100 things we learned from this film...


Y'all know the drill.. Here's mine..

1. If you're a douche, ex-lovers will haunt you in the future. Ghosts of not dead people will appear before you. Then you'll have a parody of A Christmas Carol happening to you.

2. Breaking up with 3 people at the same time is possible.

15. Being a photographer means only pushing the release button once without even looking at the camera.

16. If you're as old as Michael Douglas you can just go to some strangers and ask for something really naughty - you can be sure that the hottest girl at the table will be into it and ask you to take her home.

17. When the $4000 wedding cake is about to crash, don't call for help. Try to get the most fragile object that's the furthest away with your foot.

reply

I tried so hard to think of the next three things...but regretably I don't think anyone can learn anything from this pile of poo....

reply

18 - After "The In-Laws" and "You, Me and Dupree" , Michael Douglas shows that he forgot how to pick good movies to act in.

19 - It's never too late to rape a Charles Dickens classical.

20 - If you meet a successful doctor who happens to be a charismatic guy and good dancer, choose to be with the heartless jerk who already said he liked you once, but ran away minutes after he had sex with you.

21 - If you *beep* up your brothers weeding by: Giving a heartless/selfish speech in front of everybody, Hitting on the brides mother, ruining the expensive weeding cake and revealing to one of the best frinds of the bride that the husband already cheated on her,,, all you have to do to fix things up is to knock her father up in front of her and do a 2 minute cliché speech.

22 - After "13 Going on 30" and "Elektra", Jennifer Garner shows that she still can't pick good movies to act in.








You wouldn't arrest a guy who was just passing drugs from one guy to another.

28. If your super expensive wedding cakes crashes the day before your wedding, no need to rush out and buy another. Your maid of honor will gather the mushy crumbs from the kitchen floor and press it back together. I'm sure your guests won't mind eating cake from the floor.

29. If a salad is served without figs, the proper response is to lose your effin' mind.

30. Only divorced women of "a certain age" keep their fine form.

31. Being a famous and wealthy photographer basically comes down to pushing a button. You don't have to be involved in picking out the wardrobes or setting the lighting. Just find a archery pro and your job is all but finished.

32. Apparently remote control shades are available. You wouldn't want to lost twenty seconds of face sucking time to shut them yourself.

33. Conference calls really do breed efficiency.

34. Old, golden cars that could be better described as a boat will have no problem plowing threw a few feet of snow and trees while speeding down a hill with no problem.

I am pretty sure he didnt knock him up. It looked to me like he knocked him out though. =)

Let off some steam, Bennet!

reply

Wait, when did he knock the father up? That's really dirty... And impossible.

reply

73. It's okay to punch and knock out old people if it's important enough. No one will mind at the time and there won't even be a bruise.

74. If you don't subsequently obey the person you had sex with then you are a bad person.

75. Taking the morally righteous position is the accepted strategy for people who don't behave very well. Shamelessly misbehaving, while more honest, marks you as a social inferior.

76. Matthew McConaughey probably picks up lots of chicks by making these movies. Still, he's a long way behind Martin Sheen.

reply


Re: Number 21.

By the way 'KNOCK UP' means to make somebody pregnant!

'KNOCK OUT' means .. you know to knock somebody out.


Tell sanchito that if he knows what is good for him he best go run and hide

reply

[deleted]

40- Despite the horrendous being of this flick, Michael Douglas is still a legend!

reply

41 - The only thing that could possibly be worse than Matthew McConaghey's last movie is...the next one.

"There were no dollars in them days."

"But sons of b****es, yeah."

reply

42. It's fine to sleep with your best friend's boyfriend with absolutely no consequences. She won't even be upset with you when she finds out. However, she'll be so pissed at her fiance that she'll call off her upcoming wedding last minute. You two will continue your friendship like nothing happened.

reply

43. Matthew McConaughey will never learn to how to act in a film that doesn't have a the term 'chick flick' associated with it.

If memory serves me correctly he tried to act in Contact rather unsuccessfully.

47. The *average* American woman these days wears a size 0-4.

48. Well of course there are *plenty* of retired military well represented among America's upper middle class.

49. If you got nothing else out of this movie, surely you got the public service announcement/product placement subliminal message entrenched in this movie: If Matthew McConaghey and Michael Douglas profess going through condoms like women go through tissue paper, you better get back on the condom bandwagon.

50. There are no fat chicks at weddings -- ever.

reply

53. Being frenched by a 9th Grader is preferable to asking the boy you've loved since childhood for a dance.

54. If you're a young Matthew McConaughy seducing a young Jennifer Garner requires having sex with a far hotter Emma Stone.

55. If one of your friends had sex with your fiance, its less important that your friends slept with him and more important that he slept with her.

56. Asking an ugly chick an obscene question will lead to her hot friend to sleeping with you.

57. Emma Stone, who's evidently incapable of not looking hot, and Christina Milian are the only reason to watch this. If you wanna watch a Christmas Carol parody that doesn't suck, just rent Scrooged.

65. Every woman falls in love after being picked up, and is shocked when she gets her heart broken.

Agreed on both comments describing Emma Stone!

I forgot that she was in it.


" are the only reason to watch this. If you wanna watch a Christmas Carol parody that doesn't suck, just rent Scrooged. "
Or buy it. Or just do either for the othe,r later-released 2009, dead-serious collaboration between Disney, Robert Zemeckis, and Jim Carrey, "A Christmas Carol".

53. People don't get gender-dynamics, as they don't see why the lead got the girls.

54. Social construct frowns upon a non-monogamous lifestyle, and thus his polyamorousity is deemed equal to Scrooge's greed.

55. The film appeal directly to women's ultimate romantic fantasy: Find a bad boy that you find attractive -> Whip him into a "nice guy"/submissive (-> Lose attraction -> Move on.)

reply

No, and I mean absolutely no sissy talk in the Stabbin' Wagon!

reply

56. When one brother's about 5'11 (McConaughey) and the other's about 5'5" (Meyer), there's obviously a very strong family resemblance.

64. You'll die alone if you don't get married.

reply

65. The sex-addicted uncle with a strong resemblance to Robert Evans never wears his seatbelt. (Actually I kind of liked that one. I wish they would have done more with it, like have Michael Douglas die in an accident by flying through the windshield.)

66. When two leads are cast for a movie, they are going to hook up at the end no matter how lame the set-up.

67. The worst fate for a man in life is to have nobody show up for his funeral, despite the fact that he nailed more chicks than Wilt Chamberlain and Warren Beatty put together.

reply

68. Women are not capable of having a life for themselves unless they have a man in their life.

69. It is always the responsability of the man to fix everything and show the women the right way.

70. In the US machism is what it is all about and Hollywood knows and people buy it.

This is not a signature!

74. If the bride is acting like a huge psycho, everyone should be subservient to her in every way. No need for anybody to tell her she's being completely irrational and scary, or even to suggest that she calm down.

75. If you are the bride, you should wear a strapless dress with an industrial strength push-up bra to your rehearsal dinner. It won't look tacky at all.

76. Don't send chocolate. It goes straight to the hips.

79. A beautiful woman will throw herself at you when she realizes they she is the ONLY bridesmaid that hasn't slept with you yet!

reply

82. Don't tell a ghost you want to stay and see something, because they will punch you into where they want to take you next.

reply

83. If you sleep with 200 women, every single one of them will end up being angry at you for not calling them back and/or having a relationship with them. None of them wanted casual sex back.
