That's What She Said -- The Office

Fri, 4 April 2008

Aside from Steve Carell's role in LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, I haven't seen any of films starring the various Office cast members (MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND? Looked dumb... WALK HARD? Killed by bad reviews... LICENSE TO WED? Do I really have to have a reason? HORTON and EVAN? No thanks).

I am kind of curious to see LEATHERHEADS, though. Maybe it's because I used to play football, or because I enjoy a "screwball" comedy, or maybe just because the cast looks solid. The reviews, however, haven't been very kind (currently earning a whipping 55% freshness rating at Rotten Tomatoes).

Still, 96% of critics drooled over JUNO, so what the hell do they know, right? (-_^)

Anyone see the film? What did you think?

I agree with everyone. I saw it and I thought it was good. It was entertaining and made me laugh. I agree that as it went on it started to drag, but overall liked it

Dan In Real Life wasn\'t too bad. It kind of fell apart at the end, but it was mostly charming. And Horton was excellent. I took my 7 year old and I liked it more than he did. During the movie I asked, \"So, do you think they are going to be able to save Whoville?\" and he replied \"It\'s a kid movie. They always have a happy ending.\" So much for making conversation!

Haven\'t seen Leatherheads yet and will probably wait till the DVD comes out. However, just wanted to mention that my wife and I caught up with Dan In Real Life last weekend and really enjoyed it. Carrell was great, not over the top but played a real believable, sympathetic, human character with real comic charm.

I just saw Dan in Real Life as well. Maybe because I had such low expectations going in I actually found myself enjoying it. It was good for a family-friendly comedy.

I saw Leatherheads last night, and i quite enjoyed it. It\'s not bad by any means, and its much better than License to Wed. Some parts were a bit slow, but it didn\'t feel long to me. (twss) I expected a bit more from the end, but overall i thought it was a pretty fun film.

I watched the advanced screening on Tuesday and I must say that I liked it. It was a screwball comedy, like you mentioned, and it wasn\'t trying to be anything else. The two funniest moments belonged to our boy Krasinski. Even my husband liked it. My only complaint is that the movie was kind of long (almost two hours) so some parts dragged.
