This isn’t really my sort of
film, but I thought I’d watch it for something light and easy and because Jun
and I considered going to see it purely because it had Nicki Minaj in it – and
she after all gave us the holiday’s theme song.
A silly film about a
licentious conman who cheats on his wife with numerous women – until they find
out about it and decide first to screw with him and then to bust him. Quite
apart from coming from that bizarre and alien world of American dating – where
it seems everyone is expected to have a few dozen short-term relationships a
year – this is a definite chick-flick. Its humour primarily comes from having a
shrill, ditzy woman as the wife doing silly things, and occasional poop and
body part jokes – though there are some great little off-beat natural moments.
Can’t say I found it very
interesting at all or rooted for any of the characters very much – though they
all acted as well as they could under the circumstances – but I was lightly
amused. And Minaj’s small role was done perfectly.
