Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0815236/
This is one of those rare movies that started out slow, then got great in the middle, and then ended badly. For the first 30 minutes, I kept questioning the casting: would I have liked the awkward kid from "Superbad" instead in the male lead? Would Jessica Alba or would "Girl Next Door" Elisha Cutbert have been better as the female lead? So while I'm thinking about those things, I chuckle here and there. And then out of nowhere, during the middle of the movie, everything just clicked - the movie got funnier, you didn't doubt the casting, and the movie was somewhat believable. And sure enough, like coming down from a drug high, everything started to suck again. In the end, it's a great "plane" movie and maybe even worthy of a Netflix queue, but I'm not going around recommending the movie to anyone.
