I just saw the movie "Simply Irresistable" last night (okay, I'll admit it... I'd seen it before. I had remembered it as simply lame)... I can't understand why anyone would put that piece of shit in theaters, but then TBS pays for the priviledge to show it on late night tv. I just don't understand how anyone could make that movie and not expect it to flop. Sarah Michelle Geller in possibly her stupidest role yet (although I've only seen her in a few movies, so I reserve the right to change this title), as an extremely unintelligent "Wuh? My emotions are somehow infecting the food I prepare as a subpar chef?" girl who falls for some random guy because a guy in a white suit who I
guess is supposed to be an angel or some other supernatural being (this is not explained or explored in any sense during the movie) tells her to. Also not explained is how her feelings are being transferred into the food, though perhaps she wore her mother's earring through the whole movie, and that was their logic. Maybe there was no fucking reason, since the writer wrote this movie in about five minutes while in a PCP induced haze.
There's also a magical crab. That's not a euphemism. It's a crab puppet, and it's ugly as sin. The requisite comic-relief snotty French chef guy apparently falls in love with the crab at the end of the movie, as he feeds it special goo from the love-inducing hot peaches which the crab then licks up with repulsive slurping noises. WHAT THE FUCK!
Not to mention, there's all these tear-gas peaches in the last part of the movie. People cut into these peaches, and then "steam" boils out of them in a very smoke bomb sort of way. And though it's supposed to be steam, it defies all laws of nature and hovers at the ground, rather than dispersing through the air. Then people dance, because these peaches make people fall deeply in love. With magical crab puppets.
I swear that everything I just typed is true, it's actually from the fucking movie! You must immediately go watch it on late night tv (don't rent it! Unless you have netflix or something) so that we may commiserate about the two hours that we just wasted. It's awesomely bad! Go now!
Well, you can wait a minute I guess. Just remember to come back and commiserate!
