Watch what you ask for...

So the bet backfired a little. While Jennifer definitelly did not enjoy the movie more than I "enjoyed" it, we both lost a couple of hours of our lives that we're never ever going to get back again. Needless to say, the movie is even more stupid than you think it might be and it doesn't help that the Alamo shows some of the truly disgusting episodes before the actual movie starts. Although there are some genuinly clever and funy stunts, most of them just make you wince or gag. In retrospect, this is not the kind of movie that you want to combine with dinner. I'm sure it helps if you are lubed with booze or other recreational drugs, but unfortunately that's not my cup of tea and the one sangria that Jennifer had did not seem to help that much, either.

I also find it more than a little disturbing that the movie has been so high in the rankings ever since it released - I would have hoped its demographic was a little smaller than it apparently is (the demographic being perfectly represented by the two "dudes" sitting next to us and thoroughly and loudly enjoying every second of the movie). Of course, we contributed with our visit to the ticket sales, so I should not be saying anything.

While I watched any respect for me drain out of Jennifer's face during the movie, I kept thinking to myself "I'm sure glad I'm not wasting my money on this piece of crap" and "this bet I won is going to cost me..."
