My Best Friend's Girl.
"I'm Mr Right, just not Mr
Right Now."
Caught it when Bong and Clem after work today. Pretty cute movie. And omg, is Tank the biggest asshole on earth or what?! I have never seen someone channel the asshole vibes as accurately and naturally as he did.
But like all movies, they gave the audience what they want: a happy ending. Mr Asshole will always turn out to have a soft side. Somehow a random girl can make an asshole fall in love and turn him into a sappy SNAG. Hollywood loves to inject some sort of hope in us commoners. Because people like it. They like thinking that with some intentional/unintentional meddling with the guy's heart/mind, some cute smiles and a nice girl personality, they can change an asshole totally, and basically make him become their prince.
And this is the time when I would think: nothing like that will ever happen in real life. An asshole will change only if he wants to change. The girl who happened to be with him when he decided to was just at the right place at the right time.
Yes, I'm cynical like that.
