The TV ads have been playing for a week or two now, is anybody looking forward to this film? Keanu Reeves looks like he's actually doing a good job of acting in this one! I may have to see it just for that if not for anything else.

The links to the two trailers are here: http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/s/s...sgottagive.php

Marilyn must be turning over in her grave.

It has nothing to do with the aborted MM film (remade with Doris Day). Buzz is that Diane Keaton gives an Oscar-worthy performance. It has "adult" written all over it, so those that are looking for a gross-out comedy should stay away. :frowning:

You want a gross-out comedy in place of an "adult" movie, Peter?

 

[Peter Kline]

Sorry If I confused you. Of course not.

By "adult" I mean witty, funny and a screenplay that doesn't confuse salacious words and situations with good writing.

Sophomoric comedies so prevalent today are boring, silly and most of the time uninteresting to me.

I look forward to this film.

Oh, I suppose there's nothing sophmoric about a man catching a woman his own age (actually, ten years his junior) topless, and he freaks out (gets a heart attack?)- all played for comedy.

Ok, so it isn't "sophmoric". It's "dirty old mannish".

Oh, I suppose there's nothing sophmoric about a man catching a woman his own age (actually, ten years his junior) topless, and he freaks out (gets a heart attack?)- all played for comedy.

The way the scene plays out it works quite nicely.

Unlike, say, a certain scene in "Something About Mary" where the peeping-tom catches sight of something he shouldn't have. THAT would be gross-out comedy.
