Review of Finding Amanda (2008) by Sherry L — 26 Oct 2009
A not the least funny comedy about a slacker, gamble addict, former alcoholic and drug addict named Taylor Mendon (playes by Matthew Broderick) who in an attempt to impress his wife who just had have enough of him, travels to Las Vegas to save their 20-year old niece (played by Brittany Snow) from prostitution. But in fact it's just an excuse to gamble and party, even though he looks for and finds Amanda too who seems to be a nice and happy prostitute, and proud of her new profession. So they party all day long and Taylor gambles for thousands and thousands of dollars that don't really exist.
The humour in this movie is based on some lame witty lines delivered from Snow to Broderick. The niece is talking dirty with her uncle! So (un)funny!
And Broderick is supposed to be sooooo funny everytime he is calling his wife and lying about checks.
What have we learned from this, then? First, Matthew Broderick should stay away from comedy. And perhaps all the other genres too. He have to realise that he is not the same squirrel-looking rascal he was twenty years ago, and move on with his life.
Brittany Snow... Has she ever been in a movie worth to mention?
Anywayzzzz, this movie was a complete waste of time...zzzz.
