MOVIE REVIEW - THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE
Ok I am not drunk, not enthusiastic, and I am taking a break from boring work.....we'll struggle through this post together.
I recently saw The Time Traveler's Wife, and I have to give it a bit rating. It really was a pretty good movie, but I am not a fan of Debbie Downer movies, and this one definitely falls into that category. First though lets focus on the positives. Rachel McAdams was the perfect pick for this role. She has pretty much mastered the weak teary eyed conflicted love interest; The Family Stone, Wedding Crashers, The Notebook. Don't get me wrong I love Rach, but one does have to admit that she is the go to girl of the moment for this type of roll. Next we have Eric Bana. Not only is Eric dreamy, but we get to see a lot of his ass in this movie, because when one time travels their clothes don't go with them duh. I think he's an ok actor, but with his looks and naked butt throughout the whole movie who cares. It's like Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise. Sure he's pretty good, but considering how good he looked sans shirt in a cowboy hat who cares! He could have had a speech impediment in that movie and no one would have noticed. The last positive of the movie was the way Eric phased in and out of time, fabulous.
Onto the cons of the movie. What kind of a stupid beotch mopes around while her husband is off streaking through time? Seriously. He is such a typical man! You know what I's sayin ladies. "Oh I couldn't help but pass through time. It's not my fault I missed your birthday. It's not my fault I phased into the vagina of a woman in the future; she was just there when I landed!"
Also, the ending wah wah. I can't really say much since I don't want to spoil it, but ugh. I am glad it didn't end all Disney, but who wants to leave a movie so depressed! Movies should be an escape from reality, not forcing us to analyze our own crappy relationships! Boooo. This is why this movie only gets a bit out of a bitch.
I should have written this directly after the movie, when I had to go to the bar and get smashed in order to try and cheer myself up. don't judge, isn't that what everyone does after a depressing movie? It's for this reason I have yet to see Monster with Charlize Theron. Not only was I pissed they didn't cast an actual ugly actress in the role, come on the gorgeous starlets even get the ugly roles (?), but I would have to drink myself into a comma to get over that one. Personally I love happy feel good movies like Little Miss Sunshine. You know a movie where someone dies, gets thrown in the trunk of a car, child stripping, crushed dreams, and failed suicide. Now that is a feel good movie!
Luvubitch!
