Simply Irresistible (1999)

This is not the worst movie that I have ever seen, but it is the first movie that I've forgotten that I was watching while it was on.

Simply Irresistible, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0145893/, 1999 Sarah Michelle Gellar movie about a baker that actually creates magic in the kitchen. There are a few scenes where people start floating towards the ceiling.

Quite possibly the worst "romantic comedy" (I use that term loosely here) ever and I've seen a lot of romantic comedies. It stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and I bought it on a whim during the height of my Buffy obsession and despite numerous attempts, no one will buy the movie back or even allow me to donate it to charity.

 

To sum up the movie: magical crabs, random dance numbers, and some great fog machine work.

This was the one where SMG showed her range by playing someone with a different hair color. You think I'm kidding, but I remember seeing her in interviews at the time where she stressed that "In this one, I'm a brunette...". Game? Changed!

This movie seems like it was made for Lifetime, but it wasn't. It was in theaters.

Much as I love SMG, she clearly has a very limited range. Whedon got some magic out of her, but I've rarely seen her in anything else that I enjoyed. Other than Cruel Intentions, of course.

This came on today and I cant get through the first 25 minutes. 13% on Rotten Tomatoes is too fair.

Fun Depressing fact: This was the last movie Gene Siskel reviewed before he died.

This movie was the first time i'd seen Powder without the powder. I'd just assumed he was a natural albino.

Considering her work on "Buffy" (not to mention her two guest spots on "Angel") as well as some of her film work including the likes of "Cruel Intentions" and "Veronika Decides to Die," I'll have to very much agree to disagree on that.

 

She's underrated/underestimated, in my opinion.

[seanotron 2307]

Well, in Angel she's playing the same character so I feel like that was a already a given. And like I said, I love her in Cruel Intentions. But she's been pretty mediocre in most everything else.

Again, will just have to agree to disagree.

Next movie coming up!

A very deserving pick.

I can't wait for the Buffy fans to show up and defend this turd.

[Lando 2019]

This movie sounds like it would pair up nicely with Just My Luck.
