Movie Review by Zara

March 13th, 2007

I love the opening to Sweet Caroline

A loser and his loser friends front a small band that plays Neil Diamond songs. OK, that's comedy right there. The fact that the first loser is the straight man loser and played by the guy who stuck his dick in a pie is another piece of comedy. The oddball loser friends being played by Jack Black and Steve Zhan is the next bit of comedy. Mixing in the sometimes attractive Amanda Peet and letting her be a b*tch should have been the triple crown winner.

So what the hell happened?

This movie had what it takes to make an amusing film that people should have remembered for a long time. (It doesn't count if Comedy Central repeats the movie all the time) Yet a good deal of the jokes fall flat, Amanda Peet spends most of her time in ridiculous outfits being either knocked down or having to play the sexpot to the idiot in order to get out of the ropes he has her tied down with.

Jason Biggs has one of the nastiest chips on his shoulder that I've ever seen an actor develop. I'm sorry that he feels it is now beneath him that his claim to fame was his unit in a pastry. But those are the breaks. You don't see Seann William Scott pouting and preening through every single other movie that he's been in just because people prefer to call him Stifler. Them's the breaks, kiddo. Deal with it or get out of the business.

And that whole saving a guy with a nun business? Ew. I don't care how hot the nun is, that's just wrong.
