Do you think Ben and Jen watch this movie like its a home video?
"Look, kids! This is how your mother and I met!"
"Dad, you're a superhero?"
"Only on TV. But look, it's our first kiss, Jen!"
"Ben, you know that was like, Take 15 or 20, right?"
"No one needs to know that, honey."
See, I've got the whole awkward scene in my head now. In any event, this movie's one of those comic-book-turned-film messes. It's not all bad - it does have Stan Lee in it, can you spot him? - and the fighting scenes kick ass. But really, is my life enriched by this movie? Not particularly. I'm glad it was useful for Hollywood match-making (and to let Jennifer Garner take Alias to the big screen, more or less), but I could live without it. You know?
I seem to be alone in my appreciation of this one. It's got a little too much crammed into it but I think it's been underrated.
ReplyDeleteI love your Ben & Jen at home dialogue :)
