Movie: Grown-Ups

My boyfriend said it best, “How could the greatest comedians from that era of Saturday Night Live come together for such a disappointment?

I wasn’t disappointed at all, but then I fell asleep mid-way through and woke up in time for the end of the big basketball game.  And I said, “Am I correct in assuming I didn’t miss anything?”

And he said, “You are correct.”  And that’s when he made the comment about how could the greatest comedians from that era of Saturday Night Live come together for such a disappointment.

To tell the truth, I never watched or watch Saturday Night Live.  Before my boyfriend and I became stay at home slugs every night of the year, thanks to living in a town that has absolutely nothing going on in the evenings unless you like smokey bars, I was out and about Saturday nights.  I didn’t know what it was to be home on a Saturday night, I wouldn’t even know the show existed except sometimes at work people would talk about Saturday Night Live, and act like I was out of it because I didn’t watch the show because I was actually doing something.  But now, even though I could watch the show, I do much more important things like watch Grown-Ups — except it was Wednesday and not Saturday, but, you get the idea,  a movie or something — and fall asleep and blog about it the next morning.

Unfortunately, if you are looking for a movie to cure your insomnia, Grown-Ups isn’t it — too much noise at the end.  I will be giving you a list of the top ten movies guaranteed to put you to sleep in no time.  Preview: My Dinner with Andre is on the list.
