Chuck and Larry

So I was pretty much bored all day; typical Saturday. No one wants to hang out with me so I ended up going to the theatre by myself, and here's how it went...

I get up to the ticket booth at about 6:40; there's nothing really to see. So I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry was going to start in an hour and I thought "What the hell, funny movie would be nice right about now." I paid for my ticket and now have a whole hour to waste, which I've become pretty good at.

As I walked in I could hear the clattering upstairs from the air-hockey machine all the kiddies were playing on and the usual chit-chat from all the other movie-goers. The snack bar was calling out to me, so I waited in line and finally got up there to get my medium Sprite and mini-Reese's cups. After I paid for my treats I went over to the glass area at the front next to the ticket booth to just observe.

It may not sound interesting to some people but if you sit and watch other people go about their business it sure does pass by time. You got all your stereotypes, the Hollister preps with their cute barbie doll girlfriends dressed in short skirts and looking like they're trying to fit into Hollywood or something; the family with the dad getting mad at the children for being children; the older couple who actually know how to sit and enjoy a conversation. I saw a little kid carrying a stuffed Shrek doll that was as big as he was with no parental supervision, just wondering around in his own fantasy world. One kid, maybe 14 or 15 years old, came up to me and asked if I could get him and his girlfriend into a rate-R movie. I assumed it was Superbad, which I would really like to see.

All of this and a sunset to accompany me while I waited. The hot-air balloons all over the sky made for some nice Kodak picture moments. Unfortunately all I had was my phone. I got a nice picture of a hot-air balloon floating in front of the sun, but my phone takes bad pictures so it's not worth showing off. Just something you'd have to see for yourself.

Finally, I go in to see my movie. I sit in the back where the two seats by themselves are placed with half my Sprite left and only 3 mini-Reese's. Also, let me just say that those mini-Reese's are not cool. First off you get the tricky little bastards that have two wrappers, and where one of the wrappers sticks perfectly to the edge of the Reese's so you can't feel it in the dark. Then you have the ones where the bottom half sticks to the wrapper so as to get the full Reese's experience you have to sit there and lick a wrapper the size of your thumb (if that), making yourself look stupid.

Alrighty, so the lights dim. Some crappy commercials and other movie trailers I've already seen are shown. The movie finally starts; and it actually made me laugh. From beginning to end this movie was good. Some of the humor was borderline PG-13 at times, but what can you expect from the 21st Century? Still, that didn't bother me none. Quite a few good cameos for any Adam Sandler fans who have seen his previous movies. I think this is one of the few movies where all the funny parts weren't given away in the preview. Even if this movie wasn't funny, Jessica Biel alone would be a reason to go.

Ving Rhames, the black guy from the Mission: Impossible movies was hilarious! And with Rob Schneider (Hot Chick) playing a Chinese priest and David Spade being flamboyantly gay this movie would be hard to pass up for anyone with a sense of humor.

So, basically, if you like to laugh go see this movie. But take someone with you, it makes it more enjoyable. Now I'm going to listen to music and wait for tomorrow to role around where I get to see my dad and hopefully have a better day.

Peace,
Seal
