How Do You Know? (When You Make a Bad Movie) –Guest Post

So last night I watched this movie starring Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson, Jack Nicholson, and, one of my absolute faves, Reese Witherspoon (who played a softball player. Anyone else find that weird? Reese doesn’t seem like the softball type).

With this cast you would expect this movie to be great! Or at least good, or funny, or entertaining. I mean come on! Who doesn’t enjoy a Reese Witherspoon movie?

Or a movie she does with Paul Rudd like “Overnight Delivery,” which Autumn and I stumbled upon one fateful afternoon. Such. A. Good. Movie.

But unfortunately the movie I saw last night, “How Do You Know,” was neither good, nor funny, or entertaining. I was mostly just confused on what was happening and why characters did the things they did or reacted to things the way they did.

Just overall confusion about a very slow and excessively long movie.

Bottom line: don’t be fooled by this fantastic cast. “How Do You Know” is a dud.

But I do still love Reese. Legally Blonde anyone?

Or Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde?

Or Water for Elephants?

Or Penelope?

Or Just Like Heaven?

Or Sweet Home Alabama?

Cut her some slack.

And Paul Rudd! He plays Mike Hannigan in the best show ever: FRIENDS! He marries Phoebe, so definitely cut him some slack.

My name is Porky, and I approve this message.
