FLIGHT

All right, fess up--you know you all saw this.

Heh heh--well, that's probably not true. Oh well--your loss!

Anyway, I saw the movie a couple of nights ago (with a fellow Flight member, haha--reveal yourself, comrade...)
It was good!
Good acting. Funny, well-written script. Cute girls. Need I say more? (Oh yeah, and Shannon Elizabeth was sitting behind me in the theater... With her lame husband... --hehe )

SO, as I was saying... Tina Fey of SNL wrote the script, her feature film debut--and I had read an article about the project in some writing magazine. Sounded interesting, and what with the pretty impressive box office performance, the hooks were in...
Overall, it was a quality film. Not the typical, stupid, asinine teen comedy. Lots of clever, subtle humor, and unique filmic touches. Fairly straightforward plot well executed. (Did I mention cute girls?)

One of the funniest characters was the Indian American captain of the Math Team (Mathletes)--a jive talking wannabe pimpster who recruits the main girl (Lindsay Lohan) for the squad.
And Tim Meadows, also of SNL, gives a hilarious deadpan performance as the fed-up principal of the high school.

It's a fun film that adds a touch of cleverness to the rapidly tiring teen comedy genre.
So see it!
(But I can't guarantee Shannon Elizabeth will be there. Sorry.)

Signed, with head held high,

I have actually heard good things about this film also...maybe I will have to go see it now.......maybe.

I saw this with Phil. It was a great movie. Tim Meadows was my favorite. I've always thought Tina Fey was strangely hot.

I saw this movie when it came out! I liked it; there are a few really good scenes in it. I thought the moments of over-the-top slapstick really didn't fit the story at all though (like when the wheelchair girl rolls herself off the stage, or when Lindsey Lohan falls head first into a trash can). However, thinking about it now... The slapstick does set up the climactic events pretty well.

After it was over, I jokingly compared it to Columbine but unwittingly started a big argument. Jeez, sorry.

Lindsey Lohan was very likable. I want to see Freaky Friday now too (I hear it's secretly one of the best movies of last year).

I've always thought this too. Mostly because I'm attracted to intelligent women, and Tina Fey seems to just ooze intellegence (I mean c'mon. The first female head writer for SNL?).

Haven't seen Mean Girls yet, but I intend to. Oh yes.

I dig chicks with scars.

Rad, you crack me up. Hehe. And I also think Tina Fey is hot... Cute girls with nerdy glasses make me woozy...
