Playlist: Four Christmases
I cheated here...I knew this movie was going to be terrible. So I watched it on fast forward. It's a zen like process to watch a film in fast forward, usually a film you have seen before is ok...but one you haven't, and sucks, and is terrible, only takes 25 minutes to watch. I will never see this film again and I am OK with that...but why then did I watch it?...Simple...I knew that it had Vince Vaughn and Jon Faverau...I love these two guys on screen...from Swingers to Made these 2 are gold...but, alas, they have really been in only 2 films...do you count Dinner for 5?...do you count The Break Up?...so I fast forward to the scenes with these two to relive the glory days of Swingers...and guess what..Vaughn is fat and unfunny, and Faverau is skinny (again) and unfunny..it's just dead...not to mention I get the bonus of fast forwarding and spot a face that looked familiar...that face was Patrick Van Horn...better known as "Sue" from Swingers...wow this guy has been out of the loop for a while...this group of 3 now grace the screen...and Sue is fat and unfunny...wow this was a let down...Vaughn has been in such a slump...looking back Dodgeball was maybe his last best for me and Old School...he just can not be the center of a film and carry it...Thank God that Ron Livingston stayed away from this film.

Finally, someone has said what we've all been thinking, I knew it would be you Clutch 9, it had to be you, it could be no one else..."Vaughn is fat and unfunny." No truer words have ever been written. The fact that you used "unfunny" instead of "not funny" speaks volumes. Vaughn has actually become the negative of funny. It's not as if he has traveled into the realm of serious acting and is no longer comedic, he has done something far more offensive. He continues to attempt humor and fails so miserably that he actually succeeds in being the opposite of funny. The only more egregious example that comes to mind is that of Jaleel White, in which he perpetuated and prolonged the infectious violation of "unfunny" to pandemic proportions, and that's not even considering that Family Matters is in syndication...but at least he didn't get fat. I mean would it kill Vince to hit the gym every once in awhile?
ReplyDeleteThank you for Clutch 9, for your courage in speaking the truth, perhaps someday the rest of the world will stop hiding behind their pity laughs and join us in outing Vince Vaughn as the fat unfunny schlub we now know him to be. Who knows, maybe it will ignite a little passion back in him and he will regain some of that spark that we used to admire...or at least make him insecure enough to stop eating small countries.
Wasn't Reese Witherspoon in this too? Was her performance overshadowed by the enormous girth of her costar?
ummm...thanks?
