http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/03/I-hate-my-30s.-What-is-this.aspx I’m almost thirty, so maybe that’s why I found I HATE MY 30’S almost funny. The sets are bright, the pace is quick, and the actors are shiny and fun to look at. If only it was funny. OR maybe it is, and I’m just not quite old enough to get it. Am I missing something? I would recap the plot, if I knew what happened. What I gleaned was this: Mandy’s sorority sister, Jenny is getting married, and Mandy is tired of going to weddings alone. So, she enlists, Kyle, the geekiest guy in her office to be her date, and makes him pretend to be a plastic surgeon with a gold Ferrari. As I was watching this all unfold, I kept thinking, “Mandy is so familiar.” Then it hit me; she played Jesse Bowers, the Bluth family publicist on ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. Then, I realized that I wished I was watching that, instead of I HATE MY 30’s. Mandy’s officemate, Chad, is also invited to the wedding. He wants to bring Carol, his co-worker. They, I guess, do a recurring bit where she pretends they can’t be together, but “secretly” wants to be with him. It really bored me. Chad was sweet, and cute, and I didn’t understand why Carol had to make such a fuss. If it were FUNNY I would get it, but it wasn’t. Ok. There were a few funny moments. The musical number, which was “Tell Me More” from GREASE crossed with “Don’t You Want Me Baby” by the Human League, was amusing, and actually sounded pretty good. And the Pokerdome was good for about two minutes of laughs. Tina Turner was awesome. So was, Travis’ Mel Gibson MAD MAX: BEYOND THE THUNDERDOME hair. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/03/I-hate-my-30s.-What-is-this.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/03/I-hate-my-30s.-What-is-this.aspx#1100 I really don't like it, It is really not that funny gfieldmama http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/03/I-hate-my-30s.-What-is-this.aspx#1100 Sun, 05 Aug 2007 21:28:23 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/03/I-hate-my-30s.-What-is-this.aspx#1113 people need to stop wenching about their age and learn to deal w/ the fact that, it's only a # the government gave u to keep an eye on u..age is just a number..how old or young u r depends on how ur heart feels!....when u stop complaining, you'll see you feel better! kids help w/ that too.....ambie ambie http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/03/I-hate-my-30s.-What-is-this.aspx#1113 Mon, 06 Aug 2007 01:48:33 GMT
