Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I'm a big fan of justice. That's right...I like things to always be justicey. So when I recently watched the Ben Stiller film "The Heartbreak Kid" on HBO I was outraged. When that film came out it was panned. Rotten Tomatoes lists it at 30%, Yahoo Movies gave it a C, my friends and family that saw it didn't like it, and even my go-to-guy Roger Ebert gave it two out of five stars.
Well they are all mistaken. And I'm here to fight for justice. This movie is Funny! I laughed out loud, by myself, late at night (a tough environment for a comedy to win me over). Besides the fact that I think Ben Stiller is so good he could have made "Norbit" a classic, the Farrelly Brothers have made their funniest film since "There's Something About Mary". The cast is great...Jerry Stiller, Michele Monaghan is one of my favorite new actresses (Mission Impossible III and Gone Baby Gone), and if you don't know who the hilarious Danny McBride is you should.
So there it is. Rent it, watch it on HBO on demand, watch it for free online. Just see it and then tell me I was right. Please.
I feel better now that I've fought for Justin...I mean Justice.

I bet you also liked "Being There"...
this is Lizzy and Hayleigh in Spain. We took time out of Lizzy's vacay to watch this ...and it was the WORST MOVIE EVER. If somebody had spent two consecutive hours farting on screen, it would have been more entertaining. Every time I saw Michelle Monaghan, I realized more and more how much the movie industry has gone to shit. If I was Ebert, I would have given it BLACK HOLES, which is technically a negative star. Jeff said if he was standing beside you he would smack you in the face.
just kidding. we didn't watch it, and we think your blog is awesome. and we miss you. LOVE!
