A story about this — 3 years ago
Prepare to be agape for practically the entire duration of this film. Just when you can’t believe they did X, they go and do Y, which was ten times worse than X. A black comedy if there ever was one.
I, personally, was inclined to leap through my television screen and knock off a number of characters. Luckily, Peter Berg was a few steps ahead of me.
The women in the previews for the new show “Bridezilla” have nothing—and I mean nothing—on Cameron Diaz’s bride-to-be. If I were her fiancé, I would have called the wedding off at the nervous-breakdown-over-padded-chairs incident, if not long before. The young crippled children? A waste of Medicaid. Each and every insecure male moment? Oh, my ears.
The inability to tear your eyes away from the next debacle, coupled with multiple clever one-liners, made this worth watching once. The look on your friends’ faces the first time they see it makes it worth watching again.
The moral of the story? “The cool cucumber stays alive.”
