“To me, funerals are like bad movies. They last too long, they’re overreacted, and the ending is predictable.”
~George Burns
Hm. Driving off a cliff in a bad movie would make for a pretty predictable funeral then.
I was watching TV the other day, and Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 (BHC2) was advertised. And I thought: How can these people make money off of this?! I mean, this movie wasn’t even in theaters.
Once upon a time a few years back, my grandparents were really excited about Beverly Hills Chihuahua (BHC. They are Hispanic, and I guess it looked good to them.), and asked my brother and I if we wanted to go. Being polite, we went.
All I have to say is that it was one of those “talking dog with George Lopez cracking off juvenile jokes” sort of movie. I can see how the little kids loved it… And some girl in my grade said it was her all time favorite movie (um, no!).
But what really irks me is when people make sequels. And what really, really irks me is when people make sequels of not very good movies. WHY oh WHY did they make a BHC2?! And if you listen to the commercials, BCH had Drew Barrymore, and BCH2 doesn’t even… The only star is George Lopez. This, I found, was majorly depressing.
Think about it. Every kids movie that had a sequel failed sadly (besides anything from Pixar. They work some magic there.).
And has anyone seen the commercial for ‘The Chaperone’? Again, wasn’t even theaters.
Please. This movie looks so depressingly bad. There are 5th graders running around, and it’s PG-13! Like THAT will attract my age group! Then they make some crack about hugging a guy and “I hope that’s your fanny pack.” Ew. Come on.
So be glad that we are all out of those talking-dog-meets-desperate-middle-school-kid-who-just-wants-an-acting-career-meets-cheesy-animated-comedy movies. There are the kind that skip the DVD Netflix phase and go straight into watch instantly with all the others.
Now for Gigli… Just Kidding.
