I was literally dragged into the theatre this past weekend to see a couple movies my better half has been waiting to see. I guess it's just a ''reflex'' to criticize these horrid movies.
Something occured to me when the credits rolled for The Whole Ten Yards. I am a hater. I also realized that when movies like this come out that I'm left with very little choice. To begin with, it's a mob comedy. Mob comedies fucking blow. Beyond the slight amusement of Analyze That, I personally challenge anyone anywhere to e-mail me and call me out on this matter. Making a comedy out of the mafia is like putting a dildo up the ass of Christ and making him sing showtunes. Oh! I've got your attention now, don't I? Mob comedies take everything great about movies like The Godfather 1 and 2, Goodfellas, Casino, Mean Streets, Miller's Crossing, and any other classic mob flick and ripping the heart and soul out of them. ''The Sopranos'' blends the mafia and comedy perfectly: there's enough laughs to keep you going while showing the proper respect to its predecessors. The Whole Nine Yards was slightly amusing at best. The fun parts were the equivalent of being able to tolerate that loser at work when your co-workers want to meet out for a drink and you've got enough of a buzz to deal with the weenie. Matthew Perry is a very big part of the reason as to why I don't watch ''Friends'', and if I want to see a good movie with Bruce Willis, I'll poop in my copy of 12 Monkeys, (Seriously, his ex is nailing Ashton Kutcher and this is how he tries to get her attention and win her back?!). The Whole Ten Yards wasn't interesting ,and the first one didn't make me wonder, ''what happened next?'' I lost ninety-nine minutes and $5.50-that's lunch, a dump and a nap. Oh well, I'm a firm believer that movies provide just as many lessons as real life does and this one taught me to stay away from mob comedies once and for all.
