So, you've gone to the movies to escape your real life. IF is consuming your every thought and you just need to get lost in a movie for a couple hours...then WHAM - out of nowhere the romantic comedy or animated picture you thought was surely safe has an infertility storyline. WTF?!
Here, we're working on compiling a list of movies that contain IF themes or story lines, and can hopefully get some commentary from the girls on whether they're Good (IF dealt with in a sensitive way, worth seeing despite the pain, but bring some tissues) or Bad (IF dealt with by a writer who is clearly ignorant, subject matter handled insensitively, will just add insult to injury, SKIP IT!.)
Good Movies:
UP - Sensitive storytelling, heart wrenching, definitely bring tissues!
Bad Movies:
Love Notes (Lifetime) - Waiting for Demold's scathing review ;-)
Couples Retreat -- am still waiting to be refunded back the 2 hours of my life wasted sitting through that piece of shit "film." Vince Vaughn, I generally think you're a pretty cool guy, and Jason Bateman, wow, I thought I was in for a "totally 80s" blast from the past treat -- what a cutie you have turned out to be. But both of you, along with your fellow "actors," the producers, directors, catering people, director's ass-wipers, production coffee-getters, people-who-get-you-to-be-anorexic / stylists, advertisers, and anyone else involved in inducing an unsuspecting public to pay for your worthless product with their hard-earned dollars and their time -- all of you can go to hell for your participation in this crusty shitfest. Even you, Kristin Davis, sweet, cute little you from Sex and the City. I know times are tough now that you no longer make 7 or 8 figures a year from HBO, but come on, this was beneath you, my dear.
Premise: IF couple struggling in their marriage decide to go to a marriage workshop in paradise to decide whether they will ultimately stay together. They induce their friends to join them so that they can avail themselves of the group discount. Friends oh-so-realistically drop everything and go. Fine, it seemed like the film could go somewhere. Even up to this point, I sat back, ready to escape reality and be entertained. Well, the film did go somewhere: straight into a vomit-and diarrhea-filled gas station toilet. Script must have been written by a 7th grader with the IQ of Beavis and Butthead. Either that or Dave from FT. How the hell does shit like this get financed and made? I say all these actors making millions for horrible products contribute to my IVF fund. Fuck you and your horrible movie. Terrible. F.
