Man Up - Yay! Netflix

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

I saw this on Netflix, saw it had Simon Pegg, I thought to myself, "I find him to be delightful, and as such I always see everything he is in," and watched it.

I think this movie ends that general response to his films.

It's a chick flick without any of the humor that makes Pegg worth watching. Half way through I was regretting having committed to it.

You know you can turn off a movie without hurting its feelings? I do it all the time when hack writers try to pass off awkwardness as comedy.

The single worst emotion I feel when watching a product. If I want to stop watching because the awkwardness makes me feel uncomfortable towards the person, you're doing something wrong.

It's ok in spurts, but sometimes folks go all in with it.

I HATE stopping a movie half way through. I've done that less than 5 times in my life.

Watched it tonight.

I might have been put into a good mood by They Call Me Jeeg and because I was playing Homefront: The Revolution at the time, but I enjoyed it. I started off thinking it was shit, and honestly, this is NOT a great movie. However, by the end I thought it was fine. I wouldn't recommend anyone run out to see it, but I don't hate the fact that I watched it.
