Alright, if anyone needs a cheesy, unlikely romantic comedy to mock, MST3T style, check out "Only You". Marissa Tomei, Robert Downey Jr., Bonnie Hunt... It's fabulous. Greg, Auedrah, Fitz and I just finished watching it, me mocking continuously, Fitz whining about my mocking, Auedrah and Greg (in a happy little bubble of new love) occasionally interjecting comments about Fitz and I being like an old married couple. Gag.
But yeah. The plot goes like this: Faith has been trusting destiny her entire life. Since she was 11, she's been looking for a man named Damon Bradley, at the suggestion of a Ouija board. When a gypsy at a fun fair reiterates the name to Faith, she thinks that she is destined to find him. 14 years later, she is engaged to be married to a proctologist. He's not Damon Bradley. 10 days before her wedding, Faith gets a call from a friend of her fiancee (whose name escapes me; he was a small role and an icky character) who is going to Venice and won't be able to make it to the wedding. His name? Damon Bradley.
So, Faith, along with her sister-in-law and best friend, Kate, go to Venice. Because, after all, it's destiny. They troop around Rome for a while, and finally, after losing a shoe, Faith and Damon meet. One problem. Damon is actually Peter Reid. Much madcap hilarity and many mistaken identities (one played by Billy Zane; yum) later, Faith finally meets the real Damon, just in time to realize that she's in love with Peter.
Say it with me: Awwwwwwwwww.
It's cute. It's fluffy. It's mockable. I give it two thumbs up.
Movies like this make me miss Erin. She would have been mocking with me all the way. Fitz doesn't appreciate the greatness of a good mock. He was all whiny about how I was ruining the movie with my constant jabber. But seriously? Pilazo pants? Deserve to be mocked. And a man who says he's in love with a woman five hours (if that) after meeting her? Deserves to be mocked. And Billy Zane with Michael Bolton hair? Deserves to be mocked. Especially when he's rubbing tanning oil on his ohsowelldefinedandlickable pecs and upper arms.
Aaaaah. That was so just exactly the movie I needed to see at this cold and freezing junction of my life. Check it out. Mock it up. And I'll catch you on the flip side.
bff,
