Do Not Do as the Romans (When in Rome)

I am going to repeat what Roger Ebert said about Ocean's Thirteen: "This movie is so stuck up on itself, it won't even ask itself out on a date." Neither Duhamel or Kristen Bell hold my attention for longer than ten minutes seconds, before I start thinking about how I am going to write a review without apologizing for having seen the film. But I won't apologize for having seen the flick. When you watch movies like this, you know what you're getting into. And I'm starting to think that I have a fetish for bad movies. I just like to go and see the badness played out in all its commercial mediocrity. I don't know if I so much laugh at the unfunny jokes-- Duhamel's character's cell phone going off in the middle of a wedding (as if that were hilarious... HAHA) -- or if I go to laugh at the people who laugh at these jokes.

Also, maybe it's just me but Josh Duhamel is not attractive looking. I don't know how he got in this film for any other reason than that he was a fashion model. But not even that warrants his being "attractive." He just doesn't do it for me. But Dax Shepard OTOH is crazy hott. Ironically Bell's character is most repelled by him, while she's been dating him for the past three years in real life. Don't ask me how i know that! I just make it my business to know who Dax Shepard is dating at any one time. I loved him ever since Let's Go to Prison, which was far more hilarious than this film.
