Sometimes, I think that I just want to torture myself. What was I thinking? I knew this could never work, but, like a fool, a went for it anyways, and now everything has turned to shit. I did the worst thing I could ever do in my life. I watched My Best Friends Girl.
I have nothing against Dane Cook, but why do we let him make movies? Employee of the Month wasn't terrible, it had some funny parts, I let it slide. This somehow warranted a second chance, but that second chance was Good Luck Chuck, possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. This leads us to My Best Friends Girl, which somehow ended up being worse than the last two combined!
I thought maybe, just maybe, this movie had some potential. After all, I like Jason Biggs, I think he is a great everyman, and I enjoy seeing him in movies. Is it his fault the movies he chooses to be in tend to be cliche and tired? Maybe, but I can't fault the guy for trying. Also, Alec Baldwin, we all love Alec Baldwin. He is hilarious every week on 30 Rock. So I figured maybe, for once, Dane Cook might have figured out how to make a good movie, maybe with these more positive influences he could do something good. Look at his new leading lady, Kate Hudson, a critical darling, replacing the garbage acting he previously shared the screen with, such as Jessica Simpson and Jessica Alba (Jessica=Bad Actress?). This is not the case, apparently Cook will never be able to make a good movie. Maybe he should go back to being the quirky friend or doing stand-up for dumb jocks.
I will admit one thing, since I hate to be completely negative. The scene where he walks down the wedding aisle wearing an all black tux, smoking a cigarette, to the sounds of "The Man Comes Around" by Johnny Cash was actually a pretty cool scene. I am no smoker by any means, but it is also nice to see a leading man be a smoker in a movie, I have always been annoyed by how villified smokers are on tv and in movies. Can I think of a third good thing? No, I can't, that's all I have to say.
