Hi Neil! Your comment is probably good warning...Ha! Hi Neil! Your comment is probably good warning. There have been comedies that I've brought home that made hubs suspend my video rental license, so one should always suspect my wide-ranging comedy tastes. (Even though he enjoyed this one, too. And neither of us are particularly Martin Short fans.)<br /><br />That being said, although I often say that "expectation is everything" regarding movie enjoyment, it really isn't. Because who you see it with can definitely impact how you feel about it. I learned this after telling a friend that a particular movie was awesome, funny, and scary. We watched it together and not only did she not enjoy it, *I* didn't enjoy it that time around. It seemed stupid, shallow, and lame. The movie? American Werewolf in London. At first I thought maybe it just didn't hold up well, but then watched it yet again a few years later and was able to enjoy it again as a classic of horror comedy. Apparently her waves of disapproval were so strong that they clouded my experience.Sue Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12820606642097170654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636566.post-59471922169953414712011-04-04T11:42:18.905-05:002011-04-04T11:42:18.905-05:00I remember taking friends to see this, planning fo...I remember taking friends to see this, planning for it to be stupid fun and better than the crappy=looking trailers promised. Sadly, I was, um, not looked upon kindly by my friends afterwards. I thought it was laughless and lifeless. Maybe, maybe, someday, I will give it another chance because of your review. What you wrote is how I wanted to feel about it, but didn't. And don't.That Neil Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00282313787969964446noreply@blogger.com
