I'll not be watching this as it looks st.
Even though M's Diaz is in it lick and Trousersnake I'll go out my way to avoid all reference to it.

I just saw the cast being interviewed on T4 and one of the cast, Lucy Punch, has the most annoying real life English accents I've heard. shoot really forced and clipped. irked
(I've just seen on IMDB that she lives in the States so that kind of explains it.)

This is more of a rant about her accent than the film. Saying that I saw Diaz on Grahame Norton and she's really irritating! shoot

I'm just grumpy I guess. frown

But I feel better now. smile

(Lucy was quite fit though, so as long as her mouth is busy all should be well)

scratchchin Maybe I should have just posted this in things that annoy you thread?

Meh.

Saw the trailer the other day - I felt a little bit like I'd seen all the best bits of the film ??

I love Cameron Diaz. She's hot and has got a wonderfully goofy laugh, always makes me chuckle.laugh

For a moment there I thought you were saying Lucy Punch wasn't worth a squirt.



But then I realised that would be insanity! tongue outwink

I had the "pleasure" of watching this on the weekend. If you haven't seen it and don't want spoilers then look away now.













This film had the most screwed up logic and message.

- Elizabeth is a bh, there's no two ways about it and maybe i'm supposed to feel some empathy towards her but I really did not. I was hoping quite the opposite and i'm not so sure the director intended for that.

- She cheats on exam, keeps the money, gets away with it and there's no repercussions. Is the message that cheats do in fact prosper?

- Her rival teacher Miss Squirrel was a decent person and she got completely st on.

- Under-development of characters, they could have used that girl in her class who was her younger clone a bit more but nothing happened there.

- The ending really didn't tie together. It just ended pretty abruptly.

I don't expect much from comedies and in fact it was not a film i'd have seen out of my choice. But after sitting through it, I couldn't help but feel it was pretty absurd. Oh...and Diaz is really looking a bit aged now too. She's still got the legs but the rest of her isn't that great.

A mate of mine went to see this and his review on FB was, "Watch the trailer, save yourself a tenner - the trailer contains ALL the best bits!"
