A Deadly Adoption

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

She's from 90210 or something according to my wife.
This was played 100 percent straight and I think with anything comedic, though the more the actor cares about the character, or something, the funnier it appears to be, but this was not intended to be a comedy, and we all played it entirely straight. I was actually really surprised to see how determined Will was to keep it as real and serious at all time.


So NOT a parody. Then it's official, this movie sucked and nobody involved can act.

Eh, that's coming from her, and even she admits this movie was wholly Will's idea. Even I caught a few bits in there that were so over the top, they might have gone completely around to the other end and seemed subtle.

1) The opening scene with the near-drowning in the lake.
2) The bit where Will bitches out Kristen for leaving some chocolate around.
3) Everyone getting laid out with a single punch.
4) "... and I really do have a baby."

I think they might have scored a shallow Lifetime parody, but that doesn't translate well to anyone not comprised of 50% estrogen. I went in expecting some serious laughs, but the best I found was a polite golf clap.

Be careful of spoilers. Catt hasn't seen it yet.

Reviews have not been kind anywhere. Every website says, "Suck," and "Wtf was that?"

So basically the comedians played it straight, and that's the joke?

Maybe this whole thing is Will Farrel playing a joke on Lifetime?

The humour is so bad in most places, that Lord Buzzkillington himself ...
