Don’t Watch This Movie

Since Mark is here from Saudi Arabia, I’m sensitized to the differences between a closed society and an open one.  That’s why watching the movie, This Means War*, starring Reese Witherspoon, tonight made me cringe.  Not only was this a poor choice on my part, it’s puerile and mostly non-funny.  We have this powerful tool, freedom of expression, and we use it to produce drivel like this?  We should be ashamed.

Not everything needs to be Citizen Kane or To Kill a Mockingbird, but it should at least exhibit some basic intelligence.   Not only should you avoid this movie, you should question my judgment in first selecting it, then watching it.  Yecccch.

 A career lowlight for all three of its likable stars, This Means War is loud, clumsily edited, and neither romantic nor funny.
