Seems as if this Vardalos woman is pulling a Woody Allen, in which she writes herself into starring roles with cock that's WAAAAAAAAAY above her ugly league.

Am I the only person around here who absolutely loathes Rachel Dratch?

She bugs the HELL out of me, Nicole. Haven't made it to hate yet because I haven't watched anything she's been in. But man she bugs me.

The hair. It troubles me.

Mimi>>I know! I love John Corbett. Get him some good work, please.

she sets a five-date limit with love interests.

Do real women in real life really do stupid gimmicky shit like this?

I hope not. I want to continue to like women.

But feel free to make it a mini-diversion: The stupidest rule you ever set for yourself.

Vardalos is kinda freaking me out. She looks...off. I don't know if it's because it looks like her face has been sucked to a skeleton with little hanging things, or that the face no longer matches the body.

Is it just me or was she much more attractive in MBFGW?

As for the "romantic comedy" I've never really gotten into them. Aside from Garden State the only other one I can watch on a semi-regular basis is Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I blame my mother and sister for this, raising me on Dirty Dancing, Ghost, You've Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, etc. That, and the fact that as a friend once told me all women are "liars, cheaters and thieves," and whereas women don't admit it guys do. So far this has proven true in every one of my relationships.

Whatever, it's about time mediocre chicks got hot lovin' on camera.

As for that, there are plenty of mediocre chicks who get hot lovin' on camera...look at Anne Heche in 6 Days 7 Nights, Anne Reid in The Mother, or Helen Mirren in Shadowboxer. I could continue.

As for this movie...it will probably do well...against my wishes. Although it did make me chuckle at the end it reminds me too much of a female version of Hitch or something. That last line of the trailer though, "what do guys like besides pizza and morning sex?" was fantastic.

The blonde-ish hair is awful. I miss the gigantic dark Greek curls. Corbett and Vardalos are on comparable levels of attractiveness to me. She has the nose, he has no lips, they're both charming people.

It's not like Vardalos with John Hamm or Corbett with SJP. That would strain credulity.

She reminds me of SJP when she started misinterpreting "full of character, charming, and smart" to mean "pretty". You are not pretty Vardalos, you could be better. Please don't let Hollywood take you and turn you into another useless celebutard.

I have trailer addict. Can't they make their trailers work properly?

Also, hollywood needs to find a new rom com trailer voiceover guy. Seriously. As shit as this movie looks, it wouldn't seem nearly so bad without the awful voiceover.

And another thing - is it just me, or does the content of that trailer have nothing to do with the title of the movie?

Yes, I'm 6'4"....

Hahaha. What's wrong with liking short women? I actually lost my virginity to a little lady that was 4'11".

God, I'm sure the movie isn't very good, but I get a "Terrible Trailer" alarm going off from this. I mean, gimmicky romcoms like this can hope to be cute at best, and hey, I'm willing to give Nia and John the chance to give me cute-at-best.

Not that I'd ever dream of seeing this in a theater, but the damn thing looks a hell of a lot more promising than My Life in Ruins ever did. There's something very comforting about a formulaic gimmicky romcom, but they of course easily devolve into schlock. ::shrugs:: And yeah - the title has absolutely nothing to do with anything. It reeks of "studio-mandated" and would only remotely make sense if this were coming out in February.

nicole, you're not alone. i loathe ratchel dratch.

...I wanted a guy with...
...Iooks, security, caring.
Someone with their own place.
Someone who said "bless you"
or "gesundheit" when I sneezed.
Someone who liked the same
things as me, but not exactly.
And someone who loves me.
-Tall order.
-Yeah, I scaled it down a little.
What is it now?
Someone who says "gesundheit, "
although I prefer "bless you."

there are plenty of mediocre chicks who get hot lovin' on camera... Helen Mirren in Shadowboxer.

I'm sorry, Helen Mirren is mediocre?

has anyone else notice that John Corbett is the voiceover guy in the Applebee commercials?!?!?! It pains me that Aidan-- hot furniture designer who likes fried chicken-- does voice overs over for the a crappy restaurant chain.

DeistBrawler, you are 6'4" and only want to date women that are 5'5" or shorter? as a woman who is 6'1", i'd love to know where you live. because you need to be shot in the face.

I'm 5'10". I'll go with you Daisy. I'll drive the getaway car.

Jesus, the tall women are rooting for my downfall.

I actually have a friend who is 6'3", we kind of tried dating once but I couldn't get past the fact that our feet touched when we were laying in bed stretched out. It just felt...weird.

What can I say? I like that when I hold a woman her ear touches my heart.

Oh, and P.S. I seem to enjoy men an age bracket above my own, for some reason. As for stupid rules I set- I have a lot of trouble dating bad writers who are proud of their bad writing. I know, I'm a snot, but it gets difficult to think up ambiguous and evasive comments to avoid giving my opinion.

Well, those are good rules.

Then again because of none stupid rules you could end up with a middle-aged divorced man with six children, three cats, two dogs, and a tendency to rape small ethnic boys. He could also hold deep seeded desires to beat women to a pulp, thrash about wildly in his sleep, and snore louder than a dumptruck. All of this because he was abused as a child and therefore became a pathological liar and tells you he loves you even though he will never mean it. On top of that he hordes his money so that he can appear to be rich when he takes you out on wonderful dates and buys you tickets to the opera, when in reality he is just the manager of the local Taco Bell and relies on insurance checks from the tragic "accidental" death of his second wife. Of course, his "rape van" is a fantastic way to get around town as long as you don't find yourself sticking to drying blood or tasting ductape.

There are stupid rules...and yet some of them are there for a reason. So they're not really stupid...as they are simple.

Whatever, it's about time mediocre chicks got hot lovin' on camera.

That was kind of too easy, besides, I think we've beat Sasha Grey to a pulp already. :-)

I think the real question here is: Why does she hate Valentine's Day? Never once in the trailer is the approaching date even mentioned. Who the hell picked the name for this movie?
