On The Couch 2011 #5: Wedding Daze

When I told a friend I watched Wedding Daze, the expression on his face was pained and sympathetic as he shook and head and said “No. No. No.”

Yeah, that about sums up Wedding Daze.

I really like Michael Ian Black, who wrote and directed Wedding Daze, but I can’t recommend this movie to anyone. It’s not very good at all and not that funny.

Funnier Michael Ian Black project.

The strangest parts of Wedding Daze are when Black throws in gross-out scenes that seem to come from nowhere, as if just to say “In case you forgot this is a Michael Ian Black picture, here you go.”

I watched Wedding Daze at the tail end of a marathon movie watching session on the couch and was in my own daze. I watched it right after finishing Suburbia and kept forgetting which characters were in each movie.

Funnier thing also written by Michael Ian Black.

Between Blue Crush and Wedding Daze, we have strong early contenders for Worst Movie On The Couch 2011. I really didn’t like Blue Crush at all, but I didn’t doze off a couple of time during Blue Crush either, so I may have to give the dubious distinction to Wedding Daze

On The Couch 2011 #3: Blue Crush

I ran a half marathon on the morning of the day that I saw Blue Crush. This movie is a testament to what I will sit through instead of forcing my body to get up and find the remote control after I run a half marathon.

It’s really hard to express just how a bad a movie Blue Crush is.

Defenders of the movie will say “You don’t watch Blue Crush for the story. You watch it for the girls in bikinis.” Which girls? Kate Bosworth is the best looking of the trio and that really isn’t saying much. I’ve never found Michelle “DUI” Rodriguez attractive out of a bikini. It turns out nothing changes when you put her in one. And the third girl looks like one of the aliens that created the clone army in Star Wars Episode 2.

It’s hard to tell which one costarred in Blue Crush.

I totally missed that the younger sister was supposed to be 15. She looks like she’s 11. The scenes where older guys are hitting on her were disgusting when I thought she was 11, but still gross when I found out she was 15. Statutory rape isn’t cool any way you slice it.

Hawaii looks really nice in Blue Crush. But that’s no reason to watch this movie. If your goal is to forget about this cold winter by watching a movie set in a tropic locale, watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall instead. It’s funny, has cuter girls, and Paul Rudd is in it, which are three of many things lacking in Blue Crush.

Better movie.
