“That’s the best impression of an extremely dangerous pedophile I’ve ever seen!”
FADE IN:
INT. SOME RESTAURANT
JACK BLACK accidentally touches KATE WINSLET’S BOOB.
JACK BLACK
Ooops! I just touched your boob!
KATE WINSLET
You did! That is so god-damned funny!
JUDE LAW
We should put that moment in every single advertisement!
CAMERON DIAZ
That way, it’ll look like it’s the only joke in the entire fucking movie!
CAMERON also has trouble walking on ice in high heels and she drinks wine straight from the bottle excitedly!

I have the strangest feeling that you never actually watched this…
June 19th, 2007 at 8:20 amCould’ve done more with this.
June 23rd, 2007 at 3:54 pmnah, i saw that movie. that’s pretty much the gist of it. although he could’ve done more.
July 4th, 2007 at 4:16 pmickk. This movie is good and you messed it up! You coulda done A LOT more with this…a lot! You stink at this!
July 11th, 2007 at 12:21 pmActually, even that wasn’t funny. Sickeningly cutesy sweet, no bite to it whatsoever.
July 12th, 2007 at 7:34 amI actually thought this script was funny. Sometimes his short ones can have just as much impact.
July 22nd, 2007 at 10:02 pmi am not sure what this is… is there somewhere where the WHOLE script is? I desperately want the first 20 minutes of the movie!
July 23rd, 2007 at 9:56 amVERY good movie!!!
a full script maybe perfect
August 25th, 2007 at 12:57 amShorter scripts can be just as effective as longer scripts, and even more fun, especially when Rod doesn’t feel like the movie is worth the effort or is just lazy. See scripts for 8 Mile and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels for more examples.
September 28th, 2007 at 11:47 pmI saw the movie and it was terrible! That was pretty much the whole movie. it wasn’t worth a whole script, or actually watching it!!
October 14th, 2007 at 7:41 pmMethinks you may be a bit of a weenie. I’d like to hear just what you would expect to see in a light romantic comedy: Zombies maybe? A flesh-eating virus in our water source? Homeless war veterans? Limbless children? Pfffft. Mr. Napkinhead was priceless.
November 28th, 2007 at 10:39 pmHave you actually seen the movie? I thought it was great. And what you wrote here? STUPID, man.
December 15th, 2007 at 8:56 amthat was weak. c’mon- you could do better. this was actually a cute movie
December 21st, 2007 at 6:39 pmyes you COULD have done more, but what’s the point? If it can be summed up in 4 small sections of dialogue I see no reason to stretch it out any longer. well-done.
June 23rd, 2008 at 1:50 amwow…. did you see the movie or just watch all the trailers? It may have been a sickenly cutesy movie… but it wasn’t terrible… and could have easily had a longer abridged script. Other than that… you did kinda sum up Cameron Diaz’s part. lol
September 29th, 2008 at 12:32 amYeah..yeah this movie really sucked. And what’s worse…the friend who made me watch it kept going on about what an “AMAZING” movie it was…
January 8th, 2009 at 11:47 amHaving Jack Black as the lead in a romantic comedy who’s love interest is Kate Winslet is like putting Chad Kroeger in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame (he’s not is he? Is he?!). And also having him bone Scarlett Johannson or something equally terrible, I guess.
