Bad Teacher (2011)
Love that Lucy Punch!
I love the film: Cameron Diaz is sassy, bitchy, seductive, and funny. JT rocks as a doofus (is that the real JT?), And Jason S. is his usual great self. But the KILLER is Lucy Punch who steals all the scenes she's in. I did not know much of her until this film, but she's got great comic chops!
She captures every nuance of the meddling, officious, pandering sheep out there. Her comic timing is right on in every way--particularly her cheerful covering up every time she realizes Elizabeth has once again bested her. Her giving Elizabeth hell for Scott's succumbing to Elizabeth's tempting the naive twit is classic.
The movie won't get critical raves, but it's a well-done romantic comedy.
Love, Wedding, Marriage (2011)
It's a great, great new way of telling a romantic story,
Being a hopeless romantic and having a huge crush on Ms. Moore, I loved this movie as I do everything she's in. To see Mandy's career arc placing her in the ranks of the top actors is a tribute to her talent. Her sweetness, femininity, vulnerability, goodness--even bawdiness at times--assures her longevity as an actor. The wide spectrum of roles she's had--from A Walk to Remember, to Southland, to Dedication, to Tanlged shows the depth of her natural acting skills.
May we enjoy Mandy for a long time to come and may she put out another album soon!
Love Wedding Marriage leaves its mark as a a creative way to show the boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back formula, and it succeeds because of all the assembled talent and because of Mr. Mulroney's fine direction.
Oh--the movie? It was fun, fun, fun through the romance, conflict and romance. Loved it, loved it.
