I watched “Man of the House” last night. I know, I know. I’m not usually one to watch stupid movies. But I was bored.
But you know, I was not disappointed.
It was bad. Just as I predicted.
There were a few parts where they *tried* to make it serious and about this conspiracy and the guy getting shot, but it was just useless. Pointless. Futile. Why bother? People are not watching this movie because they want crime and drama and guns and stuff.
It was just confusing. *I* didn’t get it. So you think the general audience is going to understand? I don’t think so!
Admittedly, I don’t laugh at many movies. But I can always see the things that people *should* laugh at. I see them do dumb things and realize “yeah, that was a joke”. *I* may not think it’s funny, but I understand how other people would.
But for this movie, I didn’t laugh. I didn’t even see anything that anyone would laugh about. So what was the point of this movie? NOTHING. There was NO POINT.
And the ending. What. The. Hell.
That Molly chick was seriously in like four, five scenes tops. And now he’s MARRYING her? Now, I kinda got the vibe that this guy is supposed to be at least somewhat smart. He doesn’t seem like someone who would just up and marry some chick.
I checked out the movie on IMDB, as always. I found that the ending was filmed months after the rest of the movie, because they couldn’t think of an appropriate ending.
*Well*, OBVIOUSLY!
You can’t make an appropriate ending to something that has no point. No relevancy. To ANYTHING! You can’t make an ending. Just scrap the whole thing.
I mean, if I was going to make a movie (which, actually, I am), I would want the ending to be like BAM! Blow you away! My movie endings would have to be really really great. I spent so long looking up “best movie ending” lists and stuff, but couldn’t really figure out an ending for my movie. True, our movie doesn’t really have a point either. But it was for fun. I think the whole “don’t step on my blue suede shoes” thing was genius, and could have been an alright ending… but we forgot to film it! The most important line (well, the only line) in the fight scene, and we DIDN’T SHOOT IT!
But back to this other movie. It just was SO predictable.
I mean, I hate it when I’m watching Charles in Charge and my mom says “oh, I bet *this* is going to happen” and I’m like “SHUT UP!” because I didn’t see it coming, and she ruined it for me. But in this movie, even *I* saw it coming! ME!
Now, the ABSOLUTE worst part of this movie was at the end. When the daughter goes in to see her dad before the wedding. They start talking about her schooling. And she’s like “actually… I was thinking of becoming a cheerleader”.
OH. DEAR. GOD.
I almost screamed. I didn’t actually scream, but I made a rather loud groan of disgust.

But then she said “just kidding!” and it was all okay. HA HA HA, that was a good one!
Now, that could have been a good joke. That could have even ended the movie and would have made a better ending than that dude flipping into the table and saying “who put that table there?” like an idiot.
It could have been funny. It could have been hilarious. But they didn’t make it clear that it was a joke. It was just unforgivable.
