Day 93 - 4/3/09 - Movie #90
BEFORE: I couldn't resist watching these two films back-to-back, based on the titles. You see, there is a method to my madness. I'm transitioning from Steve Martin films to Billy Bob Thornton films, with a master plan for the next week...
THE PLOT: A young guy short on luck, enrolls in a class to build confidence to help win over the girl of his dreams, which becomes complicated when his teacher has the same agenda.
AFTER: Poor, poor Jon Heder - just as his character in this film can't break out of his loser patterns, as an actor he can't break out of these "Napoleon Dynamite"-like roles. And I usually love Billy Bob - playing a slimeball self-help coach should have been a slam-dunk for him, but this story is so far-fetched that "ridiculous" would be too much of a compliment.
RATING: 3 out of 10 parking tickets
