I still had basting to do, this movie has Casey Affleck in it (I tend to see all the movies in which he appears) and it was there at the library. So I watched it while sewing and it was the exactly perfect movie for just that situation.* For once, Ben Stiller wasn’t his usual sad-sack self, which was a nice change of pace.**
Cost: free from library
Where watched: at home.

(props for having a Casey Affleck poster!)
*Other situations it would be good for: when you have the flu; an endless airplane ride with few movie options; film fest of Alan Alda’s lesser works; when they play it on cable and your remote is broken and you are too lazy to get up to change the channel.
**And this movie was feces-free! Another rarity.
Was it suspenseful and on the edge-of-your-seat like? The title seems to imply that, yet I vaguely recall that the previews did not actually give me that impression. I do like Casey!
Hmm…still not sure if I should bother to watch…
Sara–Not at all suspenseful. More "fun."
Jan–yeah, it wasn't fabulous.
