On Vox: Movie thoughts: For Your Consideration

For Your Consideration

Just finished watching this, and I have to say I was dissappointed.  I really enjoyed 'Best in Show', 'A Mighty Wind' and pretty much all of Guest & Co's other works.  But this movie only had a few giggles.

I think the problem was too much script.  Instead of letting his team of improvisers go crazy with the subject, this movie seemed to have so much going on that they never got their moments.  The best parts were with the spoofs of the entertainment talk shows. 

I'll admit, I did jump up during John Krasinksi's cameo because I didn't know he was in it.  And Ricky Gervais also carried his scenes very well.  But a lot of this was just painful to watch. 

I wanted to laugh, I really did.  But this one just didn't do anything for me.

Also, I opened all of the toys I bought back before my birthday, since it was safe. And I have to say - Lucasbooks, you marketing machine, I have a request for you. Can you please publish a book of all the box art on the toy packaging? I love the little Galactic Heroes and the Unleashed Battle Pack artwork. Please, make me stop clipping them and just put out a book! I know I'm not the only one who would buy it! Please!
