It probably makes “My Dinner with Andre” look like a Steven Segal flick.

In Before The Afternoon Ping!

The first time I saw this movie advertised, I figured that we were the lions and the Muslim fundamentalists were the lambs and decided I’d skip it.

"I didn’t plan on seeing this movie even before I saw the reviews."

I agree. Cruise is bad enough, but if Streeps in it you know it's going to be a lecture, not a movie, and Redford just completes the liberal trifecta.

Kid movies are about the only movies I've gone to in quite awhile, and now my kids are old enough that they want to go to movies with their friends, so I'm just a taxi.

But I still wouldn't take them to see garbage like this.

Great DUFU! I’m not surprised the Sacramento Bee is the only positive review. My husband and I decided years ago that any movie the Bee panned was going to be a fun one, and we’d go to those; and any movie the Bee praised was going to be a boring stinker. It worked at least 100% of the time.

[Ditter]

I don’t write off Streep, some of her movies are excellent and not political. I enjoyed the Devil Wears Prada and the one about the old time radio program (sorry, I can’t remember the title) The guy in it is a total lib but the movie had no political agenda that I could discern. (Please someone help me remember the title)

That also describes every “M.A.S.H.” episode written or directed by Alan Alda.

Cruise probably got the idea from his religious experience:

-— The now-disembodied victims’ souls, which Hubbard called thetans, were captured by Xenu’s forces using an “electronic ribbon” and sucked into “vacuum zones” around the world. The captured thetans were taken to a type of cinema, where they were forced to watch a “three-D, super colossal motion picture” for thirty-six days. -—

"Lions For Lambs" - bedwetting troop-slandering sodomites

[Argus]

You’re thinking of A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION, the movie version of the insufferable Garrison Keillor’s fake-folksy public radio show?

[Dude the Obscure]

You are thinking of A Prairie Home Companion.

[Ditter]

Yes thanks, it is it. A delightful movie and the only liberal message was anti big business and it didn’t detract from the movie for me.

[liberty or death]

Most of them don’t have ten bucks left over from their Starbucks paycheck to donate to this farce. Maybe they can call mommy.

[N. Theknow]

WOW!

Sounds like Redford will be up for an Oscar, an Emmy and the Nobel Peace Prize.

When it goes to DVD, Cindy Sheehan will no doubt do the introduction.

Dear Robert Stepford,

You are not, and never will be, Mel Gibson. Now sit down and drink a big steaming cup of STFU, m’kay?

Sincerely,

"It's missing the movie part of being a movie."

It will be missing the audience part, too.

[Charles Henrickson]

"It does not feel good to report that a movie with Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, and Tom Cruise makes the eyelids droop."

Get an eyelid lift, like 71-year-old Redford had done, among other scary stuff.

[Billthedrill]

"Robert Redford's smug, self-satisfied liberal weltschmerz anthem." ---Film Freak Central

Ooh, baby. That's gonna leave a mark.

[Charles Henrickson]

You will be seeing lots more DUFU editions in the future since I asked Charles to do afternoon DUFU editions whenever he wants. With the election season heating up we need more DUFUs.

I appreciate your confidence, PJ, and I enjoy doing guest DUFUs, but it remains to be seen how often I will be able to pull them off. It's all a question of time availability.
