oh my gosh... freaking hilarious

this movie is not supposed to be funny.

i can just see alyssa milano doing her makeup commercials for that bare minerals thing and then have someone show clips from her in this movie -- she would be completely mortified.

the reason i like this movie: the acting is highly entertaining. i have NO freaking clue how the actors got through this script without dying of laughter. i mean seriously -- i want to make love with you on this beach for 24 hours and then he says to her - yeah but we have a lot of work to do tomorrow so we better not. SLAM! seriously - if you watch this with a big group of people and make fun of it, it's totally worth the 2 bucks that you pay for it at BIG LOTS.

oh and i love how she's freezing at one point - and she's in a TANK TOP. how about you put a jacket on?

oh yeah - and the guy was a total and complete jerk to her! or at least that's how it was portrayed.

and the line where he says 'there's a wolf out there' oh my gosh i never laughed so hard in my life when she says to him 'well hello go get your gun and shoot it - we have to eat!' even though the whole stupid time she's been talking about how she doesn't eat meat and she is craving a veggie burger with fries.

and the thanksgiving line! who cares about thanksgiving when you are going to have ZERO food to eat!
