Movie #336 - Just Married

Just Married
2003 - Rated PG-13 - 1 hr 35 min
Director: Shawn Levy
Starring: Ashton Kutcher, Brittany Murphy, Christian Kane, David Moscow

This movie did two things:

1. I miss Brittany Murphy.
2. Secretly, I'd pick Christian Kane over Ashton Kutcher. Any day.

But Kane plays the "bad" guy (darn), so that doesn't happen.  Murphy chooses the goofy guy and their honeymoon implodes on itself.  What annoys me most about this movie is Kutcher's total ignorance.  Watching this objectively, basically everything that happens on the honeymoon is his fault.  He starts the fire with that stupid plug, he drives into the snowbank, he ditches her to watch a baseball game... She should go with Kane, but she's apparently crazy in love with Kutcher. The heart wants what it wants, I guess.

The first time I saw this, I thought it was just one of those slapstick kinda comedies, with a side of romance. But watching it again, I'm a bit irritated with Kutcher.  Maybe it's because I'm now married and have survived a honeymoon and would kill my husband if he did these things.  Murphy's just too damn nice to him and he's a giant tool box.

Movie #174 - Dude, Where's My Car?

Dude, Where's My Car?
2000 - Rated PG-13 - 1 hr 23 min
Director: Danny Leiner
Starring: Ashton Kutcher, Seann William Scott, Jennifer Garner, Kristy Swanson, Hal Sparks

This movie is screaming to be a drinking game. Every time someone says 'dude' you drink. Of course, 45 minutes in you'd be suffering from liver failure. But it would be fun for a little while, right?

These two lovable idiots wrote the book on crazy nights you forget in the morning (hey, writers of The Hangover.... I'm looking at you.)  Of course, it's stoner-riffic and extremely dated. Does anyone say "shibby" anymore? I don't even think I know what that means.  But you can't help but laugh at the ridiculous characters, plot twists, and one-note dialogue. 

And come on. Every time you can't remember where you parked, you know you ask "Dude, where's my car?" just because it seems like the thing to say.  It's nice to have this movie to remember the year 2000, isn't it?
