I was dumb enough to volunteer for a screening of John Cusack’s new movie and ye, sucks pretty bad. He should’ve stuck to being low-budget absurd and focused more on the writing. There’s a lot of money in this production and it’s wasted on a flat script. I can’t believe Mark Leyner had a hand in this. The real jokes are few and the transparency of Marisa Tomei’s character for Cusack’s crush on Naomi Klein is the stupidest plot driver since being caught masturbating in a pie. I have a crush on her too but jeez…. Ben Kingsley and sister Joan can’t push the slapstick hard enough either. This could’ve been good but it’s bungle city.
Your blog is interesting!
