Stupid Movie Sundays

Campbell loves to wake up at the crack of dawn on Sundays, and just 'hang out'. Of course nothing but infomercials are on regular TV, so we've taken to renting the 'straight-to-video' comedies hoping for a good chuckle with our morning coffee... Just to spare anyone a few hours of your lives, a couple of must NOT sees for your lists....


At least this one has some good Belle and Sebastian and Scissor Sisters in the soundtrack...and perhaps two or three LOLs in the American Pie vain... but when you wonder why you don't remember this one in theaters, it's a good sign that you're not missing anything..


I really like Dane Cook, too... I thought this would have a few good laffs.. I guess if you like Bugs Bunny cartoons with real life people.. you know, where he gets smashed by falling tons of bricks, runs into the fake road painted on the side of the building and ends up landing on TNT.


As an aside.. Justin and I tried to have a little at-home-date-night since we haven't been to a movie for a lonnng time... and of course, rented another loser. I don't think this movie could have moved any slower. Reese's fake pregnant belly and acting were super bad and the whole thing, even with it's creepily real non-fiction story base was just a big snoozefest.

Date night

We can't remember that last time we went to the movies together. So, after a weekend of me questioning whether I'm turning INTO a baby (emotional freak outs ranging from crying at the little league commercial on TV to throwing a little-kid-style fit that I wasn't invited with Justin and his guy friends out on Friday night) or if I'm ready to HAVE a baby..which, BTW, I'm not. Can't it just stay in there? It is such an awesome feeling to know it's growing and comfy in there, doing somersaults, kicking, stretching, yawning... and my life is still relatively quiet...and still MINE.. for the most part. I have no option but to soak it in while it lasts, right? Don't get me wrong, I'm getting more and more excited about the future of our family of 4, and all of the adventures in store.. but I think it is just an emotional "changing of the guard" in my mindset. So, in honor of our changing circumstances, we took advantage of a night on our own to see Knocked Up. Cliche? Perhaps, but it was hilarious.
