My Best Friend’s Girl faces off at the box office against Lakeside Terrace, Igor, and Ghost Town. I don’t know why, exactly, but MBFG is the only one I really care about seeing. I’d been interested in Ghost Town until I read (more than one place) that the first half of the movie was the only funny or watchable part. I’m not interested in an early exit, so I think I’ll probably skip that one.
I’ve always loved Kate Hudson and Dane Cook is so hilarious it hurts, so there’s no way I’m missing their movie. Dane Cook was given a lot of freedom in this movie and was allowed to improvise a great deal. Given the fact that his standup routines are the funniest ever, I can’t help but think this movie will THRILL his fans. A few of us may even wet ourselves.
Hey, you never know.
In case you haven’t read about his rant on MySpace about the photoshopping done on the movie’s poster, below are a few highlights. Click on the poster (above) to see a larger version.
“Whoever photoshopped our poster must have done so at taser point with three minutes to fulfill their hostage takers’ deranged obligations.”
He said that it looked like he was “wearing Maybelline Water Shine Diamonds Liquid Lipstick,”, that his high collar was “going for the vampire lurking in the castle basement vibe,” and that he appeared “able to turn my head comfortably 360 degrees, because I was raised in an abandoned barn by a family of owls.”
He said that the photoshopping was an injustice to the movie because he and costars Hudson, Alec Baldwin and Jason Biggs “really kicked the funny around.”
* The movie is rated R for strong language and sexual content throughout, including graphic dialogue and some nudity.
