Something more fun

[erilyn]

Got some useful stuff done with hnix and sinbrat yesterday, so we rewarded ourself with renting On The Line, a romantic comedy (a genre I'm notall that fond of anyway) starring Lance and Joey. We were prepared to hate it, to make judicious use of the ffwd button, and to mock it a lot("").

It really isn't too bad. I've seen far worse. We laughed and were entertained (and mocked as well, cause...c'mon!). And whoever said, in the reviews at amazon.com, that Lance Bass is "thoroughly unconvincing as a human being" obviously has a) way to high expectations of romantic comedies, and b) a serious grudge. Cause he's fine in the role. Joey is more fun, but he's playing the wacky sidekick, and not carrying the movie. I'd actually recommend this movie (in an "if you're in the mood for a undemanding silly fun movie" way), and not just to pop fans. Though the appearance of Justin and Chris in the credits is the absolute highlight, natch ;)

However, the universe makes no sense if Lance is straight. Luckily, I'm thinking there's not much danger of that.

And meelie, sorry we watched this without you. But we'll watch it again. In fact, I'd buy a copy if I could find it on sell-through in Australia, grrrrrrrr.

It's okay...I understand...::sobs::

No really, not too worried about it, though if you're gonna watch it again invite me round. I'll keep an eye out for it ex-rental at the local video stores if you like.

Oooh, if you see it, let me know. I'd prefer the dvd, for capping purposes and cause the making of the video in the extras is adorable. Lance has never been gayer, and there is JoLa cuteness. Actually, there's JoLa cuteness all the way through the movie, too :)
