At the Movies: 'A Guy Thing' Jan 16, 10:33 AM EST Casting Jason Lee as the lead in a romantic comedy would be a great idea The premise requires that Paul and his wife-to-be, Karen (Blair), are a terrible mismatch, but these two don't even seem to know each other An angry guy behind Paul at a toll booth, a tuxedo salesman, a customer at a record store â€â€? they're all doing schtick Running time: 101 minutes A milquetoast and a congenital liar whose worst fear is asserting himself, he spins ridiculous falsehoods to avoid situations that wouldn't be that bad if he met them head-on Besides Lee, it manages to waste the talents of the vivacious Julia Stiles and the always game Selma Blair "A Guy Thing," an MGM release, is rated PG-13 for language, crude humor, some sexual content and drug references You have to wait patiently at times while she scrunches her face into the proper kooky expression R â€â€? Restricted Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian Paul is not only marrying a woman who picks out his clothes for him, he's working for her father He has no idea how she got there Maybe these three leads will get together again sometime, but they can't make a movie by themselves D "A Guy Thing" has been left entirely in the hands of the actors, and Stiles and Blair are at least pleasant to watch How they managed to get engaged is a mystery; they don't function as a couple, allowing Paul ample time for further hijinks, many of which involve getting to know Becky better Afraid even to enjoy his bachelor party, Paul nonetheless manages to wake up the next morning with Becky (Stiles) in his bed To make matters worse, she's his fiancee's cousin, whom he's never met or even heard of Director Chris Koch ("Snow Day") lends a consistent tone of artificiality This indifferently made, slack-jawed nothing of a movie disqualifies itself from the genre; it has neither comedy nor romance After he's beaten up by Becky's rogue-cop ex-boyfriend (Lochlyn Munro), Paul offers an impossibly specific, entirely made-up description of his attacker â€â€? and then the cops find someone who matches it exactly Meanwhile, Becky tries a new job every day and enjoys sending cars airborne when she hits a bump in the road 's musings on NBC's "Scrubs" without the visual invention, Paul envisions himself being berated with far greater intensity than what he's actually subjected to PG-13 â€â€? Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13 Lee, whose sharp and vivid work in a series of third-wheel roles made him more appealing than his big-name co-stars, has been stripped of one of his greatest strengths: his incisive intelligence But motives aren't necessary when the formula is so obvious Some material may be inappropriate for young children â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: G â€â€? General audiences There wasn't any hanky-panky, but he panics as if he's cheated But then, it might have helped if she'd been working with filmmakers who noticed such things It's an indication of the general laziness of the four screenwriters that the movie never explains how or why Becky got into Paul's bed â€â€? the episode, if dramatized, could perhaps explain her attraction to him PG â€â€? Parental guidance suggested After "A Guy Thing," it still would He's at his worst putting together elaborate sequences in which Paul's lies improbably come true One and a half stars out of four Koch must have at least had a sense that his set pieces weren't exactly gut-busters, because everyone's been instructed to mug for the camera Paul can't even take refuge in his mind: In occasional fantasy sequences that resemble J And just so we're sure nobody will end up heartbroken, Paul's divorced brother (a vaguely amusing Thomas Lennon) is clearly in love with Karen Some material may not be suitable for children Playing the jilted bride is easy pickings for Blair, a brave, vanity-free performer whose willingness to be degraded and humiliated on screen goes untapped Stiles brings plenty of energy, but she's a bit earnest to play a "free spirit," and her timing is off His character, Paul, behaves like an idiot All ages admitted NC-17 â€â€? No one under 17 admitted Donna Brazile, a longtime Democratic campaign official who managed Al Gore's 2000 presidential race, said she blamed Reagan for initiating "the politics of telling poor people they are worthless O'Rourke and New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, avoided the personal attacks that made the Franken-O'Reilly clash that brought such a rush to both publishing people and C-SPAN watchers Those for Bush? Just a few But that was generous, given the audience A year after liberal humorist Al Franken and conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly fought it out at BookExpo America, representatives of the left and the right engaged in a more restrained, if not harmonious discussion Saturday at the publishing industry's national convention Left, Right Appear at Chicago Book Expo Jun 5, 6:25 PM EST Call it the Un-Franken Factor "If he were able to do it better, he might be able to do better politically," said Chavez, who was Bush's first choice as Secretary of Labor but withdrew after questions surfaced about an illegal immigrant who had worked for her and lived in her home When moderator and C-SPAN host Brian Lamb asked how many expected to vote for Sen O'Rourke, ostensibly a conservative, ridiculed the president's education plan as the "No Kiddo Left Behind" act, while Dowd, unofficially billed as a liberal, mocked Bush's relationship with the first President Bush as the "father-son oedipal loop-d-loop that has rocked the world " Chavez praised Reagan as a compassionate man and wished that President Bush shared the same gifts of communication "I hope we have some fireworks," joked panelist Linda Chavez, a conservative commentator and a former official in the Reagan administration But Chavez and fellow luncheon speakers, who included authors Ron Suskind and P J And Ralph Nader, the independent candidate whom Democrats fear will take votes from Kerry? No hands John Kerry to raise their hands, hundreds responded "You're probably hiding under the table," Lamb said " With Suskind also supposedly speaking from the left, liberals outnumbered conservatives 3-2 at the dais Instead, they stuck to policy, differing respectfully on the war in Iraq, the funding of education and the legacy of Ronald Reagan Bush had a hard time with all the panelists |
