Last night was Game Night and we decided to go see “License to Wed,” or rather Tomas suggested it and nobody vetoed it, so we got stuck watching it.

We went to dinner first at Chili’s and some of us had some drinks… some delicious drinks. I was not happy about watching a movie in the hood (Highland Mall, aka High Crime Mall). That place is horrible for movies because it always happens that some family… usually Latinos (yes I wrote it!) is sitting near us yapping on their cell phones and letting their 35 children run up and down the aisles screaming. It ALWAYS happens… although Eric swears it never does.

Knowing that we would later be watching the movie in the hood, I took the opportunity to protect myself. I took the fruit pick stick thing from my drink and sharpened it on the table grout to make a shank. It was a large fruit pick, so it worked out well. I tucked it behind my ear just in case of trouble.

As we pulled into the theater parking lot, the freaks were already on display. Some crazy vagrant with a backpack waved at my sister, with all kinds of excitement, as she was parking. There was also a very odd couple, one in a wheelchair and one wearing an Asian pointy rice patty hat, wandering the parking lot. I was thankful for my shank.

Later in the theater we sat in the middle towards the back. It was just us four and two white women four rows in front of us. A little while later some suspect looking Latino youths came in and sat RIGHT BEHIND US. They had the entire theater to chose from and decided to sit right behind us and LOUD TALK as if there wasn’t a movie showing. There was no cell phone involved or 35 children screaming, but close enough… and I took the shank from behind my ear and held it close… just in case.

The didn’t stay long, maybe only 20 minutes, so I put the shank away… only to later pull it back out and try to get up the courage to stab myself just so I wouldn’t have to watch that lame movie anymore.

I didn’t expect much from the movie to begin with because that idiot Robin Williams is in it, but I expected it would at least be somewhat quality because of all the people from The Office were in it, and Mandy Moore, but it was so lame and so predictable and cliche.

Robin Williams is extremely annoying and has no range. He always plays the same over the top character. Mandy Moore seems to always have wardrobe people that hate her because the poor girl dresses horribly in every movie. John Krasinski plays basically the same character he is on The Office, but he’s really the only interesting thing about this movie.

Anyway, this movie was dumb and there was really no point. You know what’s going to happen and it’s not interesting. There is a lot of wasted talent in this movie.

Tonight I’m (hopefully) just going to go home, relax, and watch So You Think You Can Dance.
