Friday has watched some very bad movies lately
Okay, I've finally finished my punishment! My friends Kim and Beth very kindly agreed to watch my horrible movie with me. We headed to the video rental store and walked around the store finding horrible looking movies and exclaiming: "Ohh, I don't want to see this!" "Ohhh, I realllllly don't want to watch this!" We finally decided on Big Mommas: Like Father Like Son. We also decided to get a bad looking movie that looked like it would be good in a bad way, if that makes sense. So we also rented Pop Star, a movie starring Aaron Carter as a, you guessed it, pop star, whose mom puts him back in public school to get a good education. Well, we first watched Big Mommas which was, surprisingly, not horrible just.... boring. Terribly, terribly boring. There was hardly anything engaging about the movie. There were horrible parts, of course, pretty much anything involving the "humor" of guys dressed up as girls trying to get covert spies in a girls' boarding school (the plot of the movie). We tried to figure out the ending of the movie as we watched it and hit the nail on the head (son wants to go into music, father wants him to go to college- movie ends with father agreeing to let son go into music and son saying he actually wants to go to college, ta da!)
It turns out that Pop Star was actually far, far worse than Big Mommas. Just absolutely horrible. Terrible movie! The highlight (in a bad way, of course) was in the beginning when Aaron Carter's mom tells him he's going back to school and he exclaims, "But I'm a pop star!!" in a high, squeaky, popstarry way. Oh, Aaron.
Well, I need to be quick because I'm off for movie night, so onto the meme:
