audience reaction: The audience enjoyed this Rom/Com Action movie.
recommendation: I liked this movie, too. This movie is suited for young adults and high school age kids.
spoiler alert! In the picnic scene, there was too much food when the couple looked more interested in doing something else. In the house fight, either one of the two could have easily used a pair of balusters as defense/assault weapons. When Jen drove off in the Escalade, she forgot that it was supposed to be a stolen car and, hence, it had to be hot-wired to get it started. But she acted like it had a key in the ignition. How did that couple ever get to be professional hit-men? I'm thinking it was just played for laughs but--come on! Let's get real--or realistic, okay? How could one of them afford to hire so many hit-men and, on top of all that, still be able to put-up a 20 million dollar reward on the target? You don't punch-out your neighbor like that and for such a reason. With all that shooting and property damage in an upscale neighborhood, you'd expect the cops to get there a.s.a.p! But, where were they? ( Bad cops, no doughnuts for you! )
fyi: Last night, when I got home, as I was taking stuff out of my car in my carport, I heard five gun shots! I ducked for cover, then hurried inside. And the night before last, when I was at my computer, I also heard five gun shots. And, nope, the cops didn't show-up in either case--and this is not even an upscale neighborhood like the one in this movie. And all the doughnut shops were closed for the evening. So, what was their excuse for not showing-up?
FIRST RESPONSE. What kind of a name is that for a pregnancy test kit? 'Sounds like a Special Ops strike force to me.
If I were a trailer-trash slut bimbo wannabe-whore and I found out that I just got myself pregnant, my "first response" would likely be, Oh, sh*t! my dad's gonna kill me! Ha, ha, ha---( snort! ).
word of advice: Don't rush into marriage.
Looks can be deceiving.
tidbits: Before the show, I went to Chase Bank on Tennessee Street to make a deposit. Then, I went to the main Post Office to put a "vacation hold" on my mail. And I went to Empire Buffet for lunch because I haven't seen the owner's daughter in so long. Yup! she's still lookin' hot as ever. I gotta get her name one of these days.
After the movie, as I got on the freeway on my way to Springs Road, I noticed a ladybug crawling on the outside of my Geo Metro's windshield. My gradual increase in speed didn't blow it away. Even at 65 mph, it was still crawling on my windshield. As I slowed down to get onto the Springs Road exit, it flew off; I guess it had reached its destination. What a lazy-bug!
I bought a $4.00 gallon of water at the water store adjacent to the UPS STORE on Springs Road, just to try it out. Whoever thought that someday a gallon of water would end up costing more than a gallon of premium gas and banked on it must be rolling around in some serious dough now. Then, I bought a set of combs, a twin-pack of soap and a disinfectant spray at the 99 CENT ONLY STORE. Finally, it was off to the city of Benicia via Columbus Parkway on-ramp.
At my place of work, I put in a request for three extra days on my vacation because I'm forced to start my trip rather late. Oh, well ... better late than never, they always say.
While in Benicia, I also bought a "top-up" card for my Virgin Mobile cellphone.
