Learning Comes to Life

This is what I'd almost call action comedy.

And it's soothingly average.... not unlike (the novel) *Twilight*, in a way.

And, yet, somehow I find this line stuck in my head:

"Never look back, Max! Never!"

Or, to take one that's actually from the movie:

"My daughter's birthday: cancelled."

Yes, the Romans and the cowboys will take precedence today....

Unless, that is, your family interrupts you while you're watching it, as they undoubtedly will. (And did.)

But, anyway, "that was actually pretty cool, what you just did."

"Thank you."

(dramatic) "Back to life!"

So it was all alright, except that I had to pretend that they hadn't casted some, annoying aunt, or something, as a pilot.... I just had to pretend that she wasn't there.... I call it, suspension of disbelief.

I mean, if it were say, Ed Harris, or Clint Eastwood, or Jack Nicholson, or even Keanu (Shoot-the-Hostage) Reeves, or Patrick Stewart, or even Morgan Freeman, ('It's Nelson Mandela!'), then that would be one thing.

But Ben Stiller deserves better. ;0
