Well, Sahara was another disappointment. It was totally average. There were a lot of slow parts, and it just didn't grab my attention enough. I mean, it wasn't a bad movie. I enjoyed most of it. But I came away thinking that it should have been a lot better. And that I liked National Treasure a great deal more.
In better news, we went and saw two movies this weekend. The first was Must Love Dogs. I thought it was very well done. Of course it doesn't hurt that John Cusack is fantastic. He was brilliant as usual. But I thought it had that "something" extra. I loved the dialogue, the rich characters, the strong family and father figure...I really really liked this movie. Lacey just thought it was "ok", but she thinks Cusack plays pretty much the same role in all his movies. Which is untrue, but that's ok:) Anyway, as romantic comedies go, I recommend this movie highly.
The second we saw was the 40 year old Virgin. It was purely for comic relief, and fit the bill perfectly. However, be warned. Like Wedding Crashers, this movie is crude...but totally hilarious. I laughed myself sick. In fact, if Wedding Crashers didn't have Vaugh and Wilson (which put it over the top despite a script that wasn't much to shout about), this would have been better. Because the script and use of characters far outdid WC. Steve Carrell is one funny guy. He was fantastic. I mean, funny as hell! Anyway, beware of the R rating, but man, this movie is so freakin' funny...you just have to see it to understand.
