself to be slapped than see this film again.
but
I would rather see this film again than be fondled by a drifter.
So, it’s somewhere in between there. Maggie said she’s rather watch a speech from the president, providing that the speech were shorter than “Hitch.” I have decided that 75% is my break even point. If the speech is shorter than 75% the length of Hitch, then I’d rather watch the speech.
So, there you go.
This isn’t exactly a review, which is why I’ve created the new designation “Speaking of Movies.”
