See Jane Poison a Diva...Someone in Hollywood Owes the Whamminess a Lot of Money

Jane Fonda has returned to the silver screen. Who ordered this comeback? Surely, there are those absent from the cinematic scene more worthy of a high-profile rejuvenation: Joe Pesci, Christopher Lloyd, and Steve Buscemi are names that immediately pop into my grey matter. "Monster-in-Law" is a vitriolic escapade into the timeless animosity between bride-to-be and mother-in-law-to-be that features Barbarella and The Fly Girl J-Low engaged in a 100-minute tete-a-tete for the attention of the vapid catalog model who kissed Drew Barrymore on the pitcher's mound in "Never Been Kissed". The movie was a pounce on the memory banks as Fonda's unabashedly unlikeable uncharacter consistently provoked images from figures in my personal life. Not good. Didn't make the movie an altogether enjoyable experience. My wife (THE WHAMMINESS HAS HAD A CATHARSIS!! IT IS LIKE A SMOOTH CREAM RINSE OF COCONUT AND BERRIES!) had mixed feelings about the movie. i hate 90% of the movies that i see, anyway, so this wasn't an unusual scenario. More importantly, all of this hoopla for Fonda vs. Lopez is undue and Wanda Sykes' wise-crackin' sidekick character was cumbersome and derivative. BANG BANG!! i've seen worse...
