My So-Called Homeschool

OK, I’m actually live-blogging this review. What does that say about the movie? I wasn’t really that interested in it, but thought Squid might enjoy it — and he does. As for me, can I borrow a phrase from Ree and say “hiney cringe”? The jokes telegraph from a mile a way, the characters are extremely stereotyped, and the humor is, well, guy humor. It does have funny moments, and all four guys are actors I enjoy in comedy. But we’re now 20 minutes into the movie, and I’m ready to go read a book. Squid does seem to be enjoying it (do I know my guy or what?) — and he’s making me watch the whole thing so I can finish this review. Sigh.

Gay cop. Twice. Wonder how many more times he’ll show up.

Real biker bar. Oh, bet there’s gonna be trouble!

Yep. Ray Liotta is trouble.

Movie is moving slooooooow. But the soundtrack is pretty cool. Little Bon Jovi right now is nice.

Last gas for 200 miles, and they just drove off. Not good. Buzzard on the road, really?

When it’s plural, it’s cacti. That was funny.

Chili cookoff karaoke. OK, that was funny too.

Yeah, the second guy to slap the bull is in deep crap. Deep.

Really, it looks like this is another case of all the funny parts were shown in the previews.

Would you like me to do the rest of the review in single sentences? I didn’t think so. I guess I’ll wait til I actually have something interesting to say.

Not! I wonder how many times Squid will say “they are so dead” before the movie is over.

The cameo at the end is worth the whole thing!!!

I guess overall, it is a funny midlife crisis movie. But I would definitely call it a guy movie. It wouldn’t have been worth the price of movie admission. But on DVD, it’s a mindless bit of fun.

Oh my gosh. The credits. I’m peeing my pants!!!

BVHE Publicity provided this movie for the purpose of review. They may think they got gypped on this one.
