The wife read Must Love Dogs and wanted to see the movie, so I agreed to go.  After all, it has John Cusack in it, and he was in one of the ultimate romance movies (Say Anything), so I figured it wouldn't be too bad.

The previews were for more romantic comedies.  Surprise, surprise.

If you're a guy being dragged to MLD, you won't hate it.  It's funny enough to keep you interested.

It's got all the generic parts of the average romance comedy:  divorcees, meddling family members, widowed parent dating again, the right guy, the wrong guy, the Big Mistake, the ridiculous coincidence, and at the end, the Crazy Thing Done To Win Them Back.

I give it $6.50 (out of $10.00).  Unfortunately, I paid $8.00.  $16.00, if you count the wife's ticket. 

The extra 50 cents, by the way, were for all the doggies.

Especially this one:

I'll watch any movie with John Cusack in it. I was going to watch High Fidelity tonight, but I can't find my copy. Last week, i couldn't find the book, and I had to go buy a new copy, now I can't find my DVD.

BTW,

It's funny... for a long time, I'd only seen Better Off Dead once in full... then I saw it on Comedy Central a lot.  It wasn't until I bought the DVD that I remembered all the stuff that Comedy Central cuts out.

Diane Franklin was sooooooooo cute in that movie.

Oh, and BTW,

If Diane Franklin was the French chick, she forever soiled her image by accepting the role of the biggest bitch in an 80's film in The Last American Virgin.

Doing a GIS for Diane Franklin results in some of the afore mentioned nude shots.

Also, there is http://www.dianefranklin.com.

And she was cute as a button in Better Off Dead and Bill and Ted.

But still, in that one movie...

Actually, she didn't.  That was a voice double.  The real singer was the chick who played Pee-Wee's girlfriend in PW's Big Adventure.  She's also the vocalist that did Smelly Cat in one episode of Friends.
