The words bad romantic comedy may now add up to a redundant phrase, butbadis still a relative concept.

I had fun atMiss Congeniality, Music and Lyrics,and at parts of last yearsThe Heartbreak Kid.

Does that make them good movies, or me an easy connoisseur of bad ones?

If its possible to have too even a tan, Hudson inFools Goldwould be the poster child for it.

Her bronze glaze stiffens her, hardening the sparkle in her face.
