Sometimes, at the tale-end of a long sick day, you choose a movie for a couple of laughs knowing there won't be any depth to it... The brightest stars in this flick were Jessica Simpson's lips. Her character, Katie, wore the thickest, shiniest, cherry-red lipstick in nearly every scene of the movie. I am aching for an interview with her make up artist to find out the secret to keeping lipstick from schmudging teeth!
Simpson was surrounded by talent in this film: Luke Wilson, Larry Miller, Willie Nelson, and Penelope Ann Miller all could not help pull off this odd-ball story. There are far too many holes (including the one Ben and Katie fall into TWICE) in the script to make the story-line believable and everyone of the characters is OVER played. Even Nelson and Wilson's understated personalities are just overdone.
The most believable scene in the film is when Katie asks Ben if she can unbotton her pants to make room for her half of the New York style Pizza Pie they had inhaled together. Of course, this moment is quickly and efficiently squashed when Katie jumps up to "my FAVORITE song" and insists that Ben learn an unrecognizable line dance to an indistinguishable country song in the living room... thank heaven the un-enclosed toilet begins to gurgle in the corner and Pa-Paw (Nelson) knocks on the door.
