Title: Unfunny, Unforgettable Torture
Product review: I give this film an extra star because it has one decent scene between Tripp (McConaughey) and his mother (Kathy Bates), where Mom says Tripp served as a buffer between her and his father (Terry Bradshaw), and now she's concerned that his father won't like her if Tripp leaves.It was the only genuine moment in an incredibly plastic picture.There are some funny moments, like when Tripp's father calls Sarah Jessica Parker a tramp, and offers to take Tripp out in the woods and shoot him to save some money. The scene with the Star Wars nerd and Parker on a paid date is entertaining: she plays Darth Vader's march on a kazoo, and he gets all overexcited. Then she ditches him. Zooey Deschanel plays Parkers' kooky roommate (sister?) Kit, and has the right stuff with Tripp's friend Ace (Justin Bartha) in a funny scene where they almost kill a mockingbird. The Daily Show's Rob Corddrey shows up to explain why the joke is funny to anyone still enjoying the film.
