so, laura and i saw the mostly bland My Super Ex-girlfriend this week. The only reason it's worth watching (on DVD, not in the theater) is because of Rainn Wilson, the guy who plays Dwight on the NBC version of The Office (which is, of course, the better version of the show).
The interesting thing was that the screenplay was really tame and Wilson must have improved some of his lines because everything he said stuck out. For instance, the movie opens with luke wilson talking to Rainn wilson (apparantly no relation) talking about G-Girl, Uma's character. luke says "Hey, if you could have any superpower, what would it be?" Rainn repsonds: "The ability to orally pleasure myself."
This is pretty much the first exchange of dialogue in the film. but the movie never really maintains that level of hilarious crudeness, unless Rainn is onscreen.
anyway, i don't think anyone I know even considered seeing this movie. and it's probably not even a good idea that I admit to having paid to see it. but laura and i love rainn wilson and it was just about worth the 9$ to see him.
