Alert The Studios - I Have An Idea... |

What if it's awful? Or even worse, what if it's just Meh?
I want it to be hilarious. I want it to be unexpected. I want it to be a grown-up version of "Mean Girls", which I, unapologetically, saw four times in the theater. That's right. Four times.
I loathe the Meh Romantic Comedies. They're always such a disappointment. And everything else about them is so pretty - the settings, the stars, the clothes, the characters' occupations. I want to be able to enjoy more than just the preview.
Pretty please?
I cannot bear another totally cliche chase scene, probably near the end of the film, when our heroine decides to flee from it all - possibly on an airplane - and the leading man races to stop her, to explain the misunderstanding and profess his love, while some cheesy, timeworn Motown song plays in the background.
I have no idea if this happens in "27 Dresses", but it pretty much has in every other romantic comedy.
I read a blurb about the film that hinted at a bad karaoke scene, where the entire bar ends up singing along.
Egads - not the sing-a-long! I have to run for the medicine cabinet every time "My Best Friend's Wedding" comes on TBS, and they show the sing-a-long scene. The entire cast, singing along to a cheesy, timeworn Motown song.

Then I can create a combination film later, in my head, like "No Country For Old Men Wearing 27 Dresses", which would be something along the lines of "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert", and carnage would be unleashed upon all who dared to participate in the sing-a-long.
I would put Javier Bardem in this:

I saw "No Country For Old Men" and have decided that it should have been called "No Movie For Old Women". Scared the BeeJeez out of me! I think your version would be much better!Love, Mom

If you haven't already seen it, I'm pretty sure Miss Golightly would LOVE Enchanted the movie.
