favorite scene:  I liked the non-sex stupidly funny Marathon scene! I cracked-up watching it.

audience reaction:  The audience thought that it was funny, as it did have some funny moments. Although, mostly, of a prurient nature.
 
recommendation:  I liked it, somewhat, but not as much as I would have liked it because of its nature. Adam Sandler really "lowered the bar" with this Sleaze-Fest Comedy.  This movie grates intentionally on people's moral sensibilities. But, then again, how many people out there actually have had such sexual fantasies, both fulfilled and unfulfilled? If you want to see this movie, don't say that you haven't been warned. You really have to be a hardcore Adam Sandler fan to want to see this.

spoiler alert!  Don't tell me that they didn't know that there was a school assembly going on. With the money that he was making, you'd think that Todd would have enough of it to get rid of his tattoo! The beer can that Donny pulled out of the nightstand drawer was cold when it should have been warm--it produced a cold vapor when he popped it open. Semen doesn't stay thick and white for long; it turns into a clear liquid after a short time ( Don't ask me how I know because, if you're a guy, then, you already know--lol! ). How could Donny hear what his incarcerated lover was saying when he didn't even get to use the phone first? Why couldn't Todd just call a taxi for a ride home? The ice cream should have melted by then! I was really hoping that Vanilla Ice would do a Song and Dance number!

fyi:  Wearing a bathing suit in the shower is common--and considered normal--in the Philippines. Ha, ha, ha.

Alright, how many of you out there know that Herve Villechaize, a.k.a. Tattoo, was half Pilipino and half French?

I found this on the Internet. By the way, I can do a pretty good voice impression of Herve while singing to the Double Dutch Bus song! Ha, ha, ha.

Tell me of any normal hot-blooded teenage boy who never had sexual fantasies involving a beautiful, hot and sexy teacher, and I'll tell you that you're either lying or the teenage boy you speak of is of a different sexual orientation.

I had this teacher, Miss O., back in the Philippines when I was around thirteen years of age, who was so beautiful, hot and sexy! She was such a beauty that, had she been a few inches taller, she would have easily qualified as a Miss Philippines contestant. And she was quite a flirt! A few times during lunch break in my home room, she would ask for a bite of my lunch as she would stroke my upper thigh in the presence of my female classmates. Needless to say, I was a "little stiffy" around her--ha, ha, ha. ( She went on to marry an old man--lucky old fart! )

word of advice:  Act like a responsible adult before you procreate.

tidbits:  After the movie, I swung by the Postal Annex a few doors down to pick-up my final mail because today, at 2:30 p.m., it will officially go out of business since its owner, Mike, is retiring--his wife is making him do it.

His employee was there by herself. I asked if Mike was around because I wanted to say, Goodbye, and to wish him luck in his retirement. But the employee said that he left early because he was getting too emotional to stick around to meet-and-greet well-wishers such as myself. I wish him only the best. He was a good business owner. And his business was one of the original businesses, if not the first business, in this shopping center, well before the theatre was even built! I will miss him.

Then, I went to the local AAA office to pay the monthly on my car insurance.

And I went to the Springstowne location Post Office to drop-off my Driver's License renewal.

And I had lunch at Selecta Pilipino Buffet on Springs Road.

Then, I walked next door to the 99-Cent Only Store to buy some stuff.

Before I went home, I went to the Goin' Postal shop to check on my mail as I was expecting the delivery of an important package. It hadn't arrived yet.

And I stepped into the Lucky's Supermarket next door to buy a Mango/Peach Frozen Yogurt because it was a hot day today and I had a craving for something really cold and creamy.
